1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for the confidence which you have expressed in us by purchasing the SUPER-X PRO CX2310. The
BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO is a high-value, active frequency crossover, extremely well suited for both live and
studio applications.
If you want to operate a loudspeaker system, which consists of several loudspeakers covering different frequency
bands, then you naturally have to work with suitably differentiated input signals for each loudspeaker. To do
this you need a frequency crossover which can split the input signal into several frequency bands. A difference
should be noted between passive crossovers which are wired between amplifier and speaker, and active systems
which are placed before the amplifiers in the signal chain. Multi-way speaker systems can be found almost
everywhere todayand not only in stereo systems, but in cinemas, discotheques and concert halls. As
customers have become more demanding they can even be found now in such simple products as TV sets.
Why?
With the same sound pressure, low-frequency sound waves have a much greater amplitude (oscillation range)
than high-frequency waves. When a single loudspeaker tries to produce bass and treble frequencies at the
same time, a so-called intermodulation distortion will occur. This means that, when the speaker diaphragm is
displaced by low frequencies, the treble frequencies seem to be raised in loudness, or lowered when the
diaphragm reverses its direction.
We cannot therefore expect a single loudspeaker to reproduce signals, spanning the whole audible frequency
spectrum at the same level of quality. If, using a frequency crossover, a loudspeaker only has to reproduce a
limited part of the frequency spectrum and it will do so at a greatly increased level of qualitythus producing
a more regular frequency response and dispersion pattern.
+ This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the
SUPER-X PRO and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future
reference.
1.1 Before you begin
The BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX2310 was carefully packed in the factory, in order to ensure safe transport.
Nevertheless, should the box show signs of damage please check the equipment itself immediately for any
signs of external damage.
