HIGH OUTPUTS

These are balanced Output jacks. Connect

the LEFT HIGH OUTPUT to the left channel

input of the high frequency amplifier, and

the RIGHT HIGH OUTPUT to the right

channel input of the high frequency

amplifier. When using different model

amplifiers for the low and high outputs, use

the amplifier with the most wattage for the

low outputs.

INPUT LEVEL control and
indicators

This controls the overall level without

altering the relative settings of the Low, Mid

and High frequency Outputs. Input gain is

+6 dB at “10”. With signal applied,  set this

control so the +4 dBu LED lights occasion-

ally, indicating sufficient signal. Flashing of

the OL (overload) LED during peaks can be

avoided by turning the INPUT LEVEL down.

LOW LEVEL control

This controls the level of signal going to the

LOW OUTPUT jacks. Unity gain is reached at

the “0 dB” mark with the INPUT LEVEL set

to “10”. This control does not affect the

MONO SUB OUTPUT level. Refer to Operating

Instructions on page Manual-6.

LOW/MID FREQUENCY control

This 31-position selector sets the crossover

frequency between the Low and MId

frequency Outputs in both Channels. Consult

the manufacturer of the drivers or cabinets

for the correct setting.

MID OUTPUTS

These are balanced Output jacks. Connect

the LEFT MID OUTPUT to the left channel

input of the mid frequency amplifier, and the

RIGHT MID OUTPUT to the right channel

input of the mid frequency amplifier.

Cable Wiring

In agreement with IEC and AES/ANSI

standards, Rane wiring convention is pin 2

Positive (hot), pin 3 Negative (cold or

return), and pin 1 signal grounded and

chassis grounded (to allow unbalanced

operation). The XLR case is chassis

grounded. 

This device uses low impedance

balanced line drivers. Do not connect the

“+” or “–” output pins to ground, as this

may cause the power supply to shut down.

For unbalanced use, leave the unused output

pin (“+” or “–”) unterminated.
