M-Audio SBX [11/16] 50 100 175 500 hz

This crossover network consists of two main components: a 2nd order (12

db/octave) low-pass filter that limits the upper frequencies that the subwoofer

has to reproduce (shown above), and a high-pass filter that limits the lower

frequencies the satellite monitors have to reproduce (shown below). The

Subwoofer LPF cutoff frequency (#4) and Satellite HPF cutoff frequency (#5)

controls adjust frequencies of the low- and high-pass filters, respectively. Both

have a range of 50 to 180 Hz.

You will need to use your ears to determine the best settings for these filters.

The frequency markings shown next to each control knob may give you some

guidelines. 50Hz (or above) might be used as a setting for music production.

80Hz is the proposed setting for Dolby Digital playback, while 100Hz is the

proposed setting for THX.
