[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 73668, member: 2124"] Re: HPF and LPF Crossover Curves I'll have to defer to Tim and others. I know for our setup it's definitely a system protection issue. We had an excellent consultant not only balance the room and program our DSP, but explain much of what was discussed here. I didn't get much of it at the time, but the discussion in these threads is brining back many of the points (and warnings!) he raised and it resonated pretty strongly. If your positive that if the console got reset to default settings and you wouldn't damage your gear (it may sound weird, but not kill anything) then I would deem that a potentially reasonable risk. But without scene protection and a way to define a mandatory default scene - i.e. lacking a way to lock settings - I wouldn't feel comfortable using the X32 as a crossover if my gear could be harmed by it being reset to defaults. As you point out, all of our systems are potentially different and it may not be as big an issue for some as it is with others.

I know for me, I know enough to be dangerous and not enough to cover every contingency, so I've learned to be conservative in those situations :) EDIT: and the main concern seems to be sending lows to the tweeters - vice versa doesn't seem to matter as much ;) [/QUOTE]
