Wiim Ultra High Pass Filter does not work when using 3rd party sub.

[JalanJalan]

Hey,

I've had a Wiim Pro for a year or so and bought a Wiim Ultra, Wiim Mini, two Wiim Sounds and a Wiim Sub Pro during the holiday sales. I'm generally very happy with everything and even talked a friend into a Wiim Amp Ultra, so I'm a fan.

I also purchased an SVS 3000 Micro to compare to the Wiim Sub Pro. I noticed the bass was not as tight as it should be when using the SVS. I ran some subwoofer frequency sweeps and found my mains (Zu Soul Supremes) were still being sent the full frequecy range, even with the crossover set to 110 Hz. The "Main Speakers Output Bass" setting is disabled.

I manually created a high pass filter in the Parametric EQ for the short term but I'm hoping there is a solution to the High Pass Filter not working when using a 3rd party sub.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks very much,

JJ

Nobody else has reported this so it isn't a general issue. Raise a ticket by sending feedback via the WiiM Home App

Hi,
I agree with @slartibartfast's suggestion.
Also If you haven't tried it yet, unplug your device's power cable, wait a moment, then plug it back in.

Also, how did you check?

After turning off the subwoofer's power, play a track containing deep bass. Then, change the crossover from 30Hz to 250Hz in the WiiM app's subwoofer settings screen. You should notice a difference immediately.

As above, I’ve never experienced this whilst using my B&K sub.. raise a ticket.
