7. Gain/Level Control (Sub/Front/Rear)
This control is used to match the input level of the amplifier to the output level of your
head unit. We recommend the method below, as failure to follow these steps may
damage the audio system.
1.
Turn the amplifier Gain to zero
2.
Turn the volume of the head unit to ¾ and the bass and treble to zero
3.
Adjust the amplifier Gain/Level control until the desired maximum volume is
achieved without distortion.
4.
Make fine adjustments to tune your install.
8. High Pass Crossover Filter
Set the crossover switch to HP and turn this control to 65Hz or above when using
speaker's smaller than 6 x 9". When a subwoofer is used in the system, this feature is
designed to filter out all low bass frequencies that only subwoofers should produce. See
specification table for adjustable frequency range
9. Low Pass Crossover Filter
Ensure the crossover frequency is set at 100Hz or below. This feature must be used with
a subwoofer to filter out all mid to high frequencies that only full range speakers should
produce. See specification table for adjustable frequency range
10. Crossover Switch
Full - This setting is for large speakers (e.g. 6 X 9") or speakers when a sub
woofer is not included in the system. The amplified audio signal is not filtered
so the full range audio signal is sent to the speakers.
Low - This setting is used when using a subwoofer and will only allow
frequencies below the low pass filter setting to pass through.
High - Used to run mid-range speakers when a spearate subwoofer is
connected. This etting will only allow frequencies above the set high pass filter
setting to pass through.
11. Subsonic Filter (Z300.1 + Z1000.1)
This is a variable control that filters out all subsonic bass frequencies below the set point.
These are frequencies that are not audible. These frequencies can damage
subwoofers. See specification table for adjustable frequency range.
12. Bass Boost (Z300.1 + Z1000.1)
This control adjusts the bass boost at 45Hz, from 0 to +18dB. Start from 0 and slowly
increase to the desired level. Use this control with extreme care as failure to do so may
result in damage to the subwoofers.
13. Remote Bass Controller Port
This connection should be used with the optional remote control
(ZRBC - sold separately) to adjust the bass level from any location within the vehicle.
