OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE SETTING UP The XO Series Crossovers are easy to install and operate. Before plugging in the XO Series Crossovers, or any electrical audio device, be sure that the power switch is in the off position, the volume control is all the way down (at 0 level) and all audio connections are made. After power-up, you will need to set up the system; setting the crossover frequencies. Avoid distortion (or overdriving the input) as it can damage your system in the long term.
XO Series Crossover Adjustments: • The XO Series Crossovers are ideal tools to make set up and operation of your system easy and accurate. • Your best starting place is to follow the loudspeaker manufacturer ’s recommended crossover points. • Adjust the crossover points of the High Pass and Low Pass outputs to match the frequencies recommended by the manufacturer. • You will need to determine the correct output level of the low pass, the high pass and subwoofer outputs.
OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE Tuning the Room: A continuously variable frequency crossover is a very valuable tool for the traveling musician. It allows you to get the best sound in a variety of venues. As we know, all rooms are not created equal. They have their own personality. That is to say, your sound system will not sound the same from room to room. Using equalisers and crossovers correctly will help you maintain “your sound”.
