6. USING CROSSOVER, PHASE, LEVEL &
REMOTE CONTROLS ON THE REAR PANEL
On the rear panel you will find controls for the CROSSOVER frequency, PHASE, and
LEVEL, plus a jack for connecting a REMOTE BYPASS footswitch. The following tips are
intended to assist you at using these controls in the best manner.
LEVEL
Input Sensitivity control from -60 dBu to +16 dBu relative to 775 mV when used via
the balanced XLR input or -60 dBV to +6 dBV relative to 1 V when used via the un-balan-
ced RCA input.
CROSSOVER
The upper frequency limit of the unit’s reproduction band is variable and can be set
to 80 Hz or 120 Hz. The 80 Hz setting is recommended for monitors that are suited for
use without a subwoofer. The 120 Hz setting designed for using smaller monitor
speakers or for the “.1” LFE [Low Frequency Effects] channel for monitoring according
to cinema standards.
In many cases, choosing the lower crossover frequency delivers tighter bass and
cleaner mid-range response.
The BYPASS position is suited for systems that utilize an external bass management
or crossovers within other parts of a playback system. This could include monitor
controllers or surround sound plugins for DAWs.
PHASE
With the PHASE switch you can alter the phase of the sound generated by the subwoofe r
relative to the signals going to the monitor speakers. That means to change the polarity
of sound coming from the subwoofer.
Depending on the geometrical setup of your system, the subwoofer and monitor
spea kers and the properties of the monitor speakers connected, either 0° or 180° may
be the better position.
