power amplifiers to be much smaller, yet adequate to handle the demands of
the high frequency content of the program material. Since each element of
the system is driven by its own amplifier, any distortion that occurs is limited
to the frequencies of the overdriving power amplifier. The rest of the signal
remains clear and undistorted.
Also, since lower priced, smaller amplifiers can do the job of the larger and
much more expensive amplifiers needed to drive full-range amped systems,
the cost of a sound system can be significantly reduced (and sound better in
the process). It may also be easier to haul several smaller power amplifiers
around, rather than one big one, making portable systems easier to handle.

NSTALLATION
Install the crossover in a rack using the provided rack screws. Route the AC
power cord away from audio lines and plug into a convenient outlet. Connect
audio lines to the crossover using the appropriate input jacks to channels 1
and 2 (for stereo operation), or to channel 1 only (for mono operation).
Connect the appropriate output jacks for stereo 3-way, mono 4-way operation
(834 only), or stereo 2-way, mono 3-way (835). The rear panel is clearly
marked for proper connection. Follow the top labels for stereo connection or
the bottom labels for mono connection.
All inputs and outputs are balanced. Use XLR type male plugs for inputs and
female plugs for outputs. For balanced operation using 1/4" phone plug con-
nectors, use only tip-ring-sleeve (stereo) jacks. For unbalanced operation
using 1/4" phone plug connectors, use only tip-sleeve (mono) jacks.
FOR BALANCED CONNECTION:
Wire XLR connections as follows:
Pin 2: high
Pin 3: low
Pin 1: ground or common
Wire 1/4" tip-ring-sleeve phone plug connectors as follows:
Tip: high
Ring: low
Sleeve: ground
