N°5 and N°6 Crossblock settings
N°5/N°6 Crossblock is an exclusive
high technology crossover offering
4480 different filtering combinations
to adapt kit’s characteristics to car’s
environment and to your own tastes.
We advise you to refer to the
Quality Control Certificate provided
with each kit in order to know the
reference setting
(fig. 1)
.
This setting corresponds to an
optimized linearity obtained ac-
cording to normalized measuring
conditions (see file for more infor-
mations) and is a good base to
refer to before begining settings.
The response curve may change
according to vehicle acoustic,
speakers location, woofer / tweeter
distance and speakers orientation.
An adapted Crossblock setting will
allow to have a flat response curve.
We advise you to use a measure
equipment (RTA) for a fine setting.
We advise you to note the different
settings in order to refer to them as
often as you need.
S1 setting (Low-pass)
This setting changes the low-pass
frequency value (12dB/octave). “1”
refers to the higher value and “10”
refers to the lower one
(fig. 2)
.
S2 setting (Q factor)
This setting allows to boost midrange.
It aims at correcting medium when
the woofer is out of the listening
axis, low in the door for example,
midrange’s losses may occur. “8”
refers to a linear response whereas
“1” refers to maximum midrange’s
boost
(fig. 3)
.
S3 setting (Hi-pass)
This setting changes the hi-pass
frequency value (12 dB/octave).
Seven settings are available. “1”
refers to the higher value whereas
“7” refers to the lower one
(fig. 4)
.
S4 setting (Level)
It refers to tweeter level setting. Each
value change level around 1dB per
step. “8” refers to minimum boost
whereas “1” refers to maximum
boost
(fig. 5)
