SET UP AND ADJUSTMENT
The gain control is NOT a volume control. The gain control adjusts the amount of signal
required to drive the amplifier to full output. With the gain at maximum (full clockwise
rotation), less signal voltage is required to drive the amp to full output. With the gain at
minimum (full counter-clockwise rotation), more signal voltage is required to drive the
Gain
amp to full output.
The low pass crossover, or filter, is designed to remove high frequency information from
a speaker. This is generally used to prevent mid-bass speakers or subwoofers from trying
to reproduce mid and high frequency information that they are not designed to reproduce.
The crossover frequency is adjustable from 50Hz to 350Hz, and uses an 24dB per octave
slope. Frequency selection is made by rotating the dial; clockwise raises the frequency
and counter-clockwise lowers the frequency. Most subwoofers should be set between 80
and 100Hz, depending on how low the mid-bass or midrange drivers are capable of playing.
Boost should be used with discretion, keeping in mind that electronically enhanced boost
places an additional load on the amplifier and the speakers they are connected to.
