LFE settings Without A Sub

MilkyJoe

I'm setting up my amp and wondered what settings to use for LFE high cut and mix level.

I've set it as having no sub so it should send the bass to the speakers. Does the high cut and mix level settings make any difference when you tell it you haven't got a sub?

The bass is OK but could be better. My front speakers have a frequency range of 50 - 20.000 Hz, I don't know what the centre or surround speaker frequency range is but they seem to handle some bass through them.

On all of the AV amps that I have used, disabling the sub also renders all of the LFE settings inoperative.

However, it's not uncommon to have a "speaker size" setting on each channel, which the processor will use to determine how much bass to send to that channel. You should get the best bass response by setting your main front speakers to "large" and the other 3 to "small".

I should add the obvious: I haven't tried every make and model of AV processor in existence, so yours may not work anything like the above!
