INPUT control

. This control adjusts the input gain from +12 to -12 dB.

2

LOW CUT button

. This button activates the 25-Hz high-pass filter protecting the woofers against low-

frequency signals.

3

LOW/MID XOVER FREQ

. control. This control governs the crossover frequency between the Low and

Mid bands. When the XOVER FREQUENCY button on the rear of the unit is pressed, the frequency

range is multiplied by the factor 10.

4

MID/HIGH XOVER FREQ

. control. This control governs the crossover frequency between the Mid and

High bands.

5

DELAY control

. This control delays the Low signal by as much as 2 ms, which is useful to align the

speaker systems in phase.

6

LOW OUTPUT control

. Controls the output level of the Low band from +6 to -6 dB.

7

LOW PHASE INVERT button

. This button reverses the polarity of the Low output.

8

LOW MUTE button

. Mutes the Low band.

9

MID OUTPUT control

.  Controls the output level of the Mid band from +6 to -6 dB.

10

MID PHASE INVERT button

. This button reverses the polarity of the Mid output.

11

MID MUTE button

. Mutes the Mid band.

12

HIGH OUTPUT control

. Controls the output level of the High band from +6 to -6 dB.

13

HIGH PHASE INVERT button

. This button reverses the polarity of the High output.

14

HIGH MUTE button

. Mutes the High band.

15

CD HORN button

. This button provides a special form of frequency correction in the High band for

constant-directivity horns.

30

THRESHOLD control

. This control determines the limiter threshold.

31

LIMITER button

. This button activates all limiters. Whenever the signal surpasses the limiter threshold,

the LIM-LEDs above the Gain control light up, signaling that the CX3400 cuts back the output level.

MODE button

. In stereo 3-way mode, both buttons must be out. Please observe the labels on the rear

panel of the unit.
