The mode switches on the front panel of the unit are used to select one
of two modes of operation in the A 5350. There could be disastrous conse-
quences if the crossover were improperly setup or the switches were mistak-
enly pushed during the regular operation of a sound system. Therefore great
care should be taken when setting these switches. There is a mode diagram
on the back panel to help you understand at a glance how this is done.
The following steps should be taken in setting up your system:
• Know the loudspeaker manufacturer’s requirements regarding the amplifi-
cation needs of your particular speaker system. Follow the manufacturer’s
guidelines carefully, as Altronics is not responsible for damage relating to
improper setup or implementation of the A 5350.
• Without any audio or power connections in place, use the switches on the
crossover to set it to the proper mode of operation; either stereo 2-way or
mono 3-way for the A 5350.
• Use the literature that came with your speaker system to properly set up
the mode of operation and crossover frequencies to the manufacturer‘s
specifications.
For stereo 2-way operation use the markings above the connectors. To oper-
ate the A 5350 in mono 3-way mode use the markings below the connectors.
The connectors which are not used in the selected mode are marked “not
used”. This designation applies only to that mode of operation.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
• Before connecting anything to the crossover, make sure it is not connected
to any power source.
• Be sure that the source device (equalizer, compressor, mixing console,
etc.) for the A 5350 is turned off. Connect the output(s) of the source
device to the inputs of the crossover, following the rear panel markings
carefully.
