SYSTEM LAYOUT
The primary function of the crossover is to filter the audio signal. Basically, the OPTIXA6B
divides the audio signal into six separate parts….Subwoofer, Mid Bass, Band Pass 3, Band
Pass 2, Band Pass 1 and high.(See Figure #1).Although the OPTIXA6B has rather simple
connections, it is important for you to have a general understanding of the operating range of
your system to properly setup the system as well as to make the final adjustments.

In order to reproduce the music in which it was recorded, your audio system should have the
ability to recreate all audio information from 20Hz up to 20KHz (This is known as human audible
range).One of the most important factors in sound quality is the over all balance of the
frequency reponse,better known as the linearity of the sound. In a perfectly balance system, the
low to high frequencies are reproduced without missing information. Unfortunately there are
many factors that can cause loss of frequencies in your system. Some loss may be caused due
your speaker’s frequency response, crossover points, and level adjustment.
Before you set up the system it is best to first layout your system maintaining the speakers
operating range. The following graph will give a general idea the Subwoofer, Mid Bass, Mid
range and High operating range for the OPTIXA6B crossovers.
