Operation Mode: Highpass FRONT & REAR

KW 4V8 

 

This mode is used principally for kickbass operation of a front system or as subsonic filter for the bass load throw-
off of a front system. The maximum load of the kickbass loudspeakers can be substantially increased in this mode. 
The high-pass, with 60-70 Hz and 24 dB slope per octave, removes frequencies below 60-70 Hz, which are 
superfluous and harmful to the kickbass loudspeaker, thereby significantly improving the performance and lifespan 
of the speaker. The kickbass performance of the loudspeaker is in no way reduced, but rather, the capabilities are 
improved. Additionally the loudspeaker thermal and mechanical capabilities are strengthened. 
 

 

Switch „HPF“ (

11

) should be adjusted to setting „x1“ (1 time) or „x10“ (10 times) and the cut off frequency 

should be set by means of the potentiometer „HPF“ (

16

) to between 15 Hz – 500 Hz and/or 150 Hz – 5 kHz on 

the FRONT channels. 

 

 

Switch „HPF“ (

12

) should be adjusted to setting „x1“ (1 time) or „x10“ (10 times) and the cut off frequency

 

should be set by means of the potentiometer „HPF“ (

17

) to between 15 Hz – 500 Hz on the REAR channels. 

 
In this setting, as described above, all frequencies below 60-70 Hz are removed with large slope from the 
loudspeaker and therefore cannot be reproduced. Only the frequencies from 60-70 Hz to 50 kHz are fully available. 
Therefore, in this mode a separate amplified subwoofer, which reproduces all frequencies below 60-70 Hz is 
absolutely necessary.
