Set the channel 5-6 High Pass Filter Frequency Control to 50 and the MULTIPLIER Switch to X.1. This will send frequencies above 100Hz to the upper range speakers for channels 1 thru 4 and roll-off frequencies below 5Hz for channels 5-6.

Low Pass Filter

Set the Channel 3-4 low pass filter to OUT. Set the Chan- nel 5-6 Low Pass Filter FREQUENCY Control to 100 and the MULTIPLIER Switch to X1. This will roll-off frequen- cies above 100Hz for channels 5-6.

Note: Set CH2, CH4 and CH6 SENSITIVITY Controls to the maximum counterclockwise position.

Output Mode

Set all three OUTPUT MODE Switches to the BRIDGED position.

High Pass Filter

Set the Channels 1-2 and 3-4 High Pass Filters’ FRE- QUENCY Control to 100 and the MULTIPLIER Switch to X1. Set the channel 5-6 High Pass Filter Frequency Control to 50 and the MULTIPLIER Switch to X.1. This will send frequencies above 100Hz to the upper range speakers for channels 1 thru 4 and roll-off frequencies below 5Hz for channels 5-6.

Low Pass Filter

Set the Channel 3-4 low pass filter to OUT. Set the Chan- nel 5-6 Low Pass Filter FREQUENCY Control to 100 and the MULTIPLIER Switch to X1. This will roll-off frequen- cies above 100Hz for channels 5-6.
