Clarion MCD360 Stereo Equalizer User Manual


 
Front High-Pass Crossover Frequency Adjustment - Adjusts the crossover
to match your speaker system. The crossover frequency can be adjusted from
32Hz - 400Hz or from 640Hz - 8kHz with the crossover frequency multiplier
switch.
Rear High-Pass Crossover Frequency Adjustment - Adjusts the crossover
to match speaker your system. The crossover frequency can be adjusted from
32Hz - 400 Hz.
Subwoofer Crossover Frequency Adjustment - Adjusts the crossover to
match your speaker system. The crossover frequency can be adjusted from
45Hz - 250 Hz.
• Frequency Multiplier Switch - When engaged, this switch increases the
crossover frequency by a factor of 20. Example: If the frequency is set for
70Hz, moving the frequency multiplier switch to X20 changes the setting to
1.4kHz.
Output Level Controls - Seperate Front, Rear and Subwoofer Output Level
Controls allow you to set the nominal operating level of the crossover. The
crossover’s output level ranges can accommodate virtually any brand of
amplifier.
Subwoofer Boost Control - The crossover also features a “high-Q” (i.e.
narrow frequency band) Bass Boost circuit. It acts much like an equalizer, with
adjustable gain (from 0 - +18dB) with a center frequency adjustable from 25Hz
- 100Hz. Use this feature to tune low-frequency audio response to compensate
for a less than ideal subwoofer enclosure design. The added boost produces
rich, full bass tones that are normally difficult to reproduce in the car audio
environment. Use the Freq dial to set the Boost Freq and the Sub Boost Level
dial to set the amount of boost. Note: If Bass Boost is undesired, set Sub Boost
Level to 0dB.
Phase Switch - When set to 180 degrees, this switch reverses the phase of the
subwoofer output signal. This is used for fine tuning the bass response after the
installation is complete.
Power Indicator - The power indicator will light up when the crossover is
on.
Front/Rear Input Switch - This switch allows use of a 2 channel input to
drive both the front and rear inputs.
Sub Input Switch - This switch allows the signal from the front and rear
channels to be directed to the sub input when a dedicated sub input is not
available.
Remote Sub Level Control - When the remote sub level control is plugged
into the MCD360, the sub output level control on the MCD360 will be
defeated. Instead the remote sub level control will set the sub output level.
