• CH 1/2 FREQ / CH 3/4 FREQ (APX490M only) The CH 1/2 crossover frequencies
are adjustable from 55Hz to 550Hz. While CH 3/4 crossover frequencies are
adjustable from 55Hz to 5500Hz (via the Frequency Range Multiplier) for a wider
range of crossover points. Use this feature along with your speaker
manufacturer's recommended crossover frequencies to quickly design a more
advanced system.
NOTE: If either of the Crossover Mode Switches is set to OFF, varying the
frequency control will have no effect.
• CH 1/2 Filter / CH 3/4 Filter (APX490M only) A filter is activated by sliding the CH
1/2 and CH 3/4 filter switch to either HP = High Pass or LP = Low Pass. CH 1/2 is
