LOW PASS CONTROL SETTINGS

Dolby Digital

®

sound systems

A Dolby Digital decoder provides its own pro-
cessing when you activate the decoder’s
Subwoofer Out jack. Set the BaseCube’s 

LOW

PASS FREQUENCY

control at it’s fully-clockwise

position; this will effectively bypass it (see exam-
ples below).

Note: 

A Dolby Digital receiver has a large/small

speaker selector and a Subwoofer Out jack
On/Off selector. We recommend setting the first
option to SMALL for the Front, Center and Rear
speakers in your system, unless the speakers are
floor-standing, with a ten-inch woofer or larger.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) and 
Stereo sound systems

Follow the guidelines in the next column when
both your main speakers and your subwoofer are
driven by a full range signal. This is the case in a
stereo component system or a Dolby Surround
with Pro Logic system.

The BassCube 10S 

LOW PASS FREQUENCY

control is shown in the next column. The guide-
lines apply equally to the BassCube 8S 

LOW

PASS FREQUENCY

control.

Use a 140 Hz setting for small “satel-
lite”-type main speakers (“minispeak-
ers”) or any speaker with a single
four-inch low frequency driver or
smaller. Use this setting with these
Cambridge SoundWorks 
main speakers:

Ensemble III satellites
Ensemble IV satellites

Use a 120 Hz setting for larger satel-
lite main speakers and the smallest
bookshelf speakers. Use this setting
with these Cambridge SoundWorks
