In Subwoofer Bypass Mode

[TSHRED]

Does the crossover point still apply to the main speakers?

I want to try my sub's built in crossover.

Thanks.

Yes even though the crossover becomes greyed out it does high pass the main speakers.

Thanks, one more question.

If I use the switch at the top and shut the subwoofer management off does it automatically default to full range to the mains?

Yes, if the subwoofer setting is off, WiiM does nothing to the main speakers and sub. Therefore, no sound comes out of the sub, and the mains revert to full range output.

The sub bypass is one of the best feature and you will feel your how your sub really sound. When off, it was loose and boomy. When on, tight and controlled. It also does high pass when enable. If you want double whammy bass you enable both switch. Sub and main both produce bass.

No. It all depends on individual hardware, room, preferences, etc.

There is not and there cannot be a general recommendation to enable Subwoofer Bypass Mode.

The filters built into subwoofers are often flawed.

We will fix this issue in the next app update; please stay tuned!

Maybe give us a high pass option for the mains for even finer tuning?
I kind of like the idea of that.

We already have that don't we. That is exactly what we are talking about.

You mean separate high and low filter?

I not sure if he mean separate setting for high and low much like minidsp. It would even great if included different filter and slope like butterworth, linkwitz and others. Minidsp has so much to tweak for advanced users.

I was responding to the WiiM Team saying that they were going to do away with the hi-pass when the Subwoofer Bypass Mode is activated.

What I would like is an active and adjustable hi-pass filter that I could adjust when the unit is in Subwoofer Bypass Mode.

It can still be done but not convenient. Turn off sub bypass then adjust to your desire then enable. The set frequency is where the high will go. We as user like easy and can be nitpicking on anything.

That didn't say they were going to do away with it, they said they would fix the issue of the crossover being greyed out
