To help you identify which amp you are currently viewing simply press and hold the
key and the Remote Address of the amplifier will be displayed. This will aid
you in determining which amp you are currently viewing when you have multiple
amps of the same make.
Changing the amplifiers name (coming up later in the manual) will help you here. Once you have found
the amplifier you wish to adjust simply press the
key to select it.
Once the amplifier you want to adjust is selected you will be able to choose from the following items.
Some of these functions may not be available depending on if the amplifier is assigned to a Group and
what LINK property the group has set. This is described in more detail in the WXRC SETUP menu.
Use the
and
keys to scroll through the selections above and press the

U - Here is where you adjust the selected amplifier’s gain controls. The WX Series
amplifiers’ UltraMatch™ gain structure features both a digital input gain attenuator with Gain Ranges
AND 12dB of “tweakable” Gain adjustment in each range! This super wide adjustment range allows WX
amplifiers to operate flawlessly with any source unit, pre-amplifier, or line driver.
Now use the
and
keys to increase or decrease the gain of the
selected channel(s) in .5 dB increments from 0 dB to +30 dB. (

bandwidth
(better known as Q) can be set from
0
to
10
in .5 increments. In simple terms, lower Q
effects more frequencies around the center frequency while higher Q effects fewer frequencies around
the center frequency.

As an example, if our center frequency is 100 HZ, a Q of .5
(area in gray) effects many more frequencies around 100 Hz
than a Q of 10 (area in black) There is no right or wrong Q,
you use whatever fits the needs of the system or personal
taste. KICKER uses a default Q of 3.

Boost
is where you boost the equalizer and has a range of
+18 db
in .5 dB steps. Keep in mind that
for every 3 dB of boost you are requiring the amplifier to use twice as much power in that equalized
area. The default setting from KICKER is
