Awesome. Thank you. Love this series. It’s often about tech facts and knowledge about topics I believe I fully understand, but when prompted, I’m unable to clearly discuss in a cohesive and nuanced way. The words are stuck on my tongue, so to speak.
First I'd like to say thank you for the video. I think I learn this when I was 12 years old I have been an audio file and then a professional musician my entire life. I was wondering if you have done a video or could do a video about mixing a song so that the bass guitar and let's say the kick drum don't share the same frequency? I've been having that issue with so many recording studios with people behind the board that just didn't know what they were doing either during recording or mixdown and even to the mastering process. Thanks!
I have a Yamaha receiver, the RX-A1070, which I discovered can use the second room speaker outputs in a “bi-amp” configuration. My speakers, KEF Reference Ones, have dual inputs so it worked out and sounds better to my ears. But now I wonder where the crossover frequency is set (probably the receiver) and what it is set at. Just musing after having watched this informative video.
I have a Yamaha with the same setup. But I actually use it for speakers and an upstairs game room. The sound was extremely flat and I contacted Yamaha and was told that the signal coming out for the second room does not use the crossover built into the amp so you're getting a straight signal. I purchased a Behringer equalizer it's pretty small but very efficient with gain knobs built-in and a 10-band EQ. I'm guessing you would probably have to do the same and then adjust the EQ to what frequencies you want it to go to for What speaker you're hooking it up to. I hope that helped answer your question on your Yamaha amp.
Ok great. Now please talk about different crossovers sweetwater sells and when and how to use them in real life applications. I work with jbl prx series. The prx815 and the matching subs, and the prx815 seems to carry too much of the bass frequencies, so I’m guessing I need a crossover to direct some of that lower bass frequencies to the subs.. thanks for the video
this brings me back to thinking about that little focal sub video mitch did. My question is, at the higher bass frequencies at the crossover zone, how do you deal with phase cancellation and other physical positioning issues. there is no control over the relative positioning of mains and subs by the mfr. my feeling is that single acoustically-aligned cabinets are the way to go.
i have a sound system with very good speakers, but can’t seem to figure out the proper crossover freq you those speakers you can set the center, the surround, and fronts
If you're talking about for a home theater type system, I'd try to find the rated frequency responses of your Left/Right speakers, then set the crossover at the low number of those ratings. There's typically not much low frequency sound mixed to rear channels (usually mainly left and right... center tends to be more mid-focused for dialog in movies). L/R speakers typically will be more accurate than a subwoofer.
@@davemccall9594 is there something online for definitive speakers i can find? in my system settings i have all the speakers set to 120 HZ but that may be wrong
Hello, great advice My question is what is the guide frequency is to reduce travel sound from the bass subwoofer (from my house) to my next-door neighbors. Would you say below 40hz? my New Denon Flagship amp overs a setting and my new SVS sub also offer a setting.
Daniel Fisher breaks down crossover frequency! 💥
I loved that shiny golden capsule of the condenser microphone setting in the background 🤩😂
Absolutely great video. You explain concepts so clearly. I'm not even a sound enthusiast, but this is so interesting

wonderfully done. I love all of the sweetwater videos
Dude... that was an epic explanation. Thanks!

Very good explained 🎉
Awesomeness 👍❤

Thanks Daniel! If I use a multiband compressor with crossover frequencies as a mix buss, do I risk losing any power or impact to my final mix?
