Paradigm Studio Sub12

[JokerJack]

Hi - I get my Sub on Saturday and have to say i can't wait but i thought i would try and understand how to set this up now before i get it. I have also ordered the PBK kit and just wanted to try and understand the setting on the sub and what order i need to things..

1. What setting's should i apply to the sub with regards to following (i have a denon AVR-3312 by the way)
Trigger on/off and Auto on/off
Subwoofer Cut-off with bypass option
Subwoofer level control
phase alignment (i will be using kef ls50's on the front and MA A10's with the rear)

2. Do i run Audessey on the denon first and then run the PBK or should i do it the other way round.

Thank you so much in advance

Auto on or on, whichever you prefer.
"cut off"? Crossover on sub? If so, bypass it or set it to the highest setting.

Sub level. I'd start in the 1/3rd to 1/2 range. Adjust as needed if Audyssey moves the sub level control in the receiver to one of the extremes during calibration.

I'd run PBK first.

Is it a High Pass Filter or a Low Pass Filter?

 

[JokerJack]

Cheers for your help guys.. Have set the volume just under half and set the cross over to bypass

A crossover is a low pass filter.

Oh yeah, that makes sense now I think about it

It seems a bit wrong that a LPF is used at the high end and a HPF is used at the low end, but its not when you think about it. A LPF lets low frequencies pass, and a HPF lets high frequencies pass.

Set phase to 0,turn LPF to max . Run PBK first with gain control set to the click @mid point. Once this is done , PBK run, back the gain control down to about 10 o'clock.

Let Audyssey do the rest.

That properly confused me when I joined
