[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 67185, member: 4"] Re: X32 Discussion If you don't know the difference between a crossover and a graphic EQ I suggest you buy only powered speakers so you can't mess with them. A graphic EQ can attenuate a particular frequency range by maybe 12-15dB, and pulling down all the sliders does not make a pretty result. A crossover attenuates more and more as you get farther into the stop-band, often by 24dB [I]per octave[/I]. That means that, if you put a 24db/8ve high pass at 1kHz, by 500Hz it's down 24dB and by 250Hz it's down 48dB. Your graphic EQ would still only be down 12-15dB, which will not adequately control excursion and especially in between subs and mains will be very audible! The ripple from the cascaded filters all at max reduction will also be very strange, expect at least 3dB of error and possibly much more. [/QUOTE]
