HIGH-PASS CROSSOVER

When both push buttons are in the “out” position, the high-pass crossover is by- passed.

MID AND TWEETERS

When both push buttons are in the “in” position, the high-pass crossover is active in

the “HIGH” frequency range. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. This setting is used for crossing over midrange and tweeter speakers. Set the INTELLi Q level to “0 dB.” NOTE: When the high-pass crossover is in the “HIGH” frequency range, the frequency indicators represent 1/10 of the crossover fre- quency. For example, 35Hz = 350Hz.

WARNING!!!

When using the crossover in the “HIGH” range, it is not

 

recommended to use the INTELLi Q as it may potentially

 

damage your midrange or tweeter speakers.

HIGH-PASS WOOFERS

When only the push button to activate the high-pass crossover is in the “in” position, the high-pass crossover is active in the “LOW” frequency range. The high-pass cross- over is continuously variable from 10 Hz to 1 kHz. The high-pass crossover is now opti- mized for use as a subsonic filter for subwoofers. Additionally, boost can be added at the high-pass crossover frequency for improved bass output while still protecting the woofer from excessive excursion. The INTELLi Q adjustment allows up to 10 dB of boost at the crossover frequency. Care must be taken when setting the INTELLi Q at or near the maximum boost.
