24dB/Octave Active Stereo Crossover
The Front Panel:
1,12 - INPUT:
This control adjusts the level of the input sig-
nal to accommodate a wide variety of sources. The Input
control should be set so the Peak LED (#2,#13) flashes occa-
sionally during strong peak-level signals. The control func-
tions as follows:
Stereo Mode:
#1 controls the input level for Channel 1 and
#12 controls the input level for Channel 2.
Mono Mode:
The input signal level is controlled only by #1.
2,13 - PEAK LED:
This LED lights when the input signal level
is within 5dB of the clipping point.
3,14 - LOW CUT:
This switch, when depressed, reduces the
amplitude of the frequencies below 40Hz at a rate of
6dB/octave to eliminate subsonic rumble. The effect of this
switch is represented graphically on page 5.
4,15 - HIGH CUT:
This switch, when depressed, reduces the
amplitude of the frequencies above 15kHz to reduce hiss
and other signal abnormalities. The effect of this switch is
represented graphically on page 5.
5,16 - LOW OUT:
This control sets the output level of the
low frequencies. In the Mono mode, the low frequecny out-
put level is controlled only by #5.
6,17 - FREQUENCY:
This control is used to set the desired
crossover frequency between 50Hz and 1kHz or 500Hz and
10kHz depending on the position of the X1/X10 switch
(#7,#18).The control functions as follows:
Stereo Mode:
#6 is used to set the crossover point between
the low- and mid-frequencies for channel 1 and #17 is used
to set the crossover point between the low- and mid-frequen-
cies for channel 2.
Mono Mode:
#6 sets the crossover point between the low-
and mid-frequencies and #17 sets the crossover point
between the mid- and high-frequencies.
7,18 - X1/X10:
This switch determines the range of the
Frequency controls (#6,#17). When this switch is depressed,
the crossover frequency may be varied between 500Hz and
10kHz. Otherwise the crossover frequency may be varied
between 50Hz and 1kHz. The effect of this switch is repre-
sented graphically on page 5.
8,19 - HIGH OUT/MID OUT: Stereo mode:
#8 is used to
control the high frequency output level for Channel 1and
#19 is used to control the high frequency output level for
Channel 2.
Mono mode:
#8 controls the middle frequency output level
and #19 controls the high frequency output level.
9,20 - CD HORN EQ:
This switch is used to add 12dB boost
to the upper frequencies to compensate for Constant-
Directivity horns. The effect of this switch is represented
graphically on page 6.
10,11 - STEREO/MONO LEDS, SWITCH:
This switch is used
to set the crossover in the two-way stereo mode (switch out)
or three-way mono mode (switch depressed). The upper LED
indicates the Stereo mode and the lower LED indicates the
Mono mode.
•In the Stereo mode, the crossover functions as a two-
channel, two-way unit. In this mode, the function of
each control is annotated in black above the affected
control.
•In the Mono mode, the crossover functions as a sin-
gle-channel, three-way unit. In this mode, the func-
tion of each control is annotated in the grey accent
box located below the affected control. The controls
labeled #12 through #16 are not used in this mode.
The LEDs are illuminated in accordance with the mode
selected. (Refer to the section entitled “For Tri-Amping” on
page 11 for additional information.)
21 - POWER LED:
This LED is illuminated whenever power
is applied to the crossover.
NOTE: The power switch is located on the rear of
the unit.
