MTX Audio TA5302 manual

will send the components or separates frequencies from 40Hz to 20kHz and then start to taper down as the frequencies go under 40Hz (12dB/octave roll off). The industry standard for high pass setting crossover point is around 120Hz. When the amp is in HP setting and the X-over point is set to 120Hz, the amp will send the speakers frequencies from 120Hz to 20kHz. This crossover network allows the drivers to recreate the frequencies within a precisely designed range so that the speakers do not become distorted by trying to reproduce frequencies that they are physically unable to reproduce. This feature ensures that the components or separates do not receive low bass notes. The 12dB/oct means the slope, or the amount of other frequencies that will be affected, is fairly narrow. This design complements both the subwoofer and the mid to provide greater musical detail.

•Setting For Full Range (No Crossover): To Disable the electronic crossover, select the “OFF” position of the X-OVER switch. This setting will allow the ampliﬁer to play all frequencies.

4.Adjusting Quasi Parametric Equalizer – In some applications, the bass ampliﬁer needs some help in boosting or cutting certain frequencies. A quasi parametric equalizer is distinguished from a parametric equalizer in that it allows the user to control only the level and the center frequency of the boost or cut but not the “Q”.

The following steps describe what the two controls of the parametric Bass EQ do in isolation. It is important to understand these behaviors, because they must all be considered when setting up the Bass EQ.

•Setting the Frequency: Begin listening for the loudest musical spot or range within the bass range of your sound system. Adjust the center frequency to match this point. For most systems, the best center frequency adjustment will be between 40-50Hz. Use 45Hz (12 o’clock setting) as a starting point and adjust up or down gradually.

•Setting the Boost/Cut: Once you have determined the loudest musical spot or range within the bass range of your sound system, start cutting until the response is smooth and even. You can also boost low spots within the musical range, but don’t go crazy with the boost knob. There is a lot of boost available, 12dB, but begin with a low boost setting (around 3dB) and try to stay below 6dB whenever possible. Remember that for every 3dB of additional boost you dial in, you are asking the ampliﬁer to double its power output for a given signal in the boost region.

5.Adjusting the Active Resonance Control (A.R.C.) Feature – This feature will be needed when mounting speakers lower in the door or in kick panels. Most vehicles have a natural peak that occurs at about 200Hz. By turning the dial located on the top control panel clockwise you to CUT 200Hz up to 18dB. This allows you to remove unwanted peaks in your mids and highs that occur in most vehicles.

6.Remote Subwoofer Level Control (Remote Gain) – Let’s say the ampliﬁer’s gain is set at halfway. When the remote subwoofer level control is plugged in, you have external control of the gain from zero to halfway. The installation of this level control is NOT necessary to get full power from the ampliﬁer.

7.Prizm EFX – Now that you have completed adjusting all your ampliﬁer settings, you can set the lighting effects to your personal taste.

•Selecting Colors: You can change the backlit colors simply by turning the dial labeled PRIZM COLOR located in the MTX PRIZM EFX section of the control panel left or right. Starting at the left most position, the colors range from RED to GREEN, BLUE, and then RED again. You can choose any color in between making the combinations unlimited.

•Selecting the EFX Feature: You can switch Prizm EFX lighting to “pulsate” with the beat of the music. Simply Depress the button labeled PRIZM EFX located in the in the MTX PRIZM EFX section of the control panel to turn this feature on or off.
