ACTIVE STEREO CROSSOVER
There is a SUB BASS OUT with a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 100
Hz; a FULL OUT with a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 65 kHz; and a
TWEETER OUT with a bandwidth of 7 kHz to 65 kHz. The
SUB BASS and TWEETER OUTS have front panel controls
allowing l6 dB of boost and 60 dB of cut, while the FULL
output has a front panel control ranging from 6 dB of boost to
-60 dB cut. The Input signal is thus divided into a buffered
and subsonic filtered full-spectrum output to feed the main
system crossover, as well as two special purpose low and high
end drive signals to feed additional power amplifiers con-
nected to subwoofers and tweeter arrays. Additionally, the
SUB BASS OUT has a pre-level SUB BASS INSERT loop.
