Each Output channel provides fine control (in 5 degree steps) of the signal's phase. The effect of this

control is summed with that of the 0/180 degrees Output Polarity (

.) function described a little

further on. In this way it is possible to adjust the phase of each individual output through a full 360 degrees.

When you have completed adjustments for Output 1, press NEXT.
Now you are presented with the parameters for the High-Pass Filter (HPF) of Output 1 (OP1). Adjust the
settings in the same way as described for the LPF. Note that there is no Phase adjustment for the HPF.

Pressing the NEXT key will step through each of the Output Channels, enabling adjustment of the LPF and
HPF for each one. When you have completed all the settings, press ESC to quit this mode.

Which filter settings you should choose will depend largely on the speakers you are using. Since it is

vital to set-up crossover points carefully to maximise speaker power handling and avoid damaging your
speakers, this is usually best left to a professional car audio installer.

Up to 5 band full parametric equalization is provided on each of the

output channels (the exact number of bands will depend on the chosen filter characteristics in the Crossover
section). Frequency, Gain, Bandwidth (Q) and EQ Type can be set independently for each band.

You are presented with the parameters for the first of the 5 EQ bands on Output 1 (OP1) - see Fig.4. Use the
arrow keys to select each parameter:
