SETTING UP THE S•3-way FOR STEREO 3-way OPERATION
The following operating example is for a Stereo 3-way system using 15" sub, 12" mid range and 1" compression
driver and both the left and right side. There are systems examples for other set-ups including stereo 2-way and
4-way mono operation.
CAUTION: Before you apply power to your speaker system amplifiers, be certain to set the frequency controls to
the manufacturers recommended crossover points for the drivers or enclosures you are using.
NOTE: LAST ON / FIRST OFF
When running a loudspeaker system with one or multiple power amplifiers, it is highly recommended that you fol-
low the LAST ON / FIRST OFF rule. When powering up your sound system, turn your power amplifier on last.
When you power down your system, turn your power amplifiers off first. This will prevent any switching spikes
you may get from other gear in your system, and help prevent unnecessary speaker damage.
