Operation Use of the MONOLITH 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.
Front Panel Controls 40Hz & 80Hz Contour 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 only designed to enhance specific frequency points which your room is contributing or subtracting information. Most rooms will have what is known as a suck-out around 40 or 80 Hz, or may have a room resonance at those frequencies.

Otherwise, press the button to toggle the LED off if RCA connectors are used. Warning: Do not have both the RCA and balanced XLR connectors hooked-up simultaneously and attempt to use this button as an A/B switch.
