dX3000 Component Tweeter Hook-up

When purchased as a separate unit, the dX3000 tweeter includes a crossover network integrated into the hook-up wires. This high pass filter allows the dX3000 to be used with other components. It is important to maintain correct polarity. The red wire connects to the positive (+) amplifier terminal and the black to the negative (-) amplifier terminal.

If your system contains an active crossover, you may bypass the in-line crossover and wire the tweeter directly to the output terminals of an amplifier which has a high pass filter (crossover) on its input. The minimum crossover point should be 2 kHz at 12dB per octave.

DO NOT USE THE TWEETER WITHOUT A CROSSOVER NETWORK.

Damage to the tweeter from thermal overload will result without the protection provided by a crossover and will void your warranty.
