Congratulations on your purchase of the dbx 223/223XL or 234/234XL
crossover. We are confident you will find this crossover to be the finest
product of its kind in this price range. We have taken care to include all of
the features you need to make your system sound its best. Some of the
features common to both the 234/234XL and the 223/223XL crossovers
are:

• back panel switches for selecting the operating mode of the

crossover.

• back panel switches indicating the selected range of crossover fre-

quencies. Both of these features have LED indicators on the front
panel so you can see at a glance which mode the unit is in.

• low frequency summed output designed specifically for mono sub-

woofer applications.

• phase invert switches on all outputs.
• individual level controls on every output.

We are sure you will agree that these crossovers are built to provide
extremely high quality frequency division for all applications.
