REAR PANEL: ALTERNATE MONO 4-WAY INSTALLATION

Note: The internal switching in the AC 23 will result in a Mono 4-Way configuration with the crossover
sections arranged SUB, LOW, MID & HIGH from left to right across the front panel. By connecting a patch
cable from the CHANNEL 1 HIGH OUT to the CHANNEL 2 INPUT, the LOW/MID crossover range changes
from 70 Hz - 1 kHz to a higher range of 190 Hz - 7 kHz.Set the CHANNEL 1 switch to 3-WAY, and the
CHANNEL 2 switch to 2-WAY.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE IN ALTERNATE MONO 4-WAY MODE WITH CHANNEL 1 INPUT UNCON-
NECTED. OTHERWISE A POSSIBLY DESTRUCTIVE OSCILLATION MAY OCCUR.

CAUTION: NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG THE PATCH CORD WITH THE AC 23 OR AMPLIFIER POWER ON,
OTHERWISE POSSIBLE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO YOUR SPEAKERS.

MONO INPUT: These ¼" Inputs accept either balanced TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) or unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve) plugs.

Connect the output from your mixer or other signal source only to the CHANNEL 1 INPUT for Mono operation; do not use
the Channel 2 input. Note: For this alternate Mono 4-Way installation, connect a patch cord from the CHANNEL 1 HIGH
OUT to the CHANNEL 2 INPUT as shown. See warnings above.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT: These are ¼" TS (tip-sleeve) unbalanced Output jacks. Connect the SUB OUT to the input of

the subwoofer amplifier (or bass bin amp).

LOW FREQUENCY OUTPUT: Connect the MID OUT to the input of the low frequency (or mid-bass) amp.

MID FREQUENCY OUTPUT: Connect the HI MID OUT to the input of the mid frequency amplifier.

Hl FREQUENCY OUTPUT: Connect the HIGH OUT to the input of the high frequency amplifier.

2-WAY/3-WAY SWITCHES: Converts each channel from 3-Way to 2-Way. For this configuration, slide the CHANNEL 1

switch to 3-WAY, and the CHANNEL 2 switch to 2-WAY.

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 Rane for a replacement or
substitution.

Chassis ground point: A #6-32 screw is used for chassis grounding purposes. Always connect the crossover chassis to the

amplifier chassis. See the CHASSIS GROUNDING note on page Manual-7 for details.
