Setup>Speakers>Speaker Config
Here is where you tell the MX100 what type of
speakers are connected. The available speaker
categories are based on the settings in Amp Assign
(See page 18).
Speakers are dened as Large or Small. A Large
Speaker is a full-range speaker. (Technically, a
speaker able to reproduce bass frequencies down to
35Hz within -3dB of the midrange frequencies.) If it
is not Large, then it is Small.
Set each speaker catagory to Large or Small. For a
system with a Subwoofer(s), choose the number of
subwoofers (1 or 2).
Speaker Options
Front Large / Small
Center Large / Small / None

Top Front Large / Small

Crossovers
Setup>Speakers>Crossovers
Sound below the crossover frequency is cut off from
the Output to “Small” speakers and is outputted to
the subwoofer or front speakers.
The default crossover frequency is “80Hz”, which
will work best with the widest variety of speakers.
We recommend setting to a higher frequency
when small speakers are used. For example, set to
“250Hz” when the frequency range of the speakers
is 250Hz to 20kHz.
Sound below the crossover frequency is cut off from
the Output to “Small” speakers and is outputted to
the subwoofer or front speakers.
You can choose Individual or All. The Individual
option will allow each available speaker’s crossover
frequency to be set individually. The All option will
globally set the Crossover Frequency to the chosen
value. Available values are:
40 Hz / 60 Hz / 80 Hz / 90 Hz / 100 Hz /
110Hz / 120 Hz / 150 Hz / 200 Hz / 250 Hz
Bass Type
Setup>Speakers>Bass Type
The Subwoofer Mode can be set for:
• LFE (Low Frequency Effects) which would
provide, to the subwoofer(s), the LFE channel
plus the low frequency output below the set
crossover frequency of speakers set to small
(see “Speaker Conguration” on page 19)
• LFE+Main which would include the LFE
channel as well as the low frequency output,
below the set crossover frequency, of the
Main channel
