Using a subwoofer: If you plan to use a subwoofer with your CX monitors, you will need to filter out low frequency sounds so that only the subwoofer plays low-frequency sounds (the CX monitors will only play midrange and high-frequency sounds, in this scenario). This needs to be done so that the subwoofer and CX monitors do not both play the same low-frequency sounds, causing a greatly exaggerated bass response within your studio. The CX line of monitors address all three of these
