About the Crossover
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits
the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled
independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the
frequencies for which they have been optimally designed.
The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass
filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the
highs or lows).
Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction
characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a
passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this
point, please consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

•
HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the
higher frequencies to pass.
•
LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the
lower frequencies to pass.
• Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one
octave.
• The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.
•
Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.
• Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency,
as it may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency
content.
• Adjustment should be made according to the recommended
crossover frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the
recommended crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to
a frequency range outside that recommended may cause damage
to the speakers.
For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers,
refer to the respective Owner’s Manual.
We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers
caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value.
1. In the Setup screen, touch [X-Over].

3. Adjust the crossover to your preference.
Selecting the Cut-Off Frequency
Touch
or
of “Frequency,” and then select the cut-off frequency.
(20 / 25 / 31.5 / 40 / 50 / 63 / 80 (Initial setting) / 100 / 125 / 160 /
200)
Adjusting the Slope
Touch
or
of “Slope,” and then adjust the HPF or LPF slope.
(0 (Initial setting) / 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 dB/oct.)
Adjusting the Level
Touch
or
of “Level,” and then adjust the HPF or LPF level.
(-12 to 0 dB (Initial setting: 0))
4. Repeat steps 1 to 2 to make adjustment to the other
channels.
5. To store the adjusted setting value, touch and hold [Preset 1],
[Preset 2], or [Preset 3] for at least 2 seconds.
• Touch [Flat] to initialise all values.
• If the Subwoofer setting is “Off,” the Subwoofer setting cannot be
edited.
• While adjusting the X-OVER you should consider the frequency
response of the connected speakers.
Calling the X-OVER adjusted value
Calling the pre-set X-OVER adjusted value.
Touch [Preset 1], [Preset 2], or [Preset 3] on the X-OVER
screen.
The setting stored in the Preset will be recalled.
