Operating the S 2-way
SETTING UP THE S 2-way
Whether you are an experienced audio engineer or just starting out, the following sections of this manual will help
you get going with your S 2-way. Now that you have unpacked the unit and have become a bit familiar with the
front panel controls, you can follow the next sections of this manual to begin to set-up and operate your new
crossover. Further on in this manual, you will find detailed wiring diagrams of various speaker system set-ups.
For detailed diagrams of connector and cable wiring, see page 13 in this manual.
MODE SWITCH
The S 2-way can be configured to operate in two modes includ-
ing Stereo 2-way and Mono 3-way. The Mode Switch, located in
the center section of the unit, is used to select one of the two
operating modes. Notice that the outlined box around the ledged
“3W” highlights the 3-way Mono position. If you operate the unit
in 3-way mono mode, you will find that some of the functions
change the band that the control. The 3-way parameters for
these switches and control knobs are indicated by the outlined
box.
MONO 3-WAY INDICATORS
Because the S 2-way can be configured to operate in either stereo 2-way or mono 3-way, the channel 1
crossover controls may be adjusted for the frequency division between low and high, or low and mid depending
on the mode. On some crossovers, it is very difficult to get a quick visualization as to what controls are controlling
what function. The S 2-way solves this problem by highlighting the function with the outlined box around the leg-
end over Frequency and Gain controls. You will see the same indication for the Phase and Mute switches in the
master section. These provide quick identification of the frequency band that is under control. In the diagram
below, you can see what functions are under control when operating in mono 3-way mode.
