50 - 200hz? whats this

[jonnyquiksilver]

on my amp for my sub it has to screws to adjust bass etc, level obviously makes it louder but what does the dial that has 50hz 200hz do?

it's the frequency range.

cba to explain how it works on an amp, or how to gain benefits from it - google will though

[jonnyquiksilver]

ok well the amp is low power so i have it set to highest power, where should i put the hz :P

[Ashleyp]

I think it's time you did some reading...

the gain isnt a power control
and the freq isn't defined as having a "best" place - it depends on various factors.
if you have an LPF turn it on.
if you have bass boost, turn it off.

research the 4 above points and you'll have some knowledge on how car audio works.

set it so it complements the other speakers without sounding boomy. Then highest power does not mean better, you want good sound quality, not turning your car into a giant fart box.

[chinkostu]

its a low pass filter. set it to cut just above where the bass is, so you balance the sound out without too much mid range coming through

[Frankay]

As above either a filter or it will boost the given frequency range. But i doubt very much you will be hearing 50Hz

[Grant187]

High power and low power doesnt mean what you think it does. Its all about the hz. the lower the hz the lower and deeper the bass hits. Musical instrumants can only go as low as 18hz while music like bassline and dubstep made on a synthesizer can go as low as human hearing can handle. I find that 18hz is a nice benchmark as I dont listen to those types of music

Set it to low pass freequencey and move it up to about 50-100hz this will give you a nice amount of bass but not too much noise like voices etc coming through the sub. Although if the lowest your amp can go is 50hz you should just set fire to it now and be done with it

(wondering where you got your figures from)

1. depends on the instrument :/
2. synths are not designed to go as low as the hearing can perceive. A synth can produce a 0.0000000001 hertz frequency if you want it to.
3.most music doesn't go under 35, exception made of dubstep but then you feel vibrations more than you actually hear them.

amps serve their purpose: amplification. Plug your amp on a tweeter for instance and you won't get any bass. Most amps will amplify 1 Hz signals, try it and watch your speaker move from low to high excursion.. Download the oscillator test for winamp and try it on your computer.

Err no. a tube amp rating at 2 x 10 watts will give warmer sound than any car stereo.

Set it to low pass freequencey and move it up to about 50-100hz this will give you a nice amount of bass but not too much noise like voices etc coming through the sub

between 50 to 100 is such a large ballpark figure that doesn't mean anything. Voices are situated around 5Khz FYI.

the lowest any instrument can go is 18hz, Sorry that I cant list them all individualy for you

I never said synths were designed for it I said they could go as low as your human hearing

Well I dont listen to dubstep I listen to Hip-Hop through an mtx monoblock that has no settable freequencey its 18-50hz and i know im getting alot of hits lower than 35

Well as said before MTX Monoblock freequencey 18hz-50hz so plugging it on a tweeter wouldnt give me a very good effect like your 100-22000hz amp lol

Err no. a tube amp rating at 2 x 10 watts will give warmer sound than any car stereo.

thats because an amp has a better powersuply inside its like putting a monoblock againsed a 4channel amp.

i ment his lpf then put it on 50 and turn the hz up too see what you like, but higher than 100 is weak. & now im deffinetly sure your amps on 22,000hz why the fuck would you want your amp to go that high, for a fucking sub you want bass you dont want the hole fucking track to be coming out of a sub that will only do about 300hz anyway if its decent. Your just a fool man

he was on about tube amps, which due to the nature of their design sound louder than what they are, hence people coining "tube watts"



as for the whole 1hz test, it works. 1hz is one movement in and out per second (iirc??), so you can physically see the speaker move. if i go plug my bass in and use the octaver to go down 2 octaves, it shakes the house. nothing to do with the lpf, which is what we are on about here. it needs to be set individually for the system, if your lpf can go below 50hz, fine, its great if you're splitting the signal between different amps to drive say, a larger sub for pure bass and a slightly smaller one for some clarity to it. my bass amp can cut as low as 30hz out if i wanted to, and its no tonka toy jobby.


hz is a measurement of frequency too. if you cut <20hz out of most songs you'd barely notice by ear, as we can't really hear below 20hz ;)

[Grant187]

yeahh but when your amp is set to say 50hz lowest and you do a bass test thats set to 10hz it wont be able to move as slow as 10hz it will do somthing but it wont be 10hz try it

And yet the closemindedness of people reading only what they wana read amazses me. Anyone would of thought that I said 10hz on a sub was impossible. Now try it with this you pikey

lol, this alone speaks volumes (please excuse the terrible pun). Setting a filter at 50 hertz doesn't mean it cuts out everything below it. Please stop trying to lecture people on a subject they know far better than you. As a matter of fact you don't seem to understand jack shit about sound physics, so puh-lease go expose your science elsewhere.

correctamundo, one hertz is one period.

An yet somehow youve done it again. When did I say it stops it from playing anything under 50hz ? see i never said this shit you just kinda cooked it up. So now its come down to you inventing things I say to try an put your point accross. Smart guy!

All im saying is that an amp on 50hz minimum wont provide the same output on 10hz an amp that sets to 10hz will be able to provide. Somehow youve turnd that into a 50hz amp doesnt do anything.

[Manu]

yes, here mate:

no, it just won't move, or will burn up.

most likely the second
