The Crossover is used to divide the input signal into several frequency bands. This allows
the user to drive the speaker in its optimum frequency range and send each output separately
for more efficient use of amplifier power. The 260 DriveRack Crossover can be configured as
a 2x3, 4, 5, or 6. Appendix A.5 illustrates each of the available crossovers. The High-Pass or
Low-Pass filter being edited is indicated by the highlighted edge in the graphics area.

Type

Riley type with slope of 12 or 24 dB/Octave.
Gain
Sets the level of the selected crossover band. Range is from Infinity to +20dB.
In addition to the pre-crossover EQ options within the signal path, the 260 DriveRack also offers
