CROSSOVER AND FILTER ADJUSTMENTS The crossover and filter gain adjust- ments can be performed two different ways, by using a piece of audio test equipment called an RTA (Real Time Analyzer) or by listening to a familiar piece of music. The RTA is most commonly used to achieve the flattest possible system response in preparation for a sound-off competition.
