CROSSOVER SWITCH

CROSSOVER POSITION

Splits a full-range signal to drive a subwoofer and top box. CH 1 receives the lows, from 20-100Hz, for the subwoofer. CH 2 receives 100Hz to 20kHz, to power a full range speaker. When using CROSSOVER mode, connect signal to CH 1 only. Use the two Gain controls to balance the LF and HF signals (see Front Panel).

FULL RANGE POSITION

For normal, 2-channel use with all inputs active. The crossover is bypassed.

EXHAUST VENT

Keep vent clear. Install in open-back rack.

REAR EAR MOUNTING

Rear ears designed for protecting the rear connector wire dressing and supporting the amplifier in a rack. A rear rack support mounting kit (model FG-000031-00 pack of two) is available from QSC Technical Services Group.
