4. OPERATIONS

Setting the operating level

The gain controls allow you to set the nominal operating level of the amplifier from
200mV to 8V for RCA inputs or 600mV to 20V for speaker level inputs. This wide
adjustment range accommodates virtually any source unit brand.

Improving bass sound

The amplifiers feature a narrow-frequency band bass boost circuit (known as
"high-Q"). The bass boost control acts much like an equalizer with switchable gain
fixed at 50Hz.
Use this control to tune low-frequency audio response to compensate for a less than
ideal subwoofer enclosure design. The added boost produces rich, full bass tones
that are normally difficult to reproduce in the car audio environment.
Note:
If you don't want to boost the bass frequencies, set this control to minimum.

Designing a more advanced system

Freq (Hz) controls
The high pass crossover frequency is fully adjustable between 35Hz and 250Hz
(35Hz-250Hz on the low-pass crossover XC2110). Use the high-pass/low-pass filter
controls, along with your speaker manufacturer's recommended crossover frequencies,
to quickly design a more advanced system.
X-Over mode switches
These switches are equipped with 12dB per octave electronic filters for precise
frequency attenuation with minimal phase distortion.

Connecting a source unit without RCA outputs

The speaker level inputs provide connections for a high-level stereo source. Use
them if your source unit does not have RCA outputs.
