On the back panel of the 234/234XL, there are markings to help you con-

nect the source devices and amplifiers to your crossover. To operate the

234/234XL in stereo 3-way operation, follow the top row of markings hori-

zontally along the length of the 234/234XL. For stereo 2-way operation of

the 234/234XL, use the second row of markings directly above the con-

nectors. For mono 4-way operation of the 234/234XL, use the markings

directly below the connectors. The connectors not used in the selected

mode are marked “not used”. This designation applies only to that mode

of operation.

The 223/223XL is marked in a similar way: for stereo 2-way operation use

the markings above the connectors. To operate the 223/223XL in mono 3-

way mode use the markings below the connectors. The connectors which

are not used in the selected mode are marked “not used”. This designa-

tion applies only to that mode of operation.

• Before connecting anything to the crossover, make sure it is not con-

nected to any power source.

• Be sure that the source device (equalizer, compressor, mixing console,

etc.) for the 234/234XL-223/223XL is turned off. Connect the output(s) of

the source device to the inputs of the crossover, following the rear panel

markings carefully.

• Make sure that the amplifiers which will be used to drive your speaker

system are turned off. Using the back panel markings as a guide, use

high quality cables to connect the amplifiers to the appropriate outputs

of the 234/234XL-223/223XL.

Ensure that your 234/234XL-223/223XL crossover conforms to the AC

power specifications in your area, by checking the marked voltage spec

on the rear of the unit. Never plug the incorrect voltage into your
