You have acquired an extremely simple to use and universal stereo crossover with an integral BBE® Sonic MaximizerTM. Getting Started READ BEFORE USING Before starting to use the crossover in your sound system there is some information you should know and procedures you should follow. Caution : To prevent malfunctioning and/or possible equipment damage: Before plugging the unit into the power source: (1) the voltage selector switch should be set for the correct voltage for your area (115V or 230V) and (2) all equipment connected to the crossover outputs should be turned off or all the inputs turned down. FEATURE LIST · Single rack unit (1U) · Robust and compact design · XLR inputs and 1/4" inputs/outputs. · Designed for the most precise accurate control · Top audio performances with high slew rate circuity · Over than 115dB dynamic range for transparent sound · Manufactured Under ISO9001 Certified management system SONIC MAXIMIZER Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by speaker differs significantly from the sound produced by the original source. In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus delegated to a position of secondary importance in audio system design. However, phase and amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. Research shows that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic components of a given musical note or sound. These relationships define a sound's "sound". When these complex relationships pass through a speaker, the proper order is lost. A lower frequency may reach the listener's ear first or perhaps simultaneously with that of a higher frequency. In some cases, the fundamental components may be so time-shifted that they reach the listener's ear ahead of some or all of the harmonic components. This change in the phase and amplitude relationship on the harmonic and fundamental frequencies is technically called "envelope distortion. " The listener perceives this loss of sound integrity in the reproduced sound as "muddy" and "smeared. " In the extreme, it can become difficult to tell the difference between musical instruments, for example, an oboe and a clarinet. conducted extensive studies of numerous speaker systems over a ten year period.
