OT: Setting xover for 2.1 setup
Ok, wildly offtopic for the studio sound geeks here:
I am using a monitoring setup consisting of two Dynaudio BM5A
nearfields, which are specified with 50-21k Hz (and crossover at 1.5kHz,
in case that's relevant).
Right now, when using a calibrated K-setup, they are running at -10dB
for K-20 calibrated monitoring, so there's enough level remaining "to
the top".
I decided to extend that to a 2.1 setup using a single Dynaudio BM14S.
Now the nearfields have a HP, offering flat, 60Hz and 80Hz frequencies,
while the sub can be set to LP at 50-150Hz.
Now, I'm deciding between the 60 or 80 Hz crossover. My line of argument
goes like this:
60 Hz:
* generally, easier to get to sound good w/ regard to phase thingies
* larger range in binaural reproduction.
80Hz:
* could get more SPL (but not relevant here)
* would relieve the nearfields' LF speakers to concentrate more on
the low mids.
Ok: your recommendations?
