Operator Manual – XR 1001 Crossover 

Copyright© 2012 – Ashly Audio Inc. 

Typical Applications 

The following information will help you make the most of your new crossover: 

Connecting to a Sound System 

Usually, the output signal from a final processing source such as a limiter or equalizer is 
fed to a crossover input and each crossover output feeds a power amplifier channel. 
Sometimes limiters are used on each crossover output to provide more accurate protection. 

Speaker Placement 

To obtain maximum benefit from your crossover, a correctly assembled speaker array is a 
necessity. Low frequency speakers should be grouped as closely together as possible and 
mid and high frequency horns should be stacked on top of one another, not side by side. 
This arrangement insures a tight vertical pattern combined with wide horizontal dispersion 
free from high frequency lobing. If at all possible, speakers in the array should be arranged 
so the drivers and cones are all in the same plane (equal distance from the listener). 

XR 1001 Stereo 2-Way Operation 

The XR 1001 can be used as a stereo 2-way crossover with an optional mono sub output.  
The mono low output is the summed signal from both channel’s low output level controls. 

 

XR 1001 Mono 3-Way Operation 

The XR 1001 can also be used as a mono 3-way crossover by pressing in the Mode switch.  
Use channel 2 input only.  With the Mono 3 Way mode switch pressed in, all active 
outputs will have their status LED light up.  See illustration for proper use and wiring.
