MUTE SWITCHES
The S3-way features Mute switches on each
frequency band. When engaged, the LED illumi-
nates and that channel output is turned off. The
MUTE switches are convenient for trouble shoot-
ing or for simply listening to each speaker sec-
tion separately.
CD EQ SWITCH
Many of todays popular speaker enclosures feature Constant Directivity Horns.
The S3-ways CD EQ switch can be activated to apply a special equalization
curve for smoothing and adding air to the high end of a loudspeaker system.
MONO SUB SWITCH
For easy operation of mono subwoofers, the S3-way provides a MONO SUB
switch. When activated, the low frequency band of Channel One and Two are
summed together. The common low frequency signal is present at both Channel
One and Channel Twos Outputs.
LIMITER
A Limiter is a specific form of a compressor configured to prevent peaks and for
general overload protection. The S3-way offers a Multi-Band Limiter with vari-
able Threshold control. The operating range of the Limiter is from -5 to +18dB
and when engaged, protects against signal peaks and overloads.
