Hi I've read the brilliant sticky and am fine with my main Denon system for Home Theatre.
My question is re: using my old Denon AVR1912 amp in my music studio to power the monitors and 8" sealed sub.
I'm trying to set it so that I get a high pass filter to my monitor speakers (L&R) and LPF to the sub.
As I'm trying to use it like a normal HiFi amp it means I don't have it connected to a screen so can't really see what's going on, although I'm hoping the display menu gives me the same info and options.
I'm guessing if I put the L&R to small , as with home theatre, it will apply a HPF to the L&R.
But what I don't understand is reading the manual there seems to be no option to set a crossover frequency for the sub and a HPF for the small at the same time.
Do I set the sub as LFE or LFE+main, because there is no video special effects feed for sub, it's simply that I want low frequencies from the music I'm producing to be earmarked for the sub instead.
Then there's an option for "LPF for LFE", well again I don't know if I should be using LFE because this is just for a sound system. And then it gives me options from 80Hz upwards. Am I right to assume the frequency I choose here is just for the LPF to the sub, or will it also at the same time apply the accordingly HPF for the "small" L&R speakers?
There's another option after "channel level" which does say "crossover frequency" - is that the one I should be using instead? This apparently will only show up when I use SMALL and "LFE+main" which is what I think I should be using anyway. As above, is the frequency I set here a dual-action i.e. will it be the LPF cutoff for the sub AND the HPF for the SMALL front speakers?
And so do I ignore the "LPF for LFE" crossover bit?
Sorry about this, I know small/large/sub/crossover Qs are common and irritating and there's a whole thread on it, but as I'm not really using it in its normal sense I am getting confused by its application for my setup and would appreciate any help, which this excellent forum always seems to give!
