Soundstream Technologies 502 User Manual

The

amplifiers incorporate an on-board staggered

crossover, with RCA outputs to drive an external amplifier. No

external electronic crossover is necessary. The high and low pass
portions of the crossover can be set independently of one another.

To engage the High Pass filter, set the left

crossover

switch on the

top of the amplifier to

X-OVER”, and use the frequency adjust-

ment knob marked “H.P. X-OVER”. To engage the Low Pass filter,
set the left crossover switch to either “SUB SONIC” or “HAWKINS
BASS CONTROL” (see pages 1 O-1 1 for more details), and set the
right crossover switch “L.P. X-OVER” to the “IN” position.

In many car audio installations, there is a tendency for a

boom.” Because of their interior dimensions, most cars will
nate or ring at these

frequencies. If we design the system

so there is reduced output in this region, the final response is very
smooth and natural sounding. The high pass

dently variable from 70 to 160 Hz at 12 dB/Octave, and the low pass
crossover is independently variable from 55 to 220 Hz at 24

tave.

For initial crossover setup, try setting the low pass filter

approxi-

mately 60 Hz, and the high pass filter to approximately 100 Hz.
Change the crossover points to accommodate a good mixture of

frequency response, power handling, and personal preference.
