Manual-1

QUICK START

Whoa, hold on there. Even if you don’t read manuals as a matter of principle, at least read this section to avoid hurting

yourself or your equipment.

Connect the MX 23 with the 

POWER 

off

. Balanced XLR cables are recommended, but if you must convert to ¼"

connectors, buy or make a cable like the ones on page Manual-11 and keep them as short as possible. 

This device uses low

impedance balanced line drivers. Do not connect the “+” or “–” output pins to ground, as this may cause the power supply
to shut down. For unbalanced use, leave the unused output pin (“+” or “–”) unterminated.

Consult the speaker manufacturers for the correct crossover 

FREQUENCY 

settings. As rugged as some drivers are,

many (especially compression drivers) will not accept frequencies outside of their normal range without producing distor-
tion and possibly self-destruction.

With all equipment turned off and 

LEVEL 

controls down, begin making connections to the system as shown on page

Manual-4 or 5. When turning on the system, switch on the power amplifiers 

last

. Now, feed the MX 23 some program

material. Start by turning up the 

LOW LEVEL, MID LEVEL

 and 

HIGH LEVEL

 to the 

0 dB

 marks. Slowly increase the

INPUT LEVEL

, even if it goes all the way to 

10

, so the 

+4 dBu

 (green) light blinks occasionally and the 

OL

 (red) light

stays out. This delivers the best signal-to-noise performance.

The 

MONO SUB OUTPUT

 is a sum of the Left and Right Low Outputs. The 

MONO SUB LEVEL

 adjusts only this

Output and is not affected by the 

LOW LEVEL

 control.. When using a single mono bass bin along with stereo mid- and

high-range cabinets, set the 

100 Hz FILTER

 to 

OUT

, allowing the front panel 

FREQUENCY 

to control the subwoofer

crossover point. When used with 3-way cabinets and a subwoofer, set the 

100 Hz FILTER 

switch to 

IN 

to allow only

frequencies below 100 Hz at this output jack. This way, the MX 23 almost does the job of a Stereo 4-Way crossover, but
without removing that awesome bass from the Left and Right Low Outputs.
