Connecting and Setup Crossover
With all component systems, the tweeter range has been provided with a thermal protection device in the
crossover. This added measure protects the high-quality tweeter against overly high performance levels.
However, with extremely high performance levels, the thermal protection device will shut down the
tweeter to a low level. Once reduced the power to a normal level the thermal protection device will cool
down and will release tweeter from protection status after a few minutes.
If the woofer and tweeter are placed very closely together, the polarity of the tweeters as indicated at the
crossover should be maintained.
⇒
Optimal tuning. In mechanical situations where the woofer and
tweeter are placed very far apart, it is recommended that the polarity of the tweeters be turned
approximately 180°. In addition, clamp the tweeter cable with red conduit cover sleeve from the positive
terminal of the crossover and fasten on the minus connection. Afterwards take the tweeter cable with the
black conduit sleeve from the minus connection and fasten to the positive terminal. A more enclosed
sound can be achieved by this measure.
ATTENTION! Danger of short circuit.
The unused tweeter cable of the tweeter crossover must be
insulated by insulating tape against short circuit resulting otherwise in destruction of the tweeter
crossover.
