LANDSCAPE CROWN AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION MANUAL
WHICH PRESET TO USE?
The Crown CDi series amplifier you purchased from Origin Acous-
tics is preloaded with 20 presets to allow allow you to optimally
configure your sound system for practically any circumstance.
The presets have been divided into two families -- the Active
Crossover family and the Passive Crossover family.
The Active Crossover family is recommended for most installs. It
will have the subwoofers on one wire run (must be channel 1) and
the satellite speakers on the other (must be channel 2). The active
crossover removes the bass from the satellites, more effectively
controls how the subwoofer interfaces with the satellites and al-
lows the custom DSP (digital signal processing) to be fed only to
the speakers they were designed for.
• Preset 2 is designed to make the LS 64 sound full range when
no subwoofer is to be used.
• Presets 7-11 require 2 or more amplifiers. They are intended
for larger installs and also give you greater control over the
balance between the subwoofer and the satellites. Presets
12-14 are for 8Ω installs and must use the 8” subwoofer and
satellites switched to 8Ω mode.
