The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an
XCard and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range
operation. Each crossover card has two faces: one face operates
Full Range, the other has arrows to indicate the edge for selecting
HP (high-pass) or LP (low-pass) operation. Orient the card with
the desired operating edge, indicated by the arrow, toward the
socket terminals inside the amplifier. Firmly, but carefully, plug
the card into the socket.
The crossover point can be altered by changing the resistor value.
Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor value
to be placed on the XCard.
