Here’s my easy set up. Set the speaker configuration to small. Set the crossover on the front two mains at 80HZ. Set the center channel crossover at 10-20 HZ above the speaker rated level. Set the surrounds the same way snd any atmos speakers at 110 to 120HZ. Set the subs to 60HZ on the speaker. This will get a smooth roll off from the fronts set at 80. In the AVR set the bass level to LFE and the crossover to 120. This works very good for low power receivers. I have the marantz NR 1711 at only 50 watts per channel but it works extremely well when not using crossovers at lower HZ. I have the Klipsch Rf26fa towers with Dolby atmos upfiring speaker’s integrated. Running a 5.1.2 setup with two Subs.

I usually set 20-30 Hz above the +/-3dB measurement in the specs. My current bookshelves are rated down to only 100hz, so I set it to 120-150hz depending on placement (boundary reinforcement)

Hi i have elac cinema 5 how much crossover should i set? i searched on web their frequency response and it was 120hz should i set them at 120hz or more

[coachvelarde]

Great video!! I have a couple of questions. Here is my setup:

Denon 4700
Klipsch R-625FA Dolby Atmos Floor stand speakers
Klipsch RP- 504C II center channel
Klipsch R-41M Bookshelf speakers
Klipsch R-12SW subwoofer


1-What are your suggestions for the crossover settings?

2- What are your suggestions for the db level for all the speakers? This is where I am confused.

I did an auto calibration my fronts audio pro avantek six when down too 40HZ. My center too 100HZ. My surround 120hz. LFE 120hz . Is this a good setup ? or should i bump up my mains too 80 hz ?

[bingobaz]

The real question I have is if say you set the cross over to 40 on your front left and right speakers. Do I then set the crossover on the actual sub to 40 too?

[williamkumwenda]

What’s the best crossover frequency for speakers which are rated 1500Hz, 200-1400Hz, 120-1500Hz ?

I set my tower 6 0hm yamaha speakers that go down to 30hz to 60htz my yamaha center channel goes down to 50htz I set that to 70htz and my yamaha surround sound speakers that go down to 60htz to 80htz. My yamaha atmos go down to 60hz set to 80 hz Both klipsch Subwoofers at 120 and it all sounds incredible...

I’m using a pair of Wharfedale speakers 9.1 only… for front speakers; along with my pioneer VSX 933; to play CD music and also from YouTube. i have a choice of cross over settings. Either, 50, 80, 150 or 200. But not really sure which setting, to use.

my center speaker is Dali Opticon Vokal MK2 the frequency response is 47-30 wich frequency response you recomend, thank you for the attention

[JavierSN]

when he say look at the speaker manual does that mean where it say RATED FREQUENCY RANGE (HZ) 35hz-50hz?

[totalplonker]

Speaker placement is just as important as crossover. Get your centre channel to the outside edge of the cabinet!

[mitchmanTX]

Thank you very much! This is extremely helpful!

I am new to this AVRs n all. Last week i got my Denon X1700H & klipsch refernce R series 5.1. Works great as its a starter set up. I set my subwoofer in 80hz. Inside Avr set into LFE. The default inside value is 120hz. Which one should i go for ? 80 for both or 120 ???

[mattjohns]

Hmm struggling to find where to set my focal aria 926 towers and 900c centre. Any help

[txgunnarpeterson]

What is that subwoofer at the 2:38 mark? That is a beast!

[jorgepineda]

I have R25C, R15M Front, and R41M for surround.

Let me know if I understand you correctly.
R25C: 120hz
R41M: 150hz
R15M: 90hz I guess???

The sub is R-100sw, I think 60hz? 70hz? 80hz?

Awesome video bro!!
I have a Sony STR HD790 and I still can’t figure it out how to calibrate the levels with my spl specially cause it don’t have the volume scale to set it up at 75 to 80
And when I start calibrating the levels I put my receiver at 0 on the master volume and I don’t get any sound I’ll really appreciate it if you can help me thank you?
