CROSSOVER CONTROLS
A crossover is a device that removes unwanted
frequencies from a speaker or amplifier. A tweeter
can easily be destroyed by bass notes if they are
not filtered out. Likewise a subwoofer will not
sound natural if it is playing midrange notes.
A crossover removes these sounds from the
speaker. As you might guess, careful adjustment
in need to ensure that all the speakers are playing
the right sounds and that you are left with no
“holes” or low spots in the frequency response.
CONTROLES DEL CROSSOVER
Un crossover es un dispositivo que elimina las
frecuencias no deseadas de un altavoz o
amplificador. Un tweeter puede ser fácilmente
destruido por notas graves si no se filtran. Del
mismo modo, un subwoofer no sonará natural si
toca notas de rango medio.
Un crossover elimina estos sonidos del altavoz.
Como puede adivinar, es necesario realizar un ajuste
cuidadoso para garantizar que todos los altavoces
reproduzcan los sonidos correctos y que no quede
ningún "agujero" o puntos bajos en la respuesta de
frecuencia.

INTRODUCTION
The DS18/ SXE amplifier for high quality audio
reproduction for the audiophile and the everyday
listener a like. Allowing you the ability to taylor the
sound to best fit the speakers and your listening
preferences ensures solid electrical connections
that resist corrosion. Fully variable crossover.
Aditionally, they may be used in conjuction with
outboard passive or active crossovers, depending
on the complexity required by the system. The
12dB per octave slope offers steep roll-off above
or below the selected frequency.
Protection circuitry against overload, short circuit,
thermal, low voltage, high voltage, and reverse
polarity.
This protecction features are designed to protect
the amplifier from missuse, as well as from
common causes of amplifier failure.
ENTRADA
Sección de entrada
Debido a la amplia gama de configuraciones de salida
de la unidad principal, todos los amplificadores de la
serie DS18 / SXE tienen una sensibilidad de entrada
ajustable de "Ganancia". La ganancia es no un
control de limitación de volumen o potencia como
un acelerador.
Hace que el amplificador sea más sensible a la
entrada del estéreo. Con la ganancia alta, el
amplificador alcanzará la salida máxima con un
ajuste de volumen más bajo en la unidad principal.
Con configuraciones de ganancia más altas, el
amplificador también se vuelve más sensible al ruido
del sistema eléctrico del automóvil. Intente ejecutar
la ganancia en la configuración más baja posible para
su sistema.
No hay un ajuste de ganancia correcto. Debido a que
los altavoces requieren diferentes demandas de
potencia para alcanzar la misma salida, las ganancias
deben usarse con mayor frecuencia para compensar
estas diferencias. Si intenta establecer todas las
ganancias a la mitad, probablemente encontrará que
el sistema no suena muy bien. Usar el buen juicio y
escuchar atentamente a cada altavoz sigue siendo la
mejor manera de sintonizar un sistema.
INPUT
Input Section
Because of the wide range of head unit output
configurations all DS18 / SXE Series amps have an
adjustable input sensitivity of “Gain”, the gain is
not a volume or a power limiting control like
a throttle.
It makes the amp more sensitive to input from the
stereo. With the gain up the amp will reach full
output at a lower volume setting on the deck. At
higher gain settings the amp also becomes more
sensitive to noise from the car’s electrical system.
Try to run the gain at the lowest setting possible
for your system.
There is no correct gain setting. Because speakers
require different power demands to reach the
same output, the gains most often need to be used
to compensate for these differences. If you, tried
to set all the gains at half way you would probably
find the system didn’t sound very good. Using
good judgement and listening carefully to each
speaker is still the best way to tune a system.
