5 LEFT/RIGHT FRONT CHANNEL
SIGNAL INPUTS
To be connected to the front channel
output of the source unit.
6 PARALLEL INPUT SWITCH
“IN”: When the parallel input is in the
“IN” position, the input signals coming
in through the front channel signal inputs are split and directed to the front
and rear channels simultaneously .
(This feature is to be engaged when
the source unit has no separate front,
rear or subwoofer channel outputs.)
“OUT”: If the source unit has inde-
pendent front and rear channel outputs, disengage the parallel input by
sliding the switch to the “OUT” position.

channel output of the source unit, BUT
MAKE SURE THA T THE INPUT
SWITCH IS IN THE “OUT” POSITION.
8 LEFT/RIGHT MIXED IN/OUT

the source unit.
As output terminal: to be connected to
the front channel input terminal of another electronic crossover in a multicrossover system.
9 FRONT CHANNEL HIGH-P ASS
FREQUENCY SELECTOR

32 Hz and 400 Hz (or 640 Hz and
8 kHz when its frequency multiplier is
in the “x20” position.)
: REAR CHANNEL HIGH-P ASS
FREQUENCY SELECTOR
For selection of front channel highpass crossover frequency between
32 Hz and 400 Hz.
; FRONT CHANNEL HIGH-PASS
FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER
Positioning this switch in the “x20” position changes the range of selectable

Hz to 640 Hz - 8 kHz.
< SUBWOOFER FREQUENCY
SELECTOR
For selection of the low-pass crossover frequency for the subwoofer channel between 32 Hz and 400 Hz.
= BASS BOOST SWITCH
When activated, this circuit provides a
single octave boost of 12 dB at 45 Hz
to compensate the woofer enclosure.
> PHASE INVERTER
Positioning the switch in the “180” Position shifts the subwoofer output signals 180 degrees out-of-phase relative to the front and rear output signals.

Safety instructions
When carrying out installation work and making connections please observe the following
safety instructions:
- Disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery! When doing so, please observe
the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions.
- Make sure you do not damage vehicle
components when drilling any holes.
- The cross sections of the positive and
negative cables must not be less than
0.75 mm
- Depending on the model, your vehicle
may differ from the description provided
here. We accept no responsibility for any
damages due to incorrect installation or
connection or for any consequential
damages.
If the information provided here is not
suitable for your specific installation requirements, please contact your
Blaupunkt dealer, your vehicle manufacturer or our telephone hotline.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FEATURES
CROSSOVER DESIGN
BASS BOOST CIRCUITRY WITH QUA-
SI-PARAMETRIC EQUALIZATION
A sealed enclosure ensures a woofer’s frequency response will roll off at a rate of 12 dB
per octave below the enclosure’s resonant frequency. The quasi-parametric equalization of
our BASS BOOST circuitry provides a single
octave boost of 12 dB at 45 Hz to ensure
smooth and accurate bass response.
DC/DC REGULATED SWITCHING
POWER SUPPLY
This power supply design provides constant
voltage to the crossover regardless of the
battery’s voltage to ensure consistent output
performance at all times. This design also
eliminates switching noise due to voltage fluctuation.
FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER
The front high-pass section is equipped with
a frequency multiplier switch that can be used
to multiply the crossover frequency points.
With the additional selectable crossover
points, setting the system becomes a very
precise procedure.
PARALLEL I NPUT SWITCH
In order that a source unit has a single pair of
signal outputs, an adapter is needed to split
the front and rear inputs. With the electronic
crossover, by engaging the parallel input feature, an external adapter is no longer necessary.
FRONT/REAR INPUTS WITH
FRONT/REAR/SUBWOOFER OUTPUTS
The mobile electronic crossover has front and
rear preamp inputs and front and rear outputs, as well as a constant subwoofer output
that is independent of the front/rear fader position on the source unit.
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT LEVEL
STEREO/MONO SUBWOOFER
GOLD PLATED RCA CONNECTORS
REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (Option)
This remote device permits adjustment of the
low-pass level from the front of your vehicle.
Final system check

put levels as follows:

Output Level: 12 o’clock position
Note:
c. Preset the volume of the source unit to
its minimum (otherwise, when the source
unit is turned on, the sudden surge of
high power from the amplifiers might
cause damage to the audio components)
2. Turn the source unit on and
slowly increase the source unit
volume:
a. No Sound At All
•Turn the system off immediately .
• Check if connections have been made
properly (refer to section entitled Con-
nections for details).
• Use a Volt/Ohm meter to make sure a
good chassis ground is established for
each component that needs to be
grounded.
• Check the power input of all systems
• Check if the remote on/off terminals of all
system components are properly connected to a positive 12-volt source.
• If everything is in order, turn the power
on again. If the problem persists, refer to
the section entitled TROUBLE SHOOT-
ING GUIDE for assistance.
b. Obvious Distortion
Turn the system off and refer to the section entitled TROUBLE SHOOTING
GUIDE for assistance.
c. Out-of-Phase Problem (i.e. Abnormal
Bass)
Turn the system off and refer to the section entitled TROUBLE SHOOTING
GUIDE for assistance.
3. Noise check
Before mounting the mobile electronic crossover and the other audio components permanently, please carry out the following noise
check:
1. Start the engine and turn on the power of
the source unit.
2. Rev the engine whilst it is idling and vary
the audio volume to check for emitted engine noise or a tick-tick noise, refer to the
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE for assistance. If the problem persists, consult
your local dealer directly .
3. If no unwanted noise is detected, double
check all the wiring and cables to ensure
they are secure. Then securely tighten
the mounting screws of all the audio
components.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM PROBALE CAUSE

1. No power
2. “Flickering”: The electronic crossover
power indicator switches on and off repeatedly when the audio system is on.
3. The electronic crossover heats up
quickly even when the audio system is
at moderate volume.
• Check all the ground, B+ and remote
control terminals for tight connection.
• Check all fuses.
• Use a Volt/Ohm meter to check all current carrying cables to see if the system is receiving +12V .
• Check whether the electronic crossover
B+ power input is connected directly to
the battery .
• Check the battery voltage: if low, recharge or replace it.
• Check whether the electronic crossover
has a good ground connection
(i.e.whether the ground wire is making
good contact with a bare spot of the vehicle chassis.).
• Check that all ground connections of
the entire system are making good
contact with bare metal.
• Check for speaker short: circuit disconnect speaker cable from amplifier. Test
speaker with a Volt/Ohm meter. If there
is a short circuit in the speaker wiring,

SYMPTOM PROBALE CAUSE
replace the entire speaker cable or reinsulate any exposed wire with electrical tape.
4. When the engine is running, the audio
system emits a radiating noise that remains unchanged or disappears when
the volume is increased.
5. When the engine is running, the audio
system emits a radiating noise that increases or decreases with the volume of
all program sources (for radio, tape or
CD).
6. When the engine is running, the audio
system emits a whining noise that increase or decreases ONLY with the volume.
7. Obvious distortion at low volume.
• Check all the +power cables to see if
they are connected correctly .
• Check all the ground connections of
the entire system for good contact with
bare metal of the vehicle chassis.
• Check whether the source unit and the
electronic crossover are connected to
the vehicle ground at the same reference point.
• Install a 10 amp in-line filter on the red
power cable of the mobile electronic
crossover.
• If the noise persists, check the threephase current diodes and the voltage
regulator.
• This is commonly known as “radiated”
noise. It is NOT caused by the mobile
electronic crossover and thus is beyond the scope of this manual. Please
contact your local retailer/installer for
assistance.
• Output level of various channels is not
compatible, refer to section entitled
FINAL SYSTEM CHECK.
8. Overall sound effect is good, but bass is
abnormal (more bass at the two extreme
settings of the balance control than at
the center setting).
16
• The subwoofers are “out-to-phase” with
each other, thus canceling the bass
when the balance control is at the
center position. Check the wiring from
the amplifier to the subwoofers (positive “+” to positive “+” and negative “-” to
negative “-”)
