Warranty Regulation - HELIX H 1000 ESPRIT Instruction Manual

the H 1000 ESPRIT amplifier offers a wide range of indi-
vidual subwoofer sound tuning. Switch 14 has to be in
position B or C.
16 Phase control
This control enables the bass signal to be shifted by 180° in
order to achieve optimum delay equalization with the other
channels. (see fig. 1)
17 Setting the center frequencies
Control 17 can be used to select a frequency of
50 - 150 Hz on the preset low-pass frequency band (see
control 22). This center frequency can be raised using con-
trol 26, by between 0 and 9 dB. This is desirable if certain
frequencies of the subwoofer are to be enhanced (kick
bass) or corrected. (see fig. 2)
18 Band width adjustment
Control 18 can be used to enhance the Q of the frequency set
at control 17. The resultant band width can be infinitely varied
from 10 to 110 Hz. (see fig. 3)
19 Level control for raising the cut-off frequencies
This control enables the center frequency set at control 17
to be raised from between 0 and 9 dB. (see fig. 4)
Important notice!
Incorrect adjustment of the parametric equalizer can have a
considerable deleterious effect on sound quality. In such
cases, consult your HELIX dealer. If this is not immediately
possible, turn controls 16 to 19 completely counter-clock-
wise or turn switch 15 to position A so that the amplifier
operates in the linear mode.
Adjustable frequency crossover
The H 1000 ESPRIT has an integrated, adjustable active
crossover. For operation position C must be chosen for
switch 15.
20 Switch for high pass, low pass or band pass
Position A: band pass
Position B: low pass
Position C: high pass
21 Active high pass filter
With this control the frequency range of the amplifier is
infinitely variable from 50 to 250 Hz as high pass. Chose
position C for switch 20 or position A in the band pass
range.
22 Active low pass filter
With this control the frequency range of the amplifier is
infinitely variable from 50 to 250 Hz as low pass. Chose
position C for switch 20 or position A in the band pass
range.
21 and 22 Active band pass filter
The frequency crossover is in band passs operation when
switch 20 is in position A. Control 21 is used for high pass
setting and control 22 for low pass setting.
Attention: Overlapping frequency settings will result in a
very low signal level that cannot be sufficiently amplified.
For this reason the low pass frequency must at least double
the high pass frequency.
For example:
If high pass is set on 50 Hz, low pass must at least be set
on 100 Hz (2 x 500 Hz).
