The 

LINE IN RCA jacks 

must be connected with the RCA output jacks of the headunit.

By connecting only the CH1/2 jacks, the 

INPUT 

switch must be set to the 

2CH

 position.

3

The 

HPF controller (HIGHPASS) 

of 

CH1/2

 and 

CH3/4

 adjusts the cut-off point of the frequency range to below for each channelpair.

The cut-off frequency is continuously adjustable from 10 Hz to 1200 Hz (1.2 kHz).

6

The 

CH1/2 X-OVER MODE switch 

selects the required operation mode of this channelpair.

Position DUPE: 

This mode should be selected, if you want to run 2 subwoofers bridged in LPF/BPF mode. The DUPE mode

passes (duplicate) the signal from CH3/4 to the line input section of CH1/2. All controllers and settings except the LEVEL controller
are then without function. The LINE IN RCAs of CH1/2 are deactivated.

Position HPF:

 Highpass mode (the higher frequencies will be eliminate. Adjustable by the HPF controller.)

Position FULL:

 Fullrange mode (the whole frequencies will be amplified).

The 

CH3/4

 

BOOST controller

 defines the bass bosst from 0 to 12dB @ 50Hz on channelpair 3/4.

FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

2

The 

LINE OUT RCA jacks 

provide a summed mono audiosignal to supply an additional subwoofer amplifier.

4

The 

LPF controller (LOW PASS)

 on CH3/4 adjusts the cut-off point of the frequency range to above. The cut-off frequency is

continuously adjustable from 30 Hz to 150 Hz.

5

The 

LEVEL controller 

adjusts the input sensitivity of the amplifier to align the audio signal from the head unit for each channelpair.

The input sensitivity is adjustable from 6 Volts (MIN) to 0.2 Volts (MAX).

The 

BASS LEVEL CONTROLLER port

 is for the cable of the enclosed bass remote controller. With this bass remote controller,

you are able to adjust the bass level e.g. out of the driver’s seat. Please use only the enclosed bass remote controller and cable.
The controller works only in LPF/BPF and only on CH3/4. In DUPE mode operation it also works on CH1/2. For more details check
the information on page 21, section #8.

11

The 

CH3/4 X-OVER MODE switch 

selects the required operation mode of this channelpair.

Position LPF/BPF: 

Lowpass mode (the higher frequencies will be eliminated. Adjustable by the LPF controller.)

The HPF controller works in this operation mode as subsonicfilter and eliminates the lower frequencies (Bandpass-Mode).
NOTE: If this controller is turned to a higher value than the LPF controller, no sound is hearable.

Position HPF:

 Highpass mode (the higher frequencies will be eliminate. Adjustable by the HPF controller.)

Position FULL:

 Fullrange mode (the whole frequencies will be amplified).

7

The 

INPUT switch 

must be in 

2CH

 position, if you connect only one RCA stereo audio cable on the CH1/2 LINE IN.

Select position 

4CH

, if you connect two RCA stereo audio cables on CH1/2 and CH3/4 line inputs. The fader function of your

headunit works only in the 

4CH

 mode. If you have select the 

2CH 

mode, the input signal of LINE INPUT CH1/2 will be passed

to CH3/4. Due to this, only one RCA stereo audio cable is required and no Y-Adaptors are required.
