If the 700-HP shuts down again after cooling and re- applying AC power, contact Meyer Sound for repair information. Despite the 700-HP’s filtering, extensive use or a dusty op- erating environment can allow dust to accumulate along the path of the airflow, preventing normal cooling.

The additional phase shift introduced deteriorates the impulse response and higher roll-off does not improve crossover interaction. In fact, it is highly recommended that the crossover/filter be set to emulate the low-cut LD-1A/LD-2 characteristics themselves, as shown in Table 5.4.
