Internal Crossover Configurations

The crossover section of the Orion XTR5001, XTR10001, and XTR15001 amplifiers is continuously variable and extremely flexible.. In addition to the variable built-in low-pass filters, the high-pass crossover incor- porates the Bass Boost feature.. This circuit is designed to optimize the performance of Orion subwoofers in all types of enclosures..

When using Orion loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recom- mended 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 perfor- mance goals.. Refer to your loudspeaker owner’s manual for assistance in choosing the proper crossover frequencies for your system..

WARNING! DO NOT set crossover frequencies lower than the speakers recommended operating range.. This can cause driver failure that is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty..

Low-Pass Crossover

When the switch is to the left (Full position), the low-pass crossover is bypassed.. When the switch is in the middle (12 position), the low-pass crossover is active with a 2nd order (12dB per octave) slope.. When the switch is to the right (24 position), the low-pass crossover is active with a 4th order (24dB per octave) slope.. The low-pass crossover is continu- ously variable from 30Hz to 250Hz..

Remote Gain Operation

NOTE: Do not use the Remote Gain control when you have an expanded system installed (see Line Output Configurations).. The Slave amplifier(s) gain will not be controlled..

The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the XTR power amplifier.. The RGC2 plugs into the amplifier via the 1/8” mini jack plug.. The RGC2 can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level.. The RGC2 can be used as a bass level control when used on an amplifier dedicated to subwoofers..
