Using two standard 1/4-inch phone cables, connect the your mixers left and right output to the S xovers LEFT and RIGHT INPUT. Use a "Y" cable with a 1/4-inch TRS (TIP RING SLEEVE) to two 1/4-inch TS (TIP SLEEVE) to connect the Left and Right LOW Output to the power amp connected to the low frequency drivers. For a detailed wiring diagram for the 1/4-inch TRS "Y" cable see page 8 in this manual. Use a second "Y" cable with a 1/4-inch TRS (TIP RING SLEEVE) to two 1/4-inch TS (TIP SLEEVE) to connect the Left and Right HIGH Output to the power amp connected to the high frequency drivers. [. . . ] Now adjust the LEVEL control to about half way up. Finally, set the LOW and HIGH controls to about half-way and adjust the levels with an RTA (REAL TIME ANALYZER), like a Samson D1500, or use your ears to dial in the blend between the low and high drivers. 6 S xover Sub System Set-up Typical Set-up for Satellite systems with Mono Sub The diagram below shows a typical set-up for using the S xover with a sub woofer for PA application using full range speakers in stereo along with a common sub running in mono. You can use the same type of hook-up for connecting a sub woofer to full range studio monitors in recording set-ups. [. . . ]
