Introduction

General

The XTD is designed as an easy-to-set-up, high performance digital crossover.
It is designed to match the most commonly used speaker types currently
produced by several manufacturers. The 96kHz sample rate, 24-bit resolu-
tion and flexible firmware assures it will meet the demands of future speaker
designs. It may be used with other equipment, such as room equalization
equalizers, to isolate specific functions and provide a complete audio
processing system. The XTD is compatible with all commercially available
sound processors.

Scope of this Manual

This manual is to aid in the installation and operation of the XTD-33 Digital
Crossover. Because the XTD is designed for use with specific speaker systems,
there may be situations that the XTD cannot correct (e.g., a room with
excessive acoustic absorption or a power amplifier without sufficient power).
Please contact USL if you have any questions
