1. SETTING THE SUBWOOFER CROSSOVER POINT, BASS BOOST, PHASE,
     and SUB SONIC FILTER

     Set the desired

 CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

 tor the subwoofer output using the

     

LOW PASS FREQUENCY

 dial. You may select from 40Hz up to 400Hz as your

     crossover point.
     Set the 

BASS BOOST

 by using the two dials. Use the 

LEVEL

 dial to set the boost  

     gain from 0 to 18dB. and use the 

FREQUENCY 

dial to set the bass boost frequency  

     point from 40Hz up to 400Hz.
     Select the 

PHASE

 of the subwoofer using the 

PHASE

 switch, 0 degrees in phase or

     180 degrees out of phase. The normal default setting is 0 degrees in phase.
     

SUBSONIC FILTER

 may be turned on/off by using the 

SUBSONIC FILTER

 switch.

     When switched on, this Filter avoids reproduction of inaudible low frequencies    
     below 25Hz which could damage the subwoofer(s) because they can generate    
     over displacement of the subwoofer cone. It is recommended that the 

SUBSONIC  

     

FILTER 

be switched ON.

2. SETTING THE CROSSOVER POINTS FOR THE REAR (MIDRANGE) OUTPUT

     Usually the 

MID

 output is a 

BAND PASS

 design. It's achieved by setting the 

MODE

     switch at “

BAND PASS

” and using both 

HIGH PASS

 and 

LOW PASS FREQUENCY

       

     dials. Set the desired 

HIGH PASS

 frequency anywhere between 65Hz and 300Hz  

     for the low frequency cutoff, and set the desired Low PASS frequency anywhere   
     between 2.9KHz and 4.8KHz for the high frequency cutoff.
     Selecting 

HIGH PASS

 from the 

MODE

 switch and using 

HIGH PASS FREQUENCY

     dial alone will remove the high cutoff section and allow the midrange output to  
     play up to 20KHz.
     Selecting 

LOW PASS

 from the 

MODE

 switch and using 

LOW PASS FREQUENCY

  

     dial alone will remove the low cutoff section and allow the midrange output to   
     play down to 20Hz. This setting will be ideal if you're using mid bass speakers    
     capable of reproducing low to mid frequencies.
