Got a new BK XXLS400 sub, still learning how to set it up in my room. Anyway, found a strange behavior of the frequency filter of the sub while setting the crossover with my speakers.
I am generating 200, 100 and 60Hz audio signals on my phone and stream them to my AMP. I measure then the sub output attenuation vs sub's LPF settings.
Here is my setup:
Android frequency generator app -> BT LDAC receiver -> DAC -> Analogue Amp.
Here are the results:
My concerns are as following:
Does it look normal and I need to readjust my expectations, or do my concerns have some merit?
Thanks
I am generating 200, 100 and 60Hz audio signals on my phone and stream them to my AMP. I measure then the sub output attenuation vs sub's LPF settings.
Here is my setup:

Here are the results:
My concerns are as following:
- The total attenuation range is about 20dB for 200Hz, and only 11dB for 60Hz. I'd expect it to be in the range above 40-60dB at least
- The 60Hz signal is attenuated by -3db at ~110-120Hz. I'd expect to see the LPF to kick in around 60dB
- 200Hz signal is still leaking at 40Hz. In fact, there is no difference after the 80Hz filtering, the attenuation doesn't change in the 80-40Hz area
Does it look normal and I need to readjust my expectations, or do my concerns have some merit?
Thanks
