Internal Crossover Configurations
the crossover section of the orion XtR5001, XtR10001, and XtR15001
amplifiers is continuously variable and extremely flexible . In addition
to the variable built-in low-pass filters, the high-pass crossover incor-
porates the Bass Boost feature . this circuit is designed to optimize the
performance of orion subwoofers in all types of enclosures .
When using orion loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recom-
mended frequency ranges can provide superior results depending on
your speaker locations and your vehicle acoustics . setting crossover
frequencies higher than recommended will not cause damage and
may provide superior sonic results depending on your system's perfor-
mance goals . Refer to your loudspeaker owner's manual for assistance
in choosing the proper crossover frequencies for your system .
WARNING! Do not set crossover frequencies lower than the speakers
recommended operating range . this can cause driver failure that is
not covered by the manufacturer's warranty .
Low-Pass Crossover
When the switch is to the left (Full position), the low-pass crossover is
bypassed . When the switch is in the middle (12 position), the low-pass
crossover is active with a 2nd order (12dB per octave) slope . When the
switch is to the right (24 position), the low-pass crossover is active with
a 4th order (24dB per octave) slope . the low-pass crossover is continu-
ously variable from 30Hz to 250Hz .

Remote Gain Operation
NOTE: Do not use the Remote Gain control when you have an
expanded system installed (see Line Output Configurations) . the slave
amplifier(s) gain will not be controlled .
the remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain
structure of the XtR power amplifier . the RGC2 plugs into the amplifier
via the 1/8" mini jack plug . the RGC2 can be installed in the front of the
vehicle to control the amplifier gain level . the RGC2 can be used as a
bass level control when used on an amplifier dedicated to subwoofers .
