Detailed Adjustments for the Amp Panel

1REMOTE BASS GAIN MODULE JACK

Accepts telephone jack input connection from the remote bass gain module (only works on REAR channel when crossover is set to LP). Set GAIN (8) to max when using the remote. Remote bass gain module is sold separately. See your Authorized Polk AutoSound Dealer or visit the web- store at polkaudio.com.

2FREQUENCY SLOPE TOGGLE

Use this switch to determine the grade of the frequency slope over which the amplifier "rolls off" the frequencies for better blending between highs and lows. Choose either steep crossover slope (24dB/Octave) or a more gentle crossover slope (12dB/Octave).

3FREQUENCY MULTIPLICATION SWITCH

Choose "x1" for lower crossover frequencies(50 to 500Hz), choose “x10” and the crossover frequency will

be multiplied by 10 (500Hz to 5kHz).

4CROSSOVER FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT

When the FREQUENCY MULTIPLICATION SWITCH is set to “x1,” the crossover frequency can be adjusted between 50 to 500Hz. When the FREQUENCY MULTIPLICATION SWITCH is set to “x10,” the crossover frequency can be adjusted between 500Hz to 5kHz.

The crossover frequency adjustment filters out frequencies that you don't want the speaker to reproduce. When the CROSOVER MODE is set to LP it filters out the midrange and high frequencies from the subwoofer. If it is set too high, you’ll hear voices and other midrange sounds coming from the subwoofer and the bass will seem to come only from the rear of the vehicle. If it is set too low, you’ll miss the “kidney punch” kick of the mid-bass. Set the control to 80Hz

– 120Hz and adjust it by ear from there.

When the CROSSOVER MODE is set to HP it filters out bass from your midrange or full range speakers. That takes strain off the speakers, allowing them to play

louder with less distortion. Set the Frequency Control to around 80Hz – 100Hz. If it sounds like you’re losing

too much mid-bass punch, turn the Frequency Control down to 50Hz.

1PRISE POUR LA «COMMANDE À DISTANCE DU GAIN DES GRAVES»

Cette prise (REMOTE) reçoit la fiche-téléphone du module de la « commande à distance du gain des graves » (ne fonctionne que lorsque le séparateur est réglé à LP). Lorsque vous utilisez ce module, réglez le gain (6) au maximum. Le module de « com- mande à distance du gain des graves » (Remote bass gain mod- ule) est offert en option. Consultez votre revendeur agréé Polk AutoSound ou visitez notre magasin en ligne: polkaudio.com.

2COMMUTATEUR DE « PENTE DE FRÉQUENCE » (SLOPE)

Ce commutateur vous permet de déterminer la pente du chevauchement entre les hautes et basses fréquences et d’obtenir ainsi le mélange idéal. La pente de 24dB/Octave est plus raide tandis que la pente de 12dB/Octave est plus graduelle.

3COMMUTATEUR DE « MULTIPLICATION DE FRÉQUENCE »

Sélectionnez « x1 » pour une fréquence de séparation plus basse (50 à 500Hz), sélectionnez « x10 » et la « fréquence de séparation » sera multipliée par 10 (500Hz à 5kHz).

4CONTRÔLE DE LA « FRÉQUENCE DE SÉPARATION » (FREQ)

Lorsque le commutateur de « multiplication de fréquence » est réglé à « x1 », la « fréquence de séparation » (FREQ) peut être ajustée de 50 à 500Hz. Lorsqu’il est réglé à « x10 », la « fréquence de séparation » (FREQ) peut être ajustée de 500Hz à 5kHz.

Le sélecteur du « mode de séparation » permet de filtrer les fréquences qu’un haut-parleur ne doit pas reproduire. Lorsque le sélecteur du « mode de séparation » est à la position « LP », les hautes et les médianes fréquences sont filtrées du subwoofer à partir d’une fréquence réglable. Si le contrôle de la « fréquence de séparation » (FREQ) est trop haut, les graves et médiums- graves sembleront provenir uniquement du subwoofer et de l’ar- rière du véhicule. Si le réglage est trop bas, les médiums-graves manqueront de définition et d’attaque. Réglez la fréquence de séparation entre 80Hz – 120Hz et ajustez à l’oreille selon vos préférences.
