Turn On Amplifier, Check red LED* it should be on, Adjust Amplifier Output Gain Pot, After Fine Tuning the System: Remove protective covering from amplifier and clean per the mainta+ nence section on page & of the Owner's Manual, Attach cover to base, w e e The jumper labeled Lowpass Slope Select allows either $! or !" dB per octaves slopes to be selected for the Lowpass function of the x$(($, ie d e The Line Out Mode Select jumper controls the function of the on+board RCA line outputs and offers two (!) modes of operation: Bypass and high pass, i e e The High pass Slope Select jumper provides independent $! or !" dB per octave slope selection for the High pass function available at the RCA Line Outputs, The High and Low Pass frequencies are determined by the Frequency Modules (SIPs) installed in the three (') SIP sockets pictured on the insert, One SIP determines the Lowpass frequency* while two (!) SIPs determine the High pass frequency, Each frequency setting is independent and may be changed to suit your needs, Crossover Frequencies & SIP's The frequency (SIP) "ID Code" printed on the SIP and the associated frequency value is detailed below, The x$(($ is shipped from the factory with &( Hz high pass and LowPass frequency modules (SIP) installed, To change a frequency module* simply remove the resistor SIP and replace it with the appropriate SIP value to achieve the desired frequency, CROSSOVER FREQUENCIES & SIP'S SIP Number !!" $'" $$" $(" %.' )%' !#' $)' $(' #)! !"! $.! $)!
