If neither are provided you can use the tables below. For example, in the image above we can see that the tweeter has a usable frequency range of 3.5kiloHertz (kHz) and above. Sometimes this is clearly stated as the recommended cutoff while other times you’ll have to base it off of a speaker’s frequency response information. Manufacturers often include specifications that will tell you the cutoff frequency to use. It can be confusing at first but once you get a bit of experience with speakers it becomes a little bit easier thank goodness! In the sections below I’ll simplify the HPF frequency you should use for each case as well as provide some notes to help explain why it matters. What should I set my high pass filter to? Bass frequencies require a large speaker cone to produce that range of sound which isn’t possible with the tiny cone or dome they have. It causes distortion and can even damage them permanently if driven hard enough. They can’t handle the frequency range of some musical content like bass notes. Similar can be said for many types of midrange speakers as well. When it comes to tweeters, it’s especially critical to prevent them from being driven with low bass frequencies.
