Our award winning engineering team utilizes innovative technology to consistently deliver Absolutely State of the Art performance, sound quality, reliability, and value.

  • Page 4: Why Is Maxxbass Better

    recommended in two configurations. (Please see Wiring Configurations for more details.) 1) Front Stereo Configuration One MaxxBass ® Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response on only the front speakers. This is recommended to improve bass imaging in high performance systems with rear mounted subwoofers.

  • Page 5: How Does Maxxbass ® Work

    This is accomplished using the science of psychoacoustics on how we perceive sound. By building audio systems optimized for how we hear sound, significant performance improvements can be obtained. This is analogous to designing and building televisions that only display red, green and blue dots. When we view these displays our visual perception combines these dots to make a full color spectrum without needing to reproduce all the necessary color frequencies.

    WIRING CONFIGURATIONS The MaxxBass Processor is recommended in two different configurations. ® 1. Front Stereo Configuration The figure below illustrates the wiring for a front stereo configuration. One MaxxBass ® Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response only on the front speakers.

  • Page 10: Wiring Procedures

    2. Dual Stereo Configurations For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two MaxxBass Processors, one for the front speakers and one for the rear ® speakers. The units should be wired between the in-dash CD Receiver and the power amplifiers as shown below.
  • Page 11 The ground wire should be of the same gauge wire as the power wire. As a rule of thumb, use as short length of wire as possible. Find a location near the MaxxBass Processor that is metal ( the floor is ideal) and clean an area about ®...

  • Page 12: Input

    INPUT To use Speaker Level Inputs (common ground head units only), connect RCA plugs to the front or rear speaker leads as shown. NOTE: It is important to connect an input signal to both RCA input jacks if a stereo amplifier is used, otherwise the connected channel receives full range and the disconnected channel will receive only the harmonics.

  • Page 13: Maxxbass Processor Settings

    MAXXBASS ® PROCESSOR SETTINGS To achieve proper performance it is important to set or tune the settings on the MaxxBass ® Processor to the final system. This section recommends initial settings and the users can then further adjust these for optimal listening. 1.

    TROUBLESHOOTING NO SOUND Is the POWER LED lit? Check Input cables for signal by Connecting them straight to the Subwoofer amplifier. ANY SOUND NOW? Problem is in the Crossover. See your local Authorized Orion Dealer. SOUND IN ONE CHANNEL ONLY Reverse left and right RCA outputs for one band (i.e.-subwoofers) SOUND IS NOW IN OPPOSITE CHANNEL...
  • Page 15 OPPOSITE CHANNEL Reverse RCAs to head unit (Check Balance Control) SOUND IS NOW IN OPPOSITE CHANNEL Problem is in the head unit. LOW OUTPUT FROM ONE BAND Check crossover frequencies and check gain control on the effected amplifier(s). STILL LOW OUTPUT - See your local Authorized Orion dealer. SAME CHANNEL Problem is in the Crossover.
