FRONT PANEL: STEREO 2-WAY CONFIGURATION

Observe the labels screened 

above 

the controls for stereo operation.

NOTE: In the 2-Way mode, the AC 23 crossover range is from 190 Hz to 7 kHz. The model AC 22 crossover in
stereo 2-Way mode is recommended when the crossover point  needs to be outside of this range.

* Not used in 2-Channel 2-Way Mode

 

POWER switch: 

Two guesses.

 

POWER indicator: 

When this yellow LED is lit the unit is ready to operate.

 CHANNEL 1 MASTER LEVEL control:

 Sets the overall Level of Channel 1 without altering the relative settings of the

Low and High frequency Outputs. Unity gain for all level controls is at “7”.

 LOW LEVEL control: 

Sets the Level of signal going to the Low Frequency output in this channel. Refer to ‘Setting the

Output Level Controls’ on page Manual-15.

 LOW MUTE switch:

 When pressed to the in position, all signal is removed from the Low Frequency Output. This eases

tune-up procedures as described on pages Manual-11-16.

 LOW DELAY control: 

Adds from 0 to 2 ms of time Delay to the Low Frequency Output only. This allows a low fre-

quency driver to be electronically phase-aligned with a mid frequency driver whose diaphragm is situated behind the low
frequency diaphragm. Refer to ‘Time Delay Adjustment Procedure’ on page Manual-10.

 LOW/HIGH crossover frequency selector

: This 41-detent selector sets the crossover frequency between the Low and

High frequency Outputs. Refer to ‘Selecting Crossover Frequencies’ on page Manual-10.

 HIGH LEVEL control:

 Sets the Level of signal going to the High frequency Output only.

 CHANNEL 2 MASTER LEVEL control: 

Sets the overall Level of Channel 2 without altering the relative settings of the

Low and High Outputs.
