Cross-Over (Output Channels)

For detailed EQ plot im- ages please see page 45

The DC-One’s crossover is an advanced frequency division process that is accomplished by applying a variety of high-pass and low-pass filters to a predetermined set of crossover points.

Speaker systems are generally made up of several drivers that are dedicated to a specific range of frequencies that result in the efficient reproduction of the audio spectrum and a smooth sound. The DC-One crossover routes frequencies to the appropriate drivers to accurately reproduce sound. The crossover network can also be used to insure that low-frequency energy is not accidently routed to the mid-range or tweeter drivers that may result in potential damage.

Available DC-One crossover parameters are

Type and Frequency.

To access the Crossover screen, press the X-Overbutton found on the output processing menu. Subsequent button presses will

toggle the display between OUT1 to OUT6. Use the <SELECT> button to navigate between the Low Pass/parameters. Adjust the values of each parameter using the up/down VALUE arrows.

The DC-One Crossover offers a variety of HiPass and LoPass filters depending on the configuration output selected along with a variety of selectable filters and frequency ranges that are adjustable using the up/down VALUE arrows.
