What is "slope"???


I dont think I totally understand the properties of slope?

I'm setting up a Theta Casablanca and when it comes to crossover I get it,....but as far as setting the slope, Im at a loss as to what it addresses.

Please help me understand what I should be listening for.

Thanks.

So you're talking about the high-pass filter to the Thiels?

If so, my 1st response is 'why bother'? Using any of these filters introduces phase errors into the bass and midrange frequencies. Also, it sounds as if you're using one subwoof, so filtering the bass from the Thiels makes the low- and midbass mono instead of stereo.

My 2nd response is the less 'slope' (and phase errors) the better. If you feel you MUST use a hi-pass filter, use as gentle a one as you can select.

But try running them fullrange and filling just the bottom octave with the subwoof.
Ezmeralda, Jeffrey -- thanks for the the clarification on the slope values. My memory doesn't seem to work quite as well as it once did ;-) Next time I'll confirm before I post.

You're welcome. Happens to us all. I had a poor memory when I was young, and I think as I got older, it got worse...but I can't remember. Now at 60, I have too many 'senior moments'.
