PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT

Caution : To prevent malfunctioning and/or possible equipment damage:

Before plugging the unit into the power source: (1) the voltage selector switch should
be set For the correct voltage for your area (115V or 230V) and (2) all equipment
connected to the Crossover outputs should be turned off or all the inputs turned down.

CONTROLS

1 ON/OFF SWITCH

2 CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROLS:

3 L/H OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROLS:

4 LOW CUT SWITCHES FOR LOW WAY:

Caution: Always turn the Crossover ON before the amplifier, and turn it OFF after the
amplifier or transients harmful to the speakers may result.

These select the crossover frequencies of the LOW and HIGH ways.
They are a low cut for the HIGH and a high cut for the LOW. You can select the frequencies
between 250 Hz and 6 Hz.

These are used to adjust the output level of each way: LOW and HIGH.

These insert low cut filters in the LOW way of each stereo channel with a 12dB/Octave,
30Hz HPF to minimize problems from subsonic frequencies in the signal, to suppress hum,
and to prevent low frequency speaker resonance.

CONNECTION CABLES

In this chapter you'll find the wiring diagrams for the connectors to be used with your crossover.
Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots
and twists when coiling them: this gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability,
which is always to your advantage.
Periodically check that your cables are in good condition, that they are correctly wired and
that all their contacts are perfectly efficients: a great number of problems (faulty contacts,
ground hum. discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.

5 PHASE SWITCHES:

These allow switching the polarity to invert the signal phase on the HIGH ways. This is
done afterthe output levels are set to correct audible phase problems.
Caution: Before pressing the PHASE switches, always lower the outputs of your power
amplifiers to avoid possible speaker damage.

This selects the crossover frequency of the SUB WOOFER way. You can select the
frequency between 50 Hz to 250 Hz.

This is used to adjust the SUB WOOFER output level.

This inserts a low cut filter in the SUBWOOFER way with a 12dB/Octave, 30 Hz HPF to
minimize problems from subsonic frequencies in the signal, to suppress hum, and to
prevent low frequency subwoofer speaker resonance.

Your unit may have the AC Voltage Selector (~115V/60Hz or ~230V/50Hz) built into the
Fuse Holder. With a small screw driver pull/pop out the Fuse Holder and rotate it so
that the arrow showing the proper voltage in your area points toward the other arrow
in the upper left comer of plug assembly, and re-insert.

Connect your L/R stereo input signal to either the balanced XLR or the unbalanced
1/4" input jacks.

Connect to your amplifiers via these unbalanced 1/4" output jacks.

Use the enclosed power cord to connect the unit to the mains.
