Can wiim do the following? High and low passing

[alaios]

So pick the most advanced wiim device and then help me understand if the below are possible.

Can i high pass my main speakers and relieve them from having to try to go too low?
Then can I high pass (yes high pass) my sub (sub out) as these are smallish and do not got really below 40Hz. I would like also to relieve them of having to try to play 30 or 20Hz.

Are such things possible with wiim ? If yes where I can read before buying the guides/tutorials

Regards,
Alex

Welcome.

Can i high pass my main speakers and relieve them from having to try to go too low?

Yes.

Then can I high pass (yes high pass) my sub (sub out

No.

However, I reckon you could apply EQ (lots of -ve gain) to the very low frequencies to essentially (somewhat) prevent them for being played.

Can you Show me a Guide on how i can apply both of your suggestions?

You can search for "eq" and "subwoofer" in the FAQ, available in the WiiM Home App "More" tab or here: https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support/solutions

For example this article: "Subwoofer Advanced Options: Subwoofer Bypass Mode & Main Speakers Output Bass"

Is your sub 6.5" or smaller?

Normally you don't need a high pass on a sub, but this is an example of using PEQ.


Sorry, I just made it up as I went along. Please adjust by yourself.

Which sub do you have? It am sure it does not need a high pass filter on the input. If it can't produce 20-30Hz it won't.

It is 6.5 indeed. So so I understand it right that wiim handles the eq for the Mains and the subs separately?

 

[alaios]

When measured Shows Lot of distortion. I want to high pass it

No. As you can read from the FAQ, it handles the crossover frequency.

The PEQ allow you to define the filter for different frequencies and if that is below the crossover, it works for the sub.

but once PEQ is set it applies to the main speakers and the subwoofer?

Yes and no. It depends on what frequency that is filtered and where the crossover it set.

 

[alaios]

Yes and no. It depends on what frequency that is filtered and where the crossover it set.

Main speakers should be high passed above 80Hz.

Crossover is around 80Hz.

Sub should be high passed above 40Hz.
Can I do the above?

Thanks a lot. So what it does
1. Applies the PEQ to all speakers, mains and sub.
2. Feeds the subs with all frequencies be

IF I understand this right then there is no way to high pass my main speakers really.
or do you mean that
1. I can put a crossover frequency for the sub that does also a high pass for main speakers
2. The sub gets all frequencies below the cutoff frequency and the PEQ where you did this example above

A crossover mean that the sub get all frequency below it and the main speakers all above it. All other filters (high/low pass) can be done with the GEQ/PEQ.

No. Your main speakers will be high pass filtered.

If you enter any PEQ filter at say 30 Hz, then it will - naturally - only affect the subwoofer, because the main speakers are high pass filtered at e.g. 80 Hz.

But still, there are no separate PEQ filters for mains and sub. There is one set of 10 PEQ filters. You decide if you place them all below 80 Hz or all above 80 Hz or whatever. You are 100% free to use them as you like.

It is hard to understand as I guess there is an algorithm running. If I want to high pass main speakers lets say at 80Hz
how I can still high pass the subwoofer? I understand that there is a single PEQ only

Sorry I don't understand why you want that. Then there will be no sound.

I think you're misunderstanding something. Please read the FAQs!

There are 10 PEQ settings.

He wants the sub to work between 40Hz and 80Hz and the main speakers to work at 80Hz and above. So a crossover at 80Hz and a High Pass PEQ filter at 40Hz if that is possible.

And post #2 already explained that this is not possible.

However, a high shelf filter or even a low frequency peak filter will achieve basically the same result.

It's all been explained before.
