On the back panel of the 234/234XL, there are markings to help you con-
nect the source devices and amplifiers to your crossover. To operate the
234/234XL in stereo 3-way operation, follow the top row of markings hori-
zontally along the length of the 234/234XL. For stereo 2-way operation of
the 234/234XL, use the second row of markings directly above the con-
nectors. For mono 4-way operation of the 234/234XL, use the markings
directly below the connectors. The connectors not used in the selected
mode are marked "not used". This designation applies only to that mode
of operation.

the markings above the connectors. To operate the 223/223XL in mono 3-
way mode use the markings below the connectors. The connectors which
are not used in the selected mode are marked "not used". This designa-
tion applies only to that mode of operation.

of the 234/234XL-223/223XL.
