SUPER-X PRO CX3400 User Manual 3.4 Setting the crossover frequencies The use of extremely high-grade potentiometers made it unnecessary to install fixed-frequency plug-in modules. Thus, you have a wide range of setting options available that even more expensive crossover networks hardly give you. The CX3400 works in two specific frequency ranges: 44 though 930 Hz and 440 Hz through 9.3 kHz. The Linkwitz-Riley filters employed in the SUPER-X PRO feature a slope of 24 dB/octave.
SUPER-X PRO CX3400 User Manual Problems will be encountered only with unconventional setups (e.g. when the woofers are placed underneath the stage, while the midrange/tweeter systems are flown above it) or when long woofer horns are used.
