FRONT PANEL: MONO 4-WAY AND 5-WAY CONFIGURATION

Observe the labels screened below the controls for Mono operation.

1

MASTER LEVEL control:

Sets the overall Level of the entire unit in Mono mode, without changing relative settings of the

individual Sub/Low/Mid/High Outputs. Unity gain for all Level controls is “7”.

2

SUBWOOFER LEVEL control:

Sets the Level of signal going to the Sub Output. See page Manual-14.

3

SUBWOOFER MUTE switch:

Removes all signal from the Sub Output when pressed to the in position. This eases the system

tune-up procedure, as described on pages Manual-11-16.

4

SUBWOOFER DELAY control:

In Subwoofer applications this control has virtually no effect and will normally be set to MIN

(minimum). Refer to page Manual-10.

5

SUB / LOW crossover frequency selector:

This 41-detent selector sets the crossover frequency between the Subwoofer and Low

Outputs. Refer to page Manual-10 to determine the proper setting for your system.

6

LOW LEVEL control:

Sets the Level going to the Low frequency Output.

7

LOW MUTE switch:

Removes all signal from the Low Output when pressed in.

8

LOW DELAY control:

Adds from 0 to 2 ms of time Delay to the Low Output only. Refer to page Manual-10 for alignment

procedure.

9

LOW / MID crossover frequency selector:

Sets the crossover frequency between the Low and Mid frequency Outputs.

0

MID LEVEL control:

Sets the Level of signal going to the Mid Output only.

q

MID MUTE switch:

Removes all signal from the Mid Output when pressed in.

w

MID DELAY control:

Adds from 0 to 2 ms of time Delay to the Mid frequency Output only.

e

MID / HIGH-MID crossover frequency selector:

Sets the crossover frequency between the Mid and High-Mid Outputs.

* NOTE: Both the CHANNEL 1 HIGH LEVEL control and CHANNEL 2 MASTER LEVEL control are automatically bypassed when

the AC 23B is switched to "MONO" on the back panel. Adjusting these controls has no effect in the Mono mode.

r

HlGH-MID LEVEL control:

This controls the Level of signal going to the High-Mid Output only in 5-Way Mode. **NOTE

TO 4-WAY MONO USERS: An internal switch (S5) determines 4 or 5-Way mode. Our apologies: We must ship the units in the 5-Way

mode since normal Stereo 3-Way operation demands it: a fact not the least bit obvious, but nevertheless, a fact it remains. See the Mono

4-Way Switch Instructions

on the next page. The HIGH-MID LEVEL control, HIGH-MID MUTE switch, HIGH-MID DELAY

control and HIGH-MID / HIGH FREQUENCY control are out of circuit and will have no effect regardless of their settings in 4-Way

Mode.
