IV. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Subsonic Filter
Subsonic filters are commonly used in sound installations to filter out rumbles and other inaudible or unwanted low frequency signals and to
protect speaker drivers. Vented speaker enclosures in particular often exhibit a phenomenon in which the acoustical damping on the driver(s)
drops at extremely low frequencies below their own resonant frequency. In a situation like this, a
subsonic filter will help to prevent damage from over-excursion of the speaker cone.
Program settings:
1.
Set the jumper on Jx01 to bypass the low-pass filter (across pins 1 and 2).
2.
Set the jumper on Jx02 to enable the high-pass filter (across pins 2 and 3).
3.
No jumper on Jx03.
4.
Insert a resistor network in RNx04 that is appropriate to the desired roll-off frequency—typically 20, 30, 40, or 50 Hz.
