Using unbalanced connections could result in chassis ground-loop noise. Altering the signal/chassis ground relationship in equipment connected to your MQX unit may eliminate the noise. Inputs Inputs are 20K.. active balanced, or 10K.. unbalanced. The inputs of all Ashly crossovers are in phase with the outputs. Outputs The outputs are low impedance (200.. typical) pseudo-balanced using either connector. Pseudo-balanced lines have an equivalent line impedance on both (+) and (-) lines, allowing f

Sometimes limiters are used on each crossover output to provide more accurate protection. Speaker Placement To obtain maximum benefit from your crossover, a correctly assembled speaker array is a necessity. Low frequency speakers should be grouped as closely together as possible and mid and high frequency drivers should be stacked vertically. This arrangement produces a tight vertical pattern, with wide horizontal dispersion free from high frequency lobing. If possible, speakers in the array sho
