Crossover and Filter Adjustments

The crossover and filter gain adjust- ments can be performed two different ways, by using a piece of audio test equipment called an RTA (Real Time Analyzer) or by listening to a familiar piece of music. The RTA is most commonly used to achieve the flattest possible system response in preparation for a sound-off competition. Although an RTA may help in setting a flat system response, it does not allow for your personal listening preferences. When setting the EQ filter and gain controls using a familiar piece of music, adjust- ments can be made according the way you like the music to sound in relation to the vehicles acoustics and the type of drivers in the system.

1.Set all filter gain controls to their flat setting by adjusting all the filter knobs to the center or 0 setting when they are extended and set to their in position.

2.Set all frequency controls to their flat setting by adjusting all the filter knobs knobs to the flat or 0 setting when they are extended and set to their out position.

3.If using the dedicated subwoofer output, set its gain and frequency control to the center position.

NOTE:	When interfacing Directed class d amplifiers with non-
	defeatable low-pass crossovers adjust the amplifiers
	crossover point to its highest frequency setting.

4.Turn on the head unit and play a familiar piece of music as reference material.

5.If the front and rear outputs have been set to high pass by setting the switch on the rear panel to the high pass setting, adjust the front crossover to the lowest possible setting with a minimum of distor- tion. Repeat for the rear speakers.

6.At this time adjust the subwoofer frequency and volume to match the crossover settings for the satellite speakers. When set properly the bass should not be localized and voices should not be heard through the subwoofers.

7.Adjusting the frequency control knobs out direction from center will change the center frequency and bandwidth parameter for that particular filter. The higher the frequency (clockwise) for a filter the wider bandwidth, the lower the frequency (counter-clockwise) the narrower bandwidth.

8.Once the center frequencies and bandwidth have been adjusted controls have been set, use the filter gains (filter knob’s in position) to fine tune the system for differing tastes in music or material.
