H) ARRAY EQ: In order to compensate for the 

summing  of  the  mid  and  low  frequencies,  the 
onboard signal processing of each 

variant 25A

 unit 

provides  high  frequency  boost.  The  signal 
treatment has been designed to provide optimum 
response  for  arrays  of  6  or  more  cabinets,  so 
when employing just two or three units it may be 
appropriate to lower the high frequency level. The 
ARRAY EQ switch can be used to attenuate the 
equalization of the very high frequencies in -3 dB 
steps.

Used for paralleling several 

units, which will share the same input. The output 
can also be used to provide signal for an outboard 
power amplifier.

The 

variant  25A

 is a two way class AB   self
