speaker connected to channels 3 / 4.

The low pass filter  is 
mostly used for sub-
woofers. It will allow low 
frequencies only and 
blocks higher frequen-
cies. A typical setting is 
60 – 70 Hz.

Set the push button to

 HPF / LPF 

button to 

LPF (button IN)

 to activate the filter.

When the S4 is used for bridging a stereo speaker 
pair set use only the 

HPF

 filter. Set the push button 

to 

ON 

and the

 HPF / LPF 

button to 

HPF (button 

OUT)

 to activate the filter, or 

OFF

 if you want to 

run the amplifier in full range mode without limiting 
the frequency range.
Adjust with the 

HPF control

 after your own taste, 

a normal setting is 50-70 Hz.
