Introduction
Welcome to the Arc Audio family of performance signal processors. A blend of Arc Audio's
lengthy experience in performance car audio design combined with our highly skilled
engineering staff. You are now the proud owner of the
IDX
or
XEQ
. A unique combination
of the highest quality analog components and precision engineering. Whether you are a
competitor or simply enjoy faithfully reproduced music, you will definitely appreciate how
these products make your system sound. These components aren't the easiest to
understand and use. It requires a good understanding of audio and the terms and
language used to describe it. You don't have to be a genius but a bit of experience and
common sense will go a long way. This manual is written in 2 parts
IDX
and
XEQ
. Each of
these units can be used separately or together to become the Control Center. Before you
begin read this manual cover to cover (does anyone ever really read the manual?).
Carefully design your system and decide on your basic crossover points. This will give you
a good starting point and a reference to return to when you begin final tuning. If at any
point you begin to feel overwhelmed, return to your local Arc Audio dealer and let the
trained professionals install or tune it for you.

Advanced Design Features
The
IDX
is designed to take full advantage the front listening positions by
making it easier to make adjustment without constantly jumping in and
out of the car. Clearly this method does not require the sound memory
typically needed to tune a system. You hear any change you make while
your hand is still on the control. If it works you leave it. If it doesn't you
can change it back immediately. This reduces the time needed to "Get
into the Ballpark" and get down to some serious fine-tuning.
