This control adjusts the amplifiers input sensitivity. Input sensitivity is variable from 200 Millivolts
to 7 volts. Clockwise increases sensitivity Counterclockwise decreases sensitivity.
This knob is not a volume control for the amplifier. The amplifier can be driven to full power
with a wide range of signal levels. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for full
power. A higher signal level will require decreased sensitivity.

The LINE OUT allows you to build multiple amplifier systems without having to use splitter cords
to distribute the signal. Now it is simple a matter of bringing one set of RCAS into the first
amplifier, then using the line out RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier.

Adjust the crossover for your chosen installation method.
- LPF :
Low pass filter-only bass tones (50Hz-120Hz/50Hz-500Hz:A6601 Q) go to speakers.
Use with woofer or sub-woofer.
- FULL : No filter-all tones go to speakers. Use with full-range speakers, or with external crossovers.
- HPF : High pass filter-blocks very low tones (50Hz-750Hz/50Hz-500Hz:A6601 Q)
from the speakers.
