High Pass = all frequencies above the selected will go to the speaker

Low Pass = all frequencies below the selected will go to the speaker


Unless you've got some really good speakers, you don't want anything below 75 Hz going to your main speakers. Similarly with subs, you don't want anything above 100 Hz coming through them. (generally speaking)

You won't need both the hp and lp set, the switch can only select one at a time (unless you also have the HP+LP switch). You will never want both switched on unless it is a special case.
