switches in the out (NORM) position. Pushing a button in (INVERT position) may be used to help 

correct audible phase-related problems. 

SUB OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL 

This control is used to trim the audio output level to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jack on the rear of 

the unit. The subwoofer signal is used to provide extra bass via a mono subwoofer speaker in your 

system.  
This control covers the range of –30dB to +10dB of output gain trim, as indicated on the front panel. 

In most cases you would set it to 0dB. You can use this control to compensate for amplifier gain 

variations or efficiency of your speaker. 

SUBWOOFER FREQUENCY CONTROL 

The SUBWOOFER FREQUENCY control sets the crossover point for signals going to the 

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jack. This control covers the frequency range of  50 Hz to 250 Hz. For this 

function, both of the input channel signals are combined and frequencies below the set frequency will 

be sent to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT. This is in addition to the normal signals that are sent to each 

of the channels other outputs. 

REAR PANEL CONNECTORS 

 

It is easy to interface the unit with a wide variety of equipment. The rear panel has balanced XLR and 

1/4” inputs as well as unbalanced 1/4” outputs. 

XLR INPUT JACKS 

The XLR input connections are balanced and follow the AES standard for wiring: Pin 1 = Ground, Pin 

2 = Hot (+) and Pin 3 = Cold (-). These inputs directly parallel the 1/4” inputs. 

1/4” INPUT JACKS 

The 1/4” input connections are balanced with Tip = Hot (+), Ring = Cold (-), and Sleeve = Ground. 

These inputs directly parallel the XLR inputs. 

1/4” OUTPUT JACKS 

The 1/4” output jacks are unbalanced with Tip = Hot (+) and Sleeve = Ground. They are used for 

sending signals to amplifiers, or other unbalanced equipment.
