OPERATION

1

POWER INDICATOR

The Power Indicator LED will illuminate to indicate that the unit is

connected to the battery and that the Remote Turn-On terminal is

rec12 volts, thus turning on the crossover.

2

INPUT SELECTOR

This switch is used to select the inputs of the audio signal to the crossover.

In the “FRONT” setting, only the input connected to the “FRONT INPUT”

jacks will be processed. In the “FRONT + REAR” setting, both the inputs

to the “FRONT INPUT” and “REAR INPUT” jacks will be processed.

NOTE:

When set to the “FRONT + REAR” setting, the signal to the “REAR

INPUT” jacks is processed and adjusted by the Subwoofer Level

and Subwoofer Low-Pass Frequency Controls

7

and

bl

. The

“FRONT INPUT” signal is processed by the Midrange Level and

Midrange High-Pass Frequency Controls

OUTPUT MODE SELECTOR

This switch is used to select 2-Way or 3-Way operation of the crossover.

Set the switch to the appropriate position for the type of amplifier/speaker

system with which the crossover is being used.
In the “2-WAY” setting, the output from the crossover will be from the

“SUBWOOFER OUTPUT” and “MIDRANGE OUTPUT” jacks, and will be

adjusted by the Subwoofer and Midrange controls

(the

In the “3-WAY” setting, the output from the crossover will be from the

“SUBWOOFER OUTPUT”, "MIDRANGE OUTPUT” and “HIGH OUTPUT”

jacks and all adjustment controls will be active.

4

SUBWOOFER PHASE SELECTOR

This switch is used to adjust the phase of the “SUBWOOFER OUTPUT”

by 180°. Set the switch to the position that provides the smoothest bass

response with the speaker system being used.

5

SUBWOOFER MODE SELECTOR

This switch is used to select Stereo or Mono subwoofer output. If the

speaker system uses 2 channels of low-frequency amplification and 2

woofers, set the switch to the “STEREO” position. If used with a single

channel of low-frequency amplification, set the switch to the “MONO” position.

6

BASS BOOST SELECTOR

This switch is used to accentuate the bass frequencies by adding 8 dB

of boost to the signal at 45 Hz.

7

SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL

This control is used to adjust the output level from the “SUBWOOFER

OUTPUT” jacks. Set the control to the “MIN” position and slowly adjust

it until the desired level of subwoofer output is achieved for the amplifier/

speaker system being used.
