X-OVER (FRONT/ REAR)
HPF - FLAT - LPF is selectable. Select FLAT for full
range signal. Select HPF (High Pass Filter) or LPF
(Low Pass Filter) to activate the internal cross-
over which is continuously variable from 40Hz to
400Hz using FREQ
SENS
Used to adjust the input sensitivity (Gain) to
match the input level signal. Continuously vari-
able from 0.2V to 10V. Adjust this with the help
of a DMM and a test signal or an Oscilloscope.
See System Tuning section for setup instructions.
FREQ
Used to adjust the crossover frequency when cross-
over is set to HPF or LPF. Continuously variable from
40Hz to 400Hz
SUB
LPF - Low Pass Filter variable from 50Hz-250Hz
Phase - Variable phase control from 0° - 180°
Sonic - Sub-sonic lter variable from 10Hz-55Hz
Boost - Bass frequency boost from 0-18dB
REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL
This port is for connecting the remote level control
knob. This allows up to 20dB of volume adjustment.
Level control is for SUB channel only.
CONFIG
Select either 2CH inputs or 5CH inputs depending on
your source unit capabilities. Select 2CH if only 2 chan-
nels of signal are available, this helps avoid having
to use Y-connectors to drive all channels with only 2
channels of signal available.
LOW INPUTS (FRONT/REAR/SUB)
Connect preamp signal cables from head unit
to these inputs. For a high-level signal, cut RCA
connectors and connect to speaker wires.
POWER/PROTECT LED
Amplier status indicator. Blue indicates all systems
working and amplier is on. Red indicates protection
mode, from Thermal Shut Down or Short Circuit (See
Troubleshooting)
