Remote Gain

The remote gain port allows remote, user control over the output of the amplifier. When used on a subwoofer amplifier, the remote gain allows you to change the bass level for different music styles, driving conditions, or sonic preferences. Unlike other designs, Orion allows remote access to the level of the amplifier via a digital micro-controller and electronic volume that does not interfere with the sonic signal chain. The result is a clean clear control of the level of the amplifier that is unaffected by noise.

The XTREME 600.4 has two remote gain ports. This allows for individual control of either the front or rear channels. One RGC-1 can be used to control the level of the front channels and another RGC-1 can be used to control the output level of the rear channels. An example benefit of this is having the front channels in bandpass mode for midbass and the rear channels in low-pass mode for subwoofers. Using two RGC-1 would give the driver the ability to control the level of both the midbass and subwoofers for easy optimal tuning. To utilize this function simply plug-in a RGC-1into either the front or rear gain ports. The RGC-1 is available from your authorized ORION dealer. T

SIGNAL INPUT AND OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROLS

XTREME amplifiers have separate front and rear level adjustments. The input sensitivity of these adjustments range from 200mv up to 5Vrms on the RCA inputs. This allows easy integration from any source unit either with RCA outputs or speaker outputs. Refer to the Testing the System and the Adjusting the Sound of the System sections for detailed instructions on setting up the level controls.
