1. Inputs: 

The inputs of The 

OptiX-9 

use a balanced input circuit to help minimize induced

noise. They are also designed to handle very high signal voltages up to 15 volts.

2. Outputs:

 These RCA connectors should be connected to the next component after the

OptiX-9,

 such as a crossover, equalizer, or amplifier. Just remember, the 

OptiX-9

 should

go inline before a crossover.

3. Dash Remote Control

4. Power Connector

THE OUTSIDE

5. Para-Bass Controls:

 These 2 knobs control the Para-Bass functions of the 

OptiX-9.

The SWEEP knob allows you to pick the center frequency that you want the 

OptiX-9

 bass

restoration circuit to maximize. The WIDE knob adjusts how wide of a frequency range the

OptiX-9

 will effect.

6. The PFM Subsonic Filter Control:

 The 

OptiX-9

 utilizers a PFM Subsonic Filter Control

which will help with speaker control and amplifier power management. This PFM Subsonic

Filter Control comes with frequencies selections from 32Hz to 250Hz. On most systems,

setting the switch at 32Hz is fine. If you want to protect your speaker system even more, you

should try a higher frequency. Often a higher frequency actually sounds louder and cleaner.

7. Input Gain Controls:

 Input signal L/R can be adjusted with these control. Turn the knob

clockwise to increase the input level or turn counterclockwise to reduce the input level.

8. Bass Maximize Indicator Display:

 This lens display with light up effect which flashes when 

the bass maximization circuit is activated.

9. Power On LED.
