ADJUSTABLE TWEETER LEVEL:
Your XR Crossover networks provide five levels
of tweeter adjustability designed to compensate for
different mounting locations, vehicle interiors and
personal taste. These levels are selectable via a set
of pins located under the clear cover of each
crossover case. We recommend that you begin
listening at the “REF” (Reference) position. If the
sound seems too bright or aggressive, experiment
with alternate tweeter level settings by moving the
jumper connectors. It is safe to switch jumpers
while the system is playing.
TWEETER PROTECTION:
The XR Crossover networks are equipped with
an advanced electronic tweeter protection circuit
designed to minimize the possibility of tweeter
failure. This electronic device monitors current going
to the tweeter and will disconnect the tweeter from
the signal when it senses overload. Should this occur
while listening to the audio system, simply reduce the
volume for a few seconds and the protection circuit
will reset itself automatically.
ADJUSTABLE MIDRANGE PRESENCE:
Your XR crossover networks also provide a
unique midrange presence control, located under
the clear cover.The midrange presence is
selectable via a set of pins and allows for three
settings: “High-Mid”, “Normal” and “Low-Mid”.The
settings affect the overall amplitude of the upper
midrange response of the XR component woofer.
We recommend that you begin your listening with
the “Normal” setting and adjust up or down as
needed to compensate for mounting location or
personal taste.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
CONSIDERATIONS:
A component system gives you the ability to
place the woofer and tweeter separately in your
vehicle interior.This can be good or bad,
depending on how it’s done. As a general rule, the
tweeters should be placed relatively close to the
woofers for best tonal balance and most coherent
imaging (the closer, the better). Any separation
greater than 8 inches (20 cm) is likely to result in
degraded sound quality.
Avoid placing tweeters where they will be
blocked by objects in the interior of the car
(including seated occupants). When selecting a
mounting location, look at both sides of the car to
make sure that this location is clear on both sides.
