psw450 crossover

On PSW450, does the crossover takes effect for both lfe input and line level input or just for line level input?

Best regards.

Hello,
Thanks for participating in the Forum. I believe you are asking if the LFE input, on your sub-woofer, bypasses the variable low pass filter, correct? If so, then yes, it does. This is necessary to avoid double filtering, your receiver's sub-out connection is going to send frequencies below a certain point (usually 80 or 90 Hz) to the sub-woofer. There is no need for any additional filtering (except for owners who would want a lower low pass filter point, say 60 Hz) so the LFE input does't involve any additional filtering. The regular left and right line level inputs, on the sub-woofer, do go through the variable low pass filter, allowing the owner to choose a different low pass filter point providing a full range signal is given to the unit.
