This component isn’t the easiest to understand and use. It requires a good understanding of audio and the terms and language used to describe it. You don’t have to be a genius but a bit of experience and common sense will go a long way.

This manual is written in two partsInstallation and Configuration/Tuning. Before you begin find and complete the “System Configuration Worksheet” (make a bunch of copies) included in this manual.
