Front Panel Controls 25 & 50 Hz Controls These controls allow you to tailor the music according to your room resonances. These controls do not change the crossover frequency or the overall output of the woofer, they are designed to enhance specific frequency points to which your room is contributing or subtracting information. Most rooms will have what is known as a suck-out around 25 or 50 Hz, or Boost/Cut of EXOS at 25 Hz and 25 Hz may have a room resonance at those frequencies.
Input When lit, indicates that balanced inputs are in use by the EXOS crossover. This button should be pressed to light the indicator LED if you are using balanced XLR connectors. Otherwise, press the button to toggle the LED off if RCA connectors are used. Warning. All outputs are always on. Do not have both the RCA and balanced XLR connectors hookedup simultaneously and attempt to use this button as an A/B switch. You will have degraded performance and possibly damage your equipment.

Operation Use of the STATEMENT EXOS crossover will result in substantial improvements in all aspects of your system's performance. Bass will be more extended with more impact and control. Special bass contour controls allow you to tailor the bass response to suit your particular room environment or listening tastes. The crossover region between the woofer and electrostatic panel is optimized, thus making the system blend much more homogeneous. Highs are much more extended, detailed and effortless.
