AMPLIFIER SETTINGS
3IGNAL
The input section of the amplifier consists of gain controls, high pass
and low pass crossovers controls, Intelli-Q control and RCA inputs and
outputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to
most system configurations.
)NPUT
These Orion amplifiers have level adjustments to allow for easy inte-
gration with any source unit. The input sensitivity is a push button
adjustment, with the depressed (in) position giving you a range from
400mV to 8V while in the out position this range is 200mV to 4V. Refer
to Testing the System and Adjusting the Sound of the System sections
of this guide for detailed instructions on setting the gain.
!DJUSTING
Incorporated in the high-pass crossover, Intelli-Q maximizes the
performance of a subwoofer. The high-pass subsonic filter removes
unwanted bass output from the woofer, increasing the output of a
subwoofer by as much as 3 dB due to the increased mechanical power
handling. Depending on the enclosure, using Intelli-Q can increase the
low frequency response by an additional 10dB! The type of enclosure
used and the woofer’s excursion capability determine acceptable
boost levels. Listed next are recommended boost levels for different
enclosure designs.
