Post subject:  Amps - Low-Cut Filters

I have two Low Frequency jumpers on the back of my amp.  

Low Cut Filter on/off
Low Cut 50Hz/30Hz

I find I get the best sound with LCF off and LC30Hz.  Am I endangering my speakers?  My amp is an EP2500 (behringer).  The manual says the LC50Hz is supposed to give a fuller sound but I find it sounds empty and LCF on is supposed to protect against frequencies under 5Hz.  My speakers are Cerwin Vega PSX-153 3 ways.  I also use Behringer B1520 Pros as a backup set of mains.

Actually if you have the low cut filter switched off, the 30/50 switch shouldn't be doing anything.

That's probably the case.  What's optimal?  Do I risk the speakers by having the low-cut filter turned off?

Unless you are having problem with low frequency rumble, first switch the mics low frequency switch on on the mic channels.  If the mixer don't have that, then yes I would probably run the low cut filter on at minimum30 hz but probably 50 & compensate the music channel eq a bit.

Thanks Lonnie.  For clarification, unless I'm hearing something out of the ordinary (rumble), having the Low Cut off isn't damaging to the speakers ... musically?  I do have the mic channels low cut on.  Of course your answer will be filtered for subjectivity ...  :)
