Operational Procedure

4-Way Amplifier Systems

Details the setup and frequency/slope selection for 4-way amplifier systems, noting the 18dB/oct slope is usually best.

3-Way Amplifier Systems

Selection of Crossover Frequencies Between Low and Low Mid-Range Frequencies (63Hz-630Hz) and Between High Mid-Range and High Frequencies (1.6kHz-16kHz)

Instructions for connecting amplifiers and selecting crossover frequencies/slopes for LOW, MID-HIGH, and HIGH outputs.

Selection of Crossover Frequencies Between Low and Low Mid-Range Frequencies (63Hz-630Hz) and Between Low Mid-Range and High Mid-Range Frequencies (320Hz-3.2kHz)

Guidance for LOW, MID-LOW, and MID-HIGH outputs, setting specific slope controls to FLAT for certain configurations.
