[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1074527, member: 13448"] Yes you are correct but only if your mains are set to LARGE. So to recap: [b]Option 1 - speaker set to small[/b] a) LFE is selected: Mains play low frequencies up to the mains crossover setting (high pass filter) and the sub only plays whatever the sound engineer included in the dedicated LFE channel. So you effectively lose the standard low frequencies that are below the mains crossover level. b) LFE + MAINS is selected: Mains play low frequencies up to the mains crossover setting, sounds below the crossover settings is sent to the sub and the sub also plays whatever the sound engineer included in the dedicated LFE channel. So the sub delivers standard low frequencies (below the mains crossover level) and LFE encoded frequencies. [b]Option 2 - speaker set to large[/b] a) LFE is selected: Mains play low frequencies as low as they are physically capable of going and the sub only plays whatever the sound engineer included in the dedicated LFE channel. b) LFE + MAINS is selected: Mains play low frequencies as low as they are physically capable of going and the sub plays whatever the sound engineer included in the dedicated LFE channel [b]PLUS[/b] the standard low frequencies from the main channels.
