Diamond Audio Technology HP650 Crossovers, Component System Connection, Crossover Programming

CROSSOVERS

Each HEX™ Pro component system comes with a pair of programmable crossovers. These crossovers use a combination of 12 and 24 dB/oct slopes to optimize the output of the tweeter and mid-bass driver. Each crossover features complete tweeter level, phase, and bi-amp programming capability. An LED found on top of the crossover is used as a power limit indicator. When brightly lit, it indicates that maximum power is being delivered to that channel.

Crossover Programming

Under the sliding cover on the crossover is where the programming controls are located. The tweeter level control has four settings: +2, 0, -2, -4 dB. This is adjusted by changing the combinations of the two toggle switches labeled “TWT LEVEL”. Use the key to the right of the switches to configure tweeter level control. Switch the “BI-AMP” switch only when running the crossover with a bi-amped signal. The “PHASE” switch swaps the tweeter 180 degrees out of phase for off axis tweeter installations.
