CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION

The connections to the crossover are simple. It is suggested to use a high quality
14 gauge or larger speaker wire for the connection to the amplifier and the mid-
bass driver. For the tweeter it is recommended that a high quality 16 gauge or
larger speaker wire be used. The actual connections to the crossover can be made
two ways, 1- strip the wire back approx .25" and insert into terminal block and
tighten, 2- Crimp or solder a terminal to the end of the wire and insert into
terminal block and tighten.
The XS crossovers are equipped with multiple adjustments for tailoring the sound
output to compensate for different mounting locations and acoustic
environments.
Adjustments are as follows:
TWEETERFILTER- This jumper allows you to adjust the filter slope between second
order to first order.
TWEETER CONTOUR- These two jumpers allow you to vary the crossover
frequency and output level of the tweeter.
MID-BASS CONTROL-This jumper allows you to select a low pass filter or to bypass
the low pass filter.
