where the low frequencies sent to the speakers begin to be reduced in
volume.
Whenrunningtheamplifierinthe4-channelmodeyoushouldsetthe
RearCrossovercontrolaccordingtothesizeofthespeakersconnected
to the amplifier channels – the smaller the speakers the higher you
need to set the control to protect the speakers from damage. After
initially setting the crossover frequency, listen to music with strong bass
that you are familiar with. If the speakers sound distorted or distressed, move the crossover frequency control to a higher setting to eliminate the
distortion/ distress. The illustration to the right shows the recommended crossover filter frequency ranges for different speaker sizes.
