Set the high pass filters slope - 
A crossover doesn’t simply send all content above 81 Hz to the main speakers 
and all content below 79 Hz to the sub. Instead there is a gradual transition. The crossover point is the frequency 
at which the amount of information in the sub and main speaker is equal. The crossover slope determines how 
gradual or abrupt this transition occurs. More gradual slopes generally result in a smoother transition from main to 
sub. However, gradual transitions can cause distortion in small main speakers because too much bass is sent to 
them. Gradual transitions with higher crossover settings can also cause the perceived location of a sound to move 
from the correct main speaker to the sub’s location. THX speakers are specifically designed to use a 24 dB slope 
for the subwoofer and a 12 dB slope for the main speakers.
