   This port is for connecting the optional LPL Remote Lowpass Level Control 

knob allowing up to 20dB of volume adjustment.

4. INPUT SENSITIVITY LEVEL CONTROL (SENS)

   The input sensitivity level can be varied from 200 mV to 8.0 volts depending 

on the output voltage of the source unit (refer to sub-section titled INPUT 
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT).

5.  SUBSONIC FILTER 

   This is a filter to remove unwanted low frequencies that may cause damage 

to the speaker or are inaudible.  When this is used properly it will allow the 
amplifier to run more effectively. 

6.  FREQUENCY SELECTOR (FREQ)

  Allows variable adjustment from 40 to 400Hz

7.  VARIABLE BASS BOOST

 

  The bass boost will increase the output centered at 45Hz from 0 to 18dB

CONTROLS, INDICATORS, AND TERMINALS:

1. AUX OUTPUT (RCA)

   This output is full range and can be used to connect to another amplifier for 

system expansion.

2. LINE LEVEL INPUT (RCA)

   To be connected to RCA pre-amp outputs from a source unit (i.e., radio, 

tape deck or CD player).
