HF ADJUSTMENT
High Frequency Adjustment is through a rear panel mounted 3-position toggle switch. Range of control is +1dB,

LF ADJUSTMENT
Low Frequency turnover is set to 45Hz, 50Hz, or 65Hz by a rear panel mounted 3-position toggle switch. Rear
panel response curve graphics assist you in selecting the appropriate setting. Factory setting for your V8 is -3dB @
