REAR PANEL CONTROLS

1. Fan
This is a variable speed cooling fan. Cool air enters the amplifier through the fan ports located
on the front of the amplifier chassis, be sure not to block these ports when installing the
amplifier or other associated equipment.
2. Input connectors
Connect the input source to these electronic balanced Combination connectors using either
XLR or 1/4" TRS plugs. The 1/4" TRS and XLR plug configured as follows: Pin 2 (Tip) hot, Pin
3 (Ring) cold, and Pin 1 (Sleeve) ground. We recommend the use of balanced three-conductor
cabling wherever possible. Unbalanced two-conductor 1/4" plugs can also be inserted into
these inputs, but you will get better signal quality and less outside noise and hum if you use
balanced lines. Stereo signal should be connected to both the Channel 1 and Channel 2 input
jacks. When operating the CV-5000 in Bridged Mono or Parallel modes, use the Channel 1
input jack only.
3. Link connectors
These jacks are used to send a parallel signal form the channel Link jacks to another device
or amplifier.
4. High Pass Filter (HPF) switch.
These slide switches are used to activate the built-in High Pass Filter.
The HPF rolls off signals below 30Hz or 50Hz. This improves bass performance by limiting
sub-audio cone motion, making more power available for the speaker's rated frequency
range. When the filter is turn off, a 5 Hz roll off protects against DC or deep sub-audio inputs.
