5 channel discrete, one being mono low pass

Single Set of Stereo RCA’s

- CH 3 / 4  X-OVER: FULL

You can use this configuration simply as 4 discrete full range channels, with a 5th 
low pass channel. All of the crossovers are bypassed , except the LOW PASS on 
channel 5. The 5 channels can also be utilized with an outboard active crossover,
