High-Pass Crossover, Input Gain, INTELLi Bass Control

High-Pass Crossover

When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed. When the switch is in the middle (HIGH position), the high-pass crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz.

Input Gain

The Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers have gain adjustments with an input sensitivity range from 200mV up to 5V on the RCA inputs and 1V to 10 on the high-level 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.

INTELLi Bass Control

INTELLi Bass maximizes the performance of a subwoofer. INTELLi Bass allows for continuous adjustment of low frequency boost. INTELLi Bass is a variable Q and variable frequency low frequency boost. INTELLi Bass can be adjusted from 0dB of boost to 16dB of boost centered at 45Hz. Initially the Q is very low. As INTELLi Bass is added, the Q becomes sharper. This allows the Orion 2002 and 3002 to overcome acoustic deficiencies in your vehicle. The type of enclosure used, the sub-woofer's excursion capability, personal preference, and attitude determine acceptable boost levels.

WARNING! Exercise caution when setting INTELLi Bass. Maximum boost can

potentially cause woofer damage due to overexcursion.
