Tweeter Output Level

The GTC04 is a very efficient tweeter. If there is a need to lower the tweeter output level, a pair of 4 ohm / 5 watt resistors can be connected in series with the GTC04 as shown in Figure 3. To avoid short circuits, make sure that heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape is used to cover all exposed wiring.

The in-line crossover acts as a

high-pass filter as well as a pro- tection device that keeps the tweeter from being over-exerted by low frequencies that it was not designed to reproduce. Under normal circumstances this crossover should not be bypassed or removed for any reason. Bypass the installed capacitor only when using an outboard active crossover or a custom- built passive crossover set above 5kHz.
