High-Pass Crossover

When  the  switch  is  to  the  right  (FULL  position),  the  high-pass  
crossover is bypassed. When the switch is to the left, the high-pass 
crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable 
from XTR500.4,XTR750.4 and XTR1000.4 : 50Hz - 5kHz ,

Adjusting Bass Boost

Bass Boost maximizes the performance of a subwoofer and allows for
continuous adjustment of low frequency boost on the rear channels.
Bass Boost can be adjusted from 0dB to 18dB of boost centered at
45Hz. Initially the Q is very low (wide). As Boost is added, the Q rises
(narrows). This allows the amplifier to overcome acoustic deficien-
cies  in  your  vehicle.  The  type  of  enclosure  used,  the  sub-woofer’s 
excursion  capability,  personal  preference,  and  attitude  determine 
acceptable boost levels.

WARNING!

 Exercise caution when setting Bass Boost. Maximum

boost can potentially cause woofer damage due to over-excursion.

NOTE:

 While the amplifier allows up to 18dB of boost, it is possible

to clip the amplifier with comparatively low output levels in other
frequency ranges.

Phase Shift Control

0° - lea

ves output unaffected. The output signal is in phase with

180° - inverts the output. The channel is 180° output of phase.

This configuration is useful for inverting the phase of subwoofers
to improve staging in a vehicle.

Remote Gain Operation

NOTE:

 Do not use the Remote Gain control when you have an

expanded system installed (see Line Output Configurations). 
The Slave amplifier(s) gain will not be controlled.
The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain
structure  of  the  XTR  power  amplifier.  The  Remote  plugs  into  the 
amplifier via the 1/8” mini jack plug. The Remote can be installed in 
the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level. The Remote 
can  be  used  as  a  bass  level  control  when  used  on  an  amplifier 
dedicated to subwoofers.

XTR1700.4 and XTR2500.4 : 50Hz-1.5kHz/500Hz-15kHz(Using x10
feature).
