USER MANUAL - ANDANTE ACTIVE SPEAKERS Functional Description Andante speakers offer a user interface which resembles a basic 3-channel mixer. While the main input (CH1) is supposed to be a mono signal, the auxiliary inputs (CH2 and CH3) can be stereo signals, of which it can be decided whether they are summed to mono and played by the internal speaker or whether the left channel is played by the internal speaker and the right channel is sent to a 2nd speaker.

USER MANUAL - ANDANTE ACTIVE SPEAKERS CH2 RCA Audio Input. This is a pair of RCA sockets to connect regular stereo audio equip- ment. Note that this input is disabled when a connector is inserted into the CH2 TRS audio input (11).
USER MANUAL - ANDANTE ACTIVE SPEAKERS Output High Pass filter. This removes all frequencies below 120Hz with an 18dB roll-off from the internal speaker. Main purpose is to remove low-frequency content when operating with an additional subwoofer. This high-pass filter complements the low-pass filter (15) for the Link output (16), so that the internal speaker does not carry content below 120Hz, while a subwoofer connected to the Link output (16) carries all frequencies below 120Hz.
