As an added benefi t, PFC also allows the amp
to be connected to any common AC line volt-
age, without converting the power supply. This
means that whether you’re running one or two
amps on a household circuit or several amps
on a power distro, your CE 4000 amplifi ier is
ready—right out of the box.

5.3 Other Features
5.3.1 Low Pass Filters
For each channel, a back-panel, three-position
switch provides optional settings of Flat (Left),
80 Hz (center) and 100 Hz (right) with an
18-dB per octave rolloff (see Figure 5.4). The
80- and 100-Hz settings may be selected when
the amplifi er is being used to drive a bass
program. The FLAT setting provides bypass
of the low-pass fi lters, for use either when a
crossover is provided elsewhere in the system,
or when the signal is full-range.
