US 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. 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.

CUSTOMIZING THE XCARD

The crossover point can be altered by changing the 4 resistor values. Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor value to be placed on the XCard.
