Recommended
crossover and filter
settings
Christie Vive Audio systems are designed to use specialized crossover and filter settings for operation
in two-way bi-amplified, three-way tri-amplified, low frequency effects (LFE), surround high pass filter,
or bass management modes.
Use the following crossover and filter settings to ensure that your system is optimally configured.
Precautions
Keep the following points in mind when selecting the crossover and protection filter settings.
•
Do not use any crossover or filter settings other than those listed, to avoid sub-optimal
performance and damage to equipment.
•
Vive Audio subwoofers feature a vented box design, with extended bass shelf (EBS) tuning.
You must use a high pass protection filter, as specified in this document, to avoid operating
below enclosure tuning frequency and damaging drivers from over-excursion.
•
When tuning a system, we recommend performing bulk equalization at the crossover,
balancing speaker and subwoofer output level to achieve the flattest response for the
environment and before any other equalization is applied to system.
