I use my Devialet Expert to implement high and low pass filters to mains and dual mono subs.
Having measured with REW I opted to roll off the mains (Harbeth P3ESR) at 120Hz.
The received wisdom is to roll off the mains 2nd order which when (theoretically) combined with the natural roll off of the sealed mains gives a combined 4th order roll off. With room gain in play the mains don’t measure at all like the theory and they have decent output down to 50hz
I therefore opted to implement a 4th order rolloff on the mains in the Devialet settings to better match the 4th order used in the subs.
Any wisdom from the experts on whether this is a good strategy? There are so many permutations of cross over frequency and roll off order that insights would be appreciated to narrow the field !
I can set 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th on mains and subs .
I think the answer will be - whatever measures best …
Thanks all.
