Cross over frequency settings confused

jellyrolly · October 2020

I have a str-dh590 av receiver my fronts T-50, center T-30, surrounds T-15 and sub SA-2500. I set up my crossover frequency point 10 higher on each speaker my fronts 50 hz, center 70 hz, surround 70 hz, and the sub 60hz. Good or bad

That's an R.E.M. tune, right?
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

The end goal is to get a smooth blending between each of the speakers (mostly the front left and right speakers) and the subwoofer. In very general terms I recommend taking the lowest frequency the speakers can reproduce (usually the -3dB or "half power" limits). Then double this frequency, for example let's say the speaker manufacturer states the -3dB lower limit is 38Hz, so double this and get 76Hz. This would be a good beginning point for a crossover setting. But it takes some extended listening and making small changes to get the blend cohesive and seamless.
Your settings seem reasonable and should sound good.
