A crossover in live sound is essentially splitting an audio output into different frequency ranges to feed different types of speakers. Usually, there are the low frequencies (~50-80hz and below) and then the main PA which is above that. Humans can hear from about 20hz (really low) to 20 kHz(really high).

To set a crossover, you first need to find or install a loudspeaker management system or a standalone crossover unit to your sound system. In the case of some advanced loudspeaker management systems, you can simply put a reference mic in the room and have it set itself, other simpler machines must be adjusted by hand. These units vary in operation, so refer to the manual.
