Select “TRx3903 External” using the Up/Down buttons

.
This will load optimized settings for your TRC-A system to drive the TRx3903 speakers.
No further adjustment is required, however you may choose to make adjustments to the other settings below.
Press the RIGHT or LEFT buttons to access the screens for each setting.
SENSITIVITY:
1.0v, 1.2v, 1.4v, 2.0v
(Vrms)
Sets the signal level required at the INPUT XLR jack to reach maximum volume. The factory setting is 1.4v.
A lower setting allows a small signal at the INPUT to produce maximum volume from the TRC-A system. A higher setting requires
a large input signal.
For example, if your mixer is not putting out enough level, change this setting to 1.2v or 1.0v. If your mixer puts out a hot signal, set
this to 2.0v.

X-OVER:
)
NOTE:
When using the speaker presets such as “TRx3903 External”, crossover settings are automatically set and this screen is bypassed.
When connecting TRx3903’s, the manual crossover frequency setting is not recommended.
The X-OVER setting is only available when using the “
Sub Only
” or “
Variable X-Over
” preset, used when connecting different
speakers to the TRx3010A or TRx3018A. You can refer to the TRx3010A/TRx3018A manual for more information.
POLARITY:
NORMAL or REVERSE
The standard setting is NORMAL. If low freqencies are lacking or sound unusual, try the REVERSE setting.
When subwoofers are placed at multiple locations in a room, or if the TRx3903 speakers are positioned far away from the subwoofer,
low frequencies can be negatively affected by phase cancellations. Most problems can be corrected with the REVERSE setting.
(
CONTOUR EQ:
)
ONLY active for the TRx3903 presets
.
EQ contours:
Live 1, LIve 2, DJ/Playback1, DJ/Playback2
The Contour EQ setting offers four different equalization
presets specifically designed for use with TRC systems. The
preset names are based on the type of material to be played,
select which one sounds best for your music. The factory flat
setting is “
Live 1
”.
ENHANCE BASS:
OFF, ON
The Enhance Bass feature boosts the 35-50Hz range and
extends the low frequency reponse by 15Hz without overload
-
ing the system. The effect will be reduced at very high volumes
to protect the speakers, but will still deepen the bass response.
EXT. VOLUME:
+6dB
to
-6dB
(in 1db steps),
-9dB
,
-12dB
,
MUTE
The External Volume setting adjusts the volume of the speakers connected to the SATELLITE SPEAKER jack, leaving the sub
-
woofer level unchanged.
- Increasing the Ext. Volume raises the level coming from the TRx3903’s, which will then be louder than the TRx3018A subwoofer.
- Decreasing the Ext. Volume lowers the level coming from the TRx3903’s, allowing you to hear more of the TRx3018A subwoofer.
You may want to adjust your mixer output level or the Input Sensitivity setting after changing the Ext. Volume setting.
