A. Balanced Input
With these special quick-connect
barrier-block connectors (Figure
2.1), it’s quick and easy to attach
each input cable with just three
screws. Once the cable is at-
tached, the connector can be
quickly unplugged and, if desired,
moved to a different amplifier.
B. Subsonic/Bass Switch
A 4-position sliding switch is pro-
vided for each channel to control
the subsonic/bass filter. This filter
is an 18-dB/octave (3rd order)
Butterworth high-pass filter which
can be selected to attenuate low
frequencies below 50 Hz, 100 Hz or
300 Hz. It can also be switched off
(Flat). A label on the side of each
switch identifies the switch settings.
C. Constant-Directivity
Horn Equalization Jumper
A jumper is provided for each
channel to enable/disable the con-
stant-directivity horn equalization.
The jumper for channel 1 (J1) is
shown in the “OFF” position while
the jumper for channel 2 (J2) is
shown in the “ON” position. The
constant directivity horn equaliza-
tion is a 6-dB/octave shelving net-
work with a 3 dB rise at 3.2 kHz and
a peak boost of 12.5 dB at 24 kHz.
