Setting The Crossover; Setting The Bass Boost; Final System Checks - Clarion XC2510 Owner's Manual

3. Turn the source unit on.
4. Set all tone or equalization controls to flat positions and turn loudness off.
5. Play music content and set the volume control to 75% of full level.
Note:
If the system uses an equalizer, set all frequency controls to the flat
position.
6. Slowly increase the gain control. Stop when you hear a slight audio distortion.

Setting the crossover

Clarion amplifiers feature fully-adjustable crossovers.
1. The XC2410 is equipped with high-pass crossovers, the XC2110 is equipped with
low-pass crossovers, and the XC2510 is equipped with high-pass crossovers on
channels 1-4, and low-pass crossover on channel 5.
2. Using the Freq (Hz) control, select the frequency.

Setting the bass boost

1. Initially set the bass boost control to off.
2. Listen to a variety of music styles (for example, rock, rap, etc.) and switch the
bass boost control on until you notice an increase in low bass response.
If you hear a pop caused by speaker overexertion, lower the
bass boost to prevent damage to the speaker.

Final system checks

1. Start the engine and turn on the source unit. (Please make sure vehicle is
outdoors or has adequate ventilation for exhaust fumes)
2. After a two-second delay, slowly increase the volume control and listen to the
audio.
If you hear any noise, static, distortion or no sound at all, check the connections
and refer to Troubleshooting. Depending on your system, the volume may become
quite loud even at low level settings. Until you get an "audio feel" for the system's
power, use care when adjusting the controls.
3. Turn the balance controls to their extreme positions and listen to the results. Audio
output should match control settings (audio from the left speaker when balance is
left).
4. Increase the volume and verify that the amplifier reproduces the audio at full
frequencies without distortion.
If you hear distortion check the connections and verify that the gain control is set
correctly. Another cause of distortion could be underpowered or damaged
speakers. Refer to Troubleshooting.
