11.Bass EQ Control – The Bass EQ allows a narrow band adjustment of up to +18dB centered at 45Hz. The bass boost can be bypassed by turning the control to its minimum or counterclockwise position.

12.E-Z Bridge Switch / 0°-180°Phase Switch – This dual purpose switch enables you to E-Z bridge the amplifier or invert the signal phase of the right channel.

13.Phase Switch – This switch enables you to easily invert the phase of the left channel without having to disconnect the speaker wires.

14.Internal Crossovers – These built-in crossover cards are configurable for a multitude of operating frequencies. The orientation of the card in its socket determines its function of high-pass, low-pass or full range operation.

15.LED Power Indicator – The LED gives a visual indication of the status of the amplifier, lighting when the unit is turned on.
