Default Active EQ and mic placement

If you can't locate the source of the low frequency sound when it's
crossed over low enough, it can't be stereo.


80 Hz or lower, with a steep enough xover and sound can not be
localized.


I will say this .. I have a stereo pair of subs and I crossover at 70 and
700 Hz (triamping, yes). Using 24 dB / oct L-R. It is still possible to
localize sounds coming from the subs, though through what mechanism I'm not
exactly sure. It could be that distortion harmonics actually play a role
here. Or it could be the leading edges of the waveforms. Low frequency
transients, heh.
