CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS 7 4. Low Level LINE OUT RCA Jacks The LINE OUT allows you to build a multiple amplifier system without having to use splitter cords or Y-adapters to distribute the signal. Now it is simply a matter bringing one set of RCAs into the first amplifier, then using the line out RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier. 5. Bass Boost Control By using the bass boost function, bass notes at 45Hz are emphasized as much as 18dB. 6. Phase Shift Control Allows you to change

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS 8 7. Low-Pass Filter Control For use as a dedicated subwoofer channel, set the filter switch to the "LPF" (Low Pass Frequency). Adjust the variable crossover frequency with control knob as desired. The amplifier input circuit filters out everything above 50Hz ... 150Hz (dependant on the adjustment of the frequency control), so only the lowest bass notes are amplified. 8. Sub Sonic Control The sub sonic control will cut all frequencies below what it is set to from going to
