CROSSOVER
INPUT
● Connect the SUB output from the surround controller to the
subwoofer’s line level input.
The 541 Surround Controller provides very high quality
crossovers for the subwoofer. For best results you should
remove or disable any crossover in the subwoofer, and leave the
surround controller set to Sub Narrow. Even if you cannot
bypass the subwoofer crossover we recommend you leave the
surround controller set to Sub Narrow to use the surround
controller’s crossover, and set the subwoofer crossover to its
highest setting (eg 200Hz). For more information see To specify
the type of subwoofer, page 39.
