    CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT Your Directed Audio power amplifier needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. These are some guidelines to follow when fine-tuning the amplifier. For full-range and simultaneous stereo/mono bass applications, the crossover selection switch should be set to FLAT.
