Observe the labels above the Inputs and Outputs for Stereo operation.
CHANNEL 1 INPUT: Plug the left output of the mixer, equalizer or other signal source to this Input. Refer to 'AC 23B
Connection' on page Manual-1 for wiring details.
CHANNEL 2 INPUT: Plug the right output of the mixer, equalizer or other signal source to this Input.
HIGH OUTPUTS: Connect the CHANNEL 1 HIGH OUT to the left channel input of the high frequency amp, and the
CHANNEL 2 HIGH OUT to the right channel input of the high frequency amp.
MID OUTPUTS: Connect the CHANNEL 1 MID OUT to the left channel of the mid frequency amp, and the CHANNEL
2 MID OUT to the right channel of the mid frequency amp.
LOW OUTPUTS: Connect the CHANNEL 1 and 2 LOW OUTS to the left and right channels of the low frequency
amplifier, respectively. If you need a summed Mono Low Ouput, see 'Monoing the Low Outputs' on page Manual-7.
STEREO/MONO switch: Set this switch to the STEREO position.
2-WAY/3-WAY switch: Converts the outputs from Stereo 3-Way to Stereo 2-Way. Be sure the switches are in the 3-WAY
position.
POWER input connector: Use only a model RS 1 or other power supply approved by Rane. This unit is supplied with a
remote power supply suitable for connection to this input jack. This is not a telephone jack. The power requirements call for
an 18-24 VAC center-tapped transformer only. Using any other type of unapproved supply may damage the unit and void
the warranty. Two years parts and labor is worth safeguarding.
Chassis ground point: A #6-32 screw is used for chassis grounding purposes. Always connect the crossover chassis to the
amplifier chassis. See 'Chassis Grounding' on page Manual-3 for details.
