U S I N G T H E XCARD

The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an XCard and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range operation. The 100Hz XCard shipped with your amplifier is set for Full Range. Each crossover card has two faces: one face operates Full Range, the other has arrows to indicate the edge for selecting HP (high-pass) or LP (low- pass) operation. Orient the card with the desired operating edge, indicated by the arrow, toward the socket terminals inside the ampli- fier. Firmly, but carefully, plug the card into the socket.

The crossover point can be altered by changing the resistor value. Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor value to be placed on the XCard.
