A superb overview. Straight to the point and everything shown live. Subscribed.
Made that very easy to understand what I was looking at. Thanks so much!
This is the most usefull video that I've seen about x-over. thumbs up man
I only have the 2/3 way stereo mono version and it did me very well for over 3 years. Very reliable
“Woaaaahhhh that loop is fresh!”

I would not have noticed if you hadn’t brought i up three or four times HA!
Thx man your vid helped me out a lot. I have a Behringer Eq and Crossover with my Mixer, two 8" 2 way and a 10" Sub. Instruction Manuel's were rubbish. You was a big help. Thx again
Thanks. Buying one of these based on your review.
Just like Candy. Nice loop. Great vid.
Excellent video, well explained in simple common-sense language.
Hey man, I just want to say thank you 🙏🏾. I have 2 18” subs and 4 15” loud speakers. Thanks to you, my shit is banging 💯Shouts out from Las Vegas
How did you get into work for your 218? Sublevel out on mine is still sending High's, mids and vocals. I got this crossover so I can send sub signals to my dual 18 cabinet
Thanks. I had to come back here to double check my setup on my crossover. I have this same crossover. Thanks for the info.
Perfect video mate 👌 just what I needed to hear ...legend
You are good teacher
That's a good video 👍
Thanks man, setting up a bi-(possibly tri)-amp bass guitar rig using this x over. Beautifully explained, much appreciated.
Hi. Did you use it the end with bass gutar rig? How do you like it? Is this latency free analog crossover, did you hear any delay in comarison with the guitar going streight in to the bass amp and cab?
Sory on my bad English.
This has helped greatly
Perfect explanation, made simple! setting up the system for Dummies! (like me!) Awesome dude
Thanks! Great and simple explained!
Great teacher; keep it up.
Very well explained and appreciated!
Thank you for this it is so helpfu
Thx man, perfect explanation...have a gooder!
Question, I'm using a 31-band eq. Does the chain of connection go from mixer/crossover/eq/amp/speakers, or is it mixer/eq/crossover/amp/speaker??
Mixer/eq/crossover/amp. Otherwise you would need and equaliser with multiple inputs or two equalisers as the signal is split.
@@justifiedsoul69 Thank you!
Really helpful, thank you 🤘👌🏻🇸🇪
Great video ! Reading the manual is so confusing. Thanks 👍
great understanding i have the behringer cx2310 very nice great job champ
Love to you sir. Thanks for the huge time save. Great video!
Excellent video! 🙌🏼🙏🏼🥳
What if you connect a behringer equalizer FBQ6200HD to the crossover
Excellent video thank you for the tutorial help me out a lot
Ho my god iam from India....thanks for your information......very very helpful your video
I GOT HE SAME CX3400 AND THE FURMAN M8X2 .....I DON'T HAVE ANY USE FOR THEM NOW, THOUGH. YOUR SHIT SOUND GOOD, THOUGH. THANK YOU FOR THE LITTLE DEMONSTRATION.
If using 2 way stereo.low output and high.what would be the starting frequency the high output.thank you
Thanks a lot!!
This is excellent stuff
thanks from france !
Hi! I know 5 yrs ago, but if you get this, can I ask you a question. This is for home audio and not car, which a lot of these things are made for. I need a crossover to a new Open Baffle, 2 speaker driver( 2 each side ) My concern is the top and mid end is in a coaxial driver ( the other is the low bass driver ) so 2 way but in fact its 3 way if you take into account the coaxial handles 2 frequencies. Question would the CX3400 ( now version 2 ) be able to handle the crossover settings ? many thanks.
Thank you this is very helpful
Very helpful thank you!
how would you hook up the xover just on a sub amp for hometheater..?..im using 2 21 inch subs with a old QSC amp..
I have inherited some equipment... I've never used a crossover before. I have two unpowered combo cabs peavy 115tls horn/Tweeter not sure which, with a 15 in speaker. one giant 18-inch subwoofer cab by celestion, GR series. I also got it crate mixer board but I am hoping to use my Mackie 1202 as the other one is overkill I think. A PM 1400 Carver Poweramp, and a Carver PM 15 power amp. trying to figure out the best way to hook this up, your setup is quite different but thought you might have some advice. also a note, my 1202 mixer only has quarter-inch outputs. do I need to run some kind of adapter?
Thanks for this video!!! Good info break down!!!
Great video thanks brother GB....
So with the phase inversion and delay setting, you could potentially eliminate any phase difference between the woofers and subs?
great video
I have Version 2. What has been improved?
Excellent man thankyou
life saver
I like BEHRINGER CROSSOVER couse still original.
thanks bro
Does this apply to passive speakers need help setting up
Thanks a lot for your info... very helpfull. Hatur nuhun pisan 👍
Nice explanations bro thanks for ur explanations good
There is a frequency selection knob for the low in stereo.... Is there one for the high end frequency?
So when you are using it in 2-way mode the highs and mids are sent to the top cabs and the lows are sent to the subs?
Yes
Cool - super helpful.
Salut , interesant videoclip.
Can this make passive speakers sound better? I mean actually give them some treble?
Could you explain where do each cord go do they go directly into speakers or amp I'm confused
Great vid. whats the mono 4 way used for?
If you're running a 4 way sound system for example: sub bass, kick bass, mid bass and tweeters.
@@HarvIdds ok give thanks
What about those other buttons on the crossover
would the input control work as a volume control if I don't use a preamp?
Thank you!!!
i own this behringer cx3400 after working one year now giving problem, low output gain on one channel any solution
will be greatly appreciated
How do u connect from mixer to eq to crossover to power amp?
You already said it! From mixer, it go to Equalizer, then to crossover, then finally to power amplifier!
Mine, I did four routes. From Mixer out to Sonic Maximizer in, then out to Equalizer in, then out to crossover in, finally out to Power Amplifier input!
Big help bro...i hv the step down model but wasnt sure if i had things setup write.
Thank you very for the video buh u don't talk about the CD HORN
Why Behringer don't include in their manuals the Total Harmonic Distortion(THD) data of their crossovers? I have bought the model CX-2310 and in the user manual I can't find this so important datum.
Hi, I have a pair of full range Peaveys 2-way 15" with a 1.75" tweeter. Do I connect to the high output or low output of the Behringer CX2310?
Can yuo pleas make a vidio on time delay in cx3400
Thank you for this it is so helpful
thex Sir.......
Hello, I set one of these up and basically want to send the highs to my powered tops and then connect a powered sub from my mixer for more control. Can you verify that if I just connect the highs and leave the sub output blank this will cut the lows to my speakers. Another reason I am doing this is my sub only has rca jacks.... May be stupid question and yes I'm a newb, thanks for any info
Yes, the unit will do that. It will essentially ignore a sub output if there's nothing plugged into that output. Ah yes, rca on subs are tricky.
XXVelocityXX I took a trs 1/4 jack to rca jacks from an aux send on my mixer to my sub... And it seems to work, just started playing with it. Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it!
I'm curious why someone would go from a DBX Driverack to a Behringer Crossover.
Also wondering. In my four way I'm using the cx3400 in 2-way stereo to split subs (summed) from the remainder, which then goes to a Driverack PA2. The 25 Hz high-pass was a trigger, dbx xover has 40 Hz, too high for my subs.
I have both, behringer 3 way cross over with mono sub out. I use this in my smaller rig with active speakers.
I also have a dbx pa2 drive rack compmete with wireless network, in my big rack thats 10,000 watts. That rack uses a rack mount pc as well, its an absolute monster.
I can say between the 2 i can get them to sound very close. However the pa2 significantly more features and being able to tune a room walking around on an ipad is a game changer.
The behringer 3 way i use with a 31 band eq and thats pretty much it.
1 rack weighs maybe 50lbs while the other weighs over 300 lbs.
Did you feel a deep bass using x pro? I want to buy one and I'm trying to decide between that and the DBX PA2
I have one ..what an awesome piece of equipment I run my subs in mine coming from my Beringer vmx 1000 mixer using the subwoofer output on the vmx 1000 mixer .I never use my limiter and it has never clipped ...also using the sum button on the rear you add the benefit of using both Chanel's in the 4 way mono mode.. I am a bass head junkee/addict so that feature doubles the addiction ha ha lol.... caution.. warning...clicking the crossover frequencies with the volume turned up will result in a very loud pop.. please set your preferred mode of use with volume turned completely down... front adjustments no problem but activating modes from the rear with volume up could damage unit speakers and even your amp.me not knowing this before hand switched from 2/3 way to 4 way the pop was so loud that it clipped all 6 of my amps off ....so be careful.. glad I brought it a the vmx 1000 Beringer mixer ....3 years now not a problem with either thank you UA-cam thank you Behringer..thank you sir for the best explanation thus far on this awesome crossover.
How did you get the sublevel out to work? I've got two 18in Peavy subs in a box . It's the only reason I got this crossover was to use the sub output. But I'm still getting highs, mids, and vocals.
Hi, can i use it with only one subwoofer?, which side of Low channel is the best way to get the output , left or right? Thanks
I have a powered sub-woofer. Can the two LOW outputs be used with a y-cord to go to the single sub?
Hi there,
Just wondering if I could pick your brains, as I’ve purchased one these and seem to have more volume on the one size than the other?
I’ve got two power amps, one for the tops and one for the bass bins...
Thanks
Thanks i like it
Thanks a lot =)
Can you use it for home studio subs?
Hello really nice review! Do you know the difference between your CX3400 and the CX2310? I want to buy one but only for private parties and I dont need any special features.Would you still recommend the XC3400 more than the CX2310?
Thanks just got one of these and your video is extremely helpful. Question,, and appreciate any info you can provide, if I did the three way set up would I plug the high and mid into my powered speaker? I notice they have two inputs. If so is there any advantage to doing that?
Hi elk, powered speakers are internally crossed over, so you wouldn't necessarily send two inputs to a powered speaker from a unit like this in hopes to divide the frequency between the tweeter and woofer. That other speaker input is probably for another audio device like a guitar or microphone. You can; however, adjust your output frequency to your powered speakers using this device, which is nice since it will be within your reach using a nearby rackmount case.
@@evanjohnmo Hi, I'm thinking about buying a more simpler Behringer CX2310 how do I connect my 2-way 15" speakers, do connect to the high outputs or low outputs?. Nice review by the way.
I seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding with pa crossover modules. Why do they make the crossover knobs L/R as appose to Low/High? It doesn't make sense to me that I have to control L/R crossover points with 2 knobs. Is there a 2 way module where I only need to control one knob for the crossover point for the whole setup?
You may already have figured this out, but the only way to operate with just one knob is if you are running in Mono. I'm not sure if you would want a 2 way mono system in fairness. Mono for subs is fine but for the tops/mid stereo is preferable unless you have both speakers in different locations (a house party with one speaker in one room and one in another). Hope that helps.
"I have my left input here and I have my right input here". Are you sure?
I would like to build handcrafted audio speakers. As I understand it this tool is useful for replacing the passive crossover usually found inside the speaker cabinet. Is it possible to use this tool to adjust each frequency respectively for high - medium - low? Thanks
It is possible but then you have to buy a seperate Amplifyer for each speaker driver.
Good vision
How can this setup be achieved with two Qsc gx5 amps one for running the subwoofers separately and one for running the speakers separately?
Just run the output of whatever frequency to the corresponding amp mate😊
we can use avr reciever 5.1 to connect with this crossover bro ?
Does all that applies to the CX2310 as well ?
Yes it does.
hows it holding up now? (heard bad things about durability of behringer)
What is value of xover freq kn this crossover x1 or x10
Please give answer
I feel like it didn’t increase or help my amps head room. I feel like I still have to crank my amp up all the way in order to be able to power my woofers. Plugged it in exactly the same as you did everything exactly the same but not getting the same result. Still have my amp abs the Xpro at like +4/+6 dB Any ideas or help?
Generally this device is not meant for gain increase. You can get it to crank the output a little bit, but 90% of your volume should be provided by your amps. I would need to know more about the amplifiers and subwoofers you are using in order to properly give information on setup. Crossovers like these are really only meant to separate frequencies from your audio inputs.
Hi, i use two subwoofers. Can i use 3 way mode? High, mid is not connected, only low ( bass ). And my second question, i must use stereo jack for my amplifier, or maybe only mono jack? Thx for help
It depends if your amp is stereo or mono. My amp is stereo, so two mono out from low out to each amp channel, then into the subs.
Does it apply a low cut to the mains?
Sir please mujhe is crossover ka settings hindi mai batavo
Wish I saw this before I took my system apart and go powered.
Hi, Mono 4 way has input not used, that means no sounds to cross over, how does it work?
Only one input is used, because its mono you only put the one mono input in then cross it over
nice subbed
Thanks for you'r video man! sub+like
Wondering if you can also help me with one guestion.
When one is using passive sub and loudspeakers connected to same channel on amp. (channel1 > sub > sub topspeaker) Is it still possible to use crossover like this? Or will adding hi/mid also ad it to my sub?
