Input/Output Crossover

TYPL

The three available filter types for the low frequency crossover point (high pass) are:  
Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley or Bessel. 

FRQL

  

The filter cut-off frequency for the low frequency crossover point (high pass) ranges 
from 20Hz to 30kHz in either 1Hz steps or 1/36 octave steps. The frequency steps 
can be selected in the System menu.

SLPL

The filter slope for low frequency crossover point (high pass) ranges from 6 to 
48dB/octave. If the selected filter type is Linkwitz-Riley, the available slopes are 12, 
24, 36 or 48dB/octave only.

TYPH
