How to set up a crossover for live sound?
Crossovers take a signal from your mixer that is a left and right channel, and separates them to different speakers based upon frequencies. Set the subwoofer’s lowpass filter to its highest cutoff frequency. Experiment with the polarity setting on your subwoofer to see which position provides the best bass response. Leave the polarity in the position that provided the loudest bass response. This means that your subwoofer is in phase with your full-range speaker. Then, you can experiment with the lowpass and highpass filter settings until you find the one that provides the smoothest crossover transition.
