On the back panel of the 234s/234xs, there are markings to help you connect the source
devices and amplifiers to your crossover.
To operate the 234s in stereo 3-way application, follow the top row of markings horizontally
along the length of the 234s. For stereo 2-way operation of the 234s, use the second row
of markings above the connectors. For mono 4-way operation of the 234s, 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.
To operate the 234xs in stereo 3-way application, use the first row of markings below the
connectors. For stereo 2-way operation of the 234xs, use the second row of markings below
the connectors. For mono 4-way operation of the 234s, use the markings directly above
the connectors. The connectors not used in the selected mode are marked “Not Used”. This

• Before connecting anything to the crossover, make sure it is not connected to any power
source.
• Be sure that the source device (equalizer, compressor, mixing console, etc.) for the
234s/234xs or 223s/223xs 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 ampli-
fiers to the appropriate outputs of the 234s/234xs or 223s/223xs.
