REAR PANEL: STEREO 3-WAY INSTALLATION
Observe the labels above the Inputs and Outputs for Stereo operation.
ቢ CHANNEL 1 INPUT: These ¼" Inputs accept either balanced TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) or unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve) plugs.
Connect the output of the mixer, equalizer or other signal source to this Input. Note: Use this input only if you are running
two separate channels from the mixer or other source. Connect this Input to the left channel output of the mixer, equalizer or
other signal source. If you are running two speaker systems from a single mono signal, omit this Input and use only the
CHANNEL 2 INPUT. See #2 below.
ባ CHANNEL 2 INPUT: For true stereo operation, connect this Input to the right channel output of the mixer, equalizer or
other signal source. NOTE: Two separate speaker systems may be independently operated from a single mono source by
using only the CHANNEL 2 INPUT and omitting the Channel 1 Input. As long as nothing is plugged into the Channel 1
Input, CHANNEL 2 will drive BOTH Channels of the AC 23 internally.
ቤ HIGH FREQUENCY OUTPUTS: These are ¼" TS (tip-sleeve) unbalanced Output jacks. Connect the CHANNEL 1
HIGH OUT to the left channel input of the high frequency amplifier, and the CHANNEL 2 HIGH OUT to the right channel
input of the high frequency amp.
ብ MID FREQUENCY OUTPUT: Connect the CHANNEL 1 MID OUT to the left channel of the mid frequency amplifier,
and the CHANNEL 2 MID OUT to the right channel of the mid amplifier.
ቦ LOW FREQUENCY OUTPUTS: Connect the CHANNEL 1 and 2 LOW OUTS to the left and right channels of the low
frequency amplifier, respectively.
ቧ 2-WAY/3-WAY SWITCHES: Converts the Outputs from Stereo 3-Way to Stereo 2-Way. Be sure the switches are in the
3-WAY position.
ቨ Power input connector: Use only a model RS 1 or other power supply approved by Rane. This unit is supplied with an 18
VAC center tapped remote power supply suitable for connection to this input jack. Consult the factory for a replacement or
subsitution.
ቩ Chassis ground point: A #6-32 screw is used for chassis grounding purposes. Always connect the crossover chassis to the
amplifier chassis. See CHASSIS GROUNDING note on page Manual-7 for details.
