Pressing the PEQ button places the current preset in Edit mode and jumps the LCD screen to a pre-se-
lected parametric EQ (bands 1-6). Subsequent button presses advances the display to the next output
channel (OUT1 to OUT6). Use the <SELECT > buttons to navigate between the PARA EQ BAND (1-6),
Type, Frequency, Q and Gain parameters.
Adjust the values of each parameter using the up/down VALUE arrows.

The Dx46's crossover is an advanced frequency division process that is accomplished by applying a va-
riety of high-pass and low-pass filters to a predetermined set of crossover points. Speaker systems are
generally made up of several drivers that are dedicated to a specific range of frequencies that result in
the efficient reproduction of the audio spectrum and a smooth sound. The Dx46 crossover routes fre-
quencies to the appropriate drivers to accurately reproduce sound. The crossover network can also be
used to insure that low-frequency energy is not accidently routed to the mid-range or tweeter drivers that may result
in potential damage. Available Dx46 crossover parameters are Type and Frequency.
To access the Crossover screen, press the X-Over button. Subsequent button presses will toggle the dis-
play between OUT1 to OUT6. Use the Value Up and Down buttons to navigate between the X-Over Hi-
pass, X-Over Lopass, X-Over Delay and FIR Filter screens.
The Dx46 Crossover offers a variety of Hipass and Lopass filters depending on the configuration output selected
along with a variety of selectable filters and frequency ranges that are adjustable using the up/down VALUE arrows.
