HIGH LEVEL HARNESSES

Do not connect the high level input connections to power, signal, or chassis ground as damage to the head-unit outputs may result. The high-level inputs are designed to work with either grounded or BTL speaker level outputs (found on most head units).

AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

Signal Input and Output Configurations

The input section of the amplifier consists of a phase switch that sets the output configuration, gain controls, and RCA inputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to most system configurations.

Input Gain

The Orion Cobalt CO5001 and CO8001 amplifiers have level adjustments to allow for easy inte- gration with any source unit. The input sensitivity can be adjusted from 200mV to 5V. Refer to Testing the System and Adjusting the Sound of the System sections of this guide for detailed instructions on setting the gain.

Phase Switches

0° - leaves output unaffected. The output signal is in phase with the input signal.

180° - inverts the output. The channel is 180° output of phase. This configuration is useful for inverting the phase of subwoofers to improve staging in a vehicle. This is also used when bridging two amplifiers into one speaker.

Auxiliary Output Configurations

The auxiliary outputs on Orion Cobalt amplifiers offer easy, unlimited system expansion. Routing signal from a source unit, pre-amplifier, or equalizer is a matter of connecting RCAs to the RCA Inputs and the RCA outputs to your next Orion Cobalt amplifier in the signal chain. The signal passes through a buffer stage so that several amplifiers can be daisy chained without signal loss or overloading of the source unit. This maximizes the signal output and minimizes the potential for system noise.

Internal Crossover

The crossover section of the Orion Cobalt CO5001 and CO8001 amplifiers is continuously variable and extremely flexible.

When using Orion Cobalt loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency ranges can provide superior results depending on your speaker locations and your vehicle acoustics. Setting crossover frequencies higher than recommended will not cause damage and may provide superior sonic results depending on your system's performance goals. Refer to your
