High-Pass Crossover

When the switch is to the right (OFF position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed. When the switch is to the left (ON position), the high-pass crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz.

High-Pass Woofers

The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz. The high-pass crossover is now optimized for use as a subsonic filter for subwoofers. Additionally, boost can be added for improved bass output while still protecting the woofer from excessive excursion.

Fine Tuning the Crossover Frequency

The crossover section is marked at four frequency points for ease of system adjustment. These points are 20Hz, 250Hz, 1kHz, and 3kHz. Specific crossover points can be chosen based on the recommended operational bandwidth of your speakers.

Auxiliary Output Configurations

The auxiliary outputs on Orion amplifiers offer easy, unlimited system expansion. Routing signal from a source unit, pre-amplifier, or equalizer is a matter of connecting RCA's to the RCA Inputs and the RCA outputs to the next Orion amplifier in the signal chain. When the switch is in the COPY position, the RCA output is an identical copy of the input signal. 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 mini- mizes the potential for system noise.

When the switch is in the MASTER position, the RCA outputs are buffered through the gain stage of the amplifier and filtered through the crossover sections of the amplifier. When set this way, the amplifier's gain and crossover settings are sent to other amplifiers down the sig- nal chain. This can be useful for configuring multiple subwoofer amplifiers easily in a large SPL system. All subsequent amplifiers after the master amp will be in the COPY position and have their gains set to zero and all crossovers turned off. The master amplifier will control all the functions of the slave amps via the MASTER RCA output signal.

AMPLIFIER WIRING

Power Connections

Orion 4002 Fuse Size: (2) 20 AMP ATC

Orion 6002 Fuse Size: (1) 60 AMP MAXI

Minimum 4 AWG power and ground cable is recommended for acceptable per- formance.

Fuse power wire prior to wire passing through panels or near sharp edges and less than 18" from battery.

Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

Add extra ground wire (minimum 4 AWG) between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis.

NOTE: The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This helps espe- cially in newer vehicles, where the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer.
