OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The PowerShape 2.1 provides Left, Right and Sub speaker level, terminal block outputs. A wide range of volume
and processing controls are available to tune the system.
EQ
A stereo 5-Band parametric EQ is
available on the master output. This
audio processing shapes the overall
frequency response of the PS-2.1.
CROSSOVER
When using both high frequency and
subwoofer speakers, a high pass filter
can be inserted on the left/right speaker
outputs and a low pass filter can be
inserted on the subwoofer output.
Additional controls include a 40Hz high
pass filter and speaker offsets that can
be used to balance the levels of different
speakers in a system.
COMPRESSOR
A stereo compressor is available on the
master output. This audio processing
reduces the dynamic range of the
PS-2.1.
