XM6: CONTROLS & INDICATORS

11 Parallel Input Switches – “IN”: Each appropriate switch must be set

to the “IN” position when the source unit does not supply rear or

subwoofer channel outputs. “OUT”: If the source unit has independent

front, rear and/or sub channel outputs, set each switch to the “OUT”

position

12 High-Pass Frequency Selectors – For selection of high-pass crossover 

frequency between 40Hz and 400Hz, 18dB/Octave

13 Frequency Multiplier – To change selected high-pass crossover 

frequencies from 40Hz - 400Hz, to 800Hz - 8000Hz, 18dB/Octave

14 Band Pass Switch – Positioning this switch to the “IN” position reconfig-

ures the “B” channel from a high pass output to a band pass output.

When the “IN” position is selected, the band pass frequency selector is

engaged.

15 Band Pass Frequency Selector – For selection of the top crossover point

of the band-pass frequency range between 300Hz and 3kHz,

18dB/Octave. (The high pass frequency selector must be used to

select the bottom crossover point for the band-pass frequency range.) 

The full band pass frequency range is 40Hz to 3kHz, 18dB/Octave.

16 Subwoofer Frequency Selector – For selection of the low-pass crossover

frequency between 40Hz and 200Hz, 36dB/Octave

17 Bass Shaper Frequency Selector – For selection of low frequency 

equalization point between 40Hz - 100Hz.

18 Bass Shaper Boost Level Control – For adjusting the Bass Shapers

selected equalization frequency level with a maximum boost of 18dB 

19 Phase Control Switch – Positioning the switch to the “180” 

position shifts the right output signals on channels “A” and/or “B” 

180 degrees out of phase relative to their left output signals

20 Sub Phase Control Switch – Positioning the switch to the “180” 

position shifts the subwoofer output signals 180 degrees out of phase

relative to channels “A” and “B” output signals

21 Independent Output Level Controls – Independent left and right output 

signal level adjustments can be made for accurate stereo balance and

imaging

22 Subwoofer Output Level Control – For adjusting the low pass output 

signal level

23 Power Indicator – This indicator lights up when the internal switching

power supply is activated and the unit is operational
