 5.  Crossover:

 This button allows the amplifier’s internal low-pass filter to be 

defeated when using an external crossover, or when the crossover is not 

needed. When defeated (off), the subwoofer output will play the full-range 

of the audio signal. This button has no effect on the high level inputs and 

outputs shown in figure 2, #10 and #11. The high level output (figure 2, 

#10) has a 100Hz high pass filter and is not adjustable or defeatable. 

 6.  Crossover  Frequency  Control:

  The  variable  crossover  frequency 

control allows you to set the point of the low-pass frequencies being 

reproduced by the amplifier anywhere from 40Hz-180Hz. Try an initial 

setting of the crossover frequency control at the midway (12 o’clock) 

setting. Increasing the crossover frequency will produce more mid-bass 

output from the amplifier.

7. 

Master Volume Control:

 This dial allows you to adjust the output level 

of the subwoofer to match the audio system. For an initial setting, turn the 

volume control up one quarter of a turn (9 o’clock) position). The volume 

control may be adjusted while listening to match the subwoofer output 

level with the rest of the system.

 

REMINDER

–The volume control should be at the minimum setting (all the way 

counter-clockwise) before plugging the amplifier into an A/C wall outlet.
