DYNAMIC Tweeter Protection Activation TWEETER Under high power/high volume conditions, the dynamic tweeter level control (DTLC) LEVEL circuit may activate. The purpose of DTLC is to prevent failure of the tweeter by reducing its output when necessary. You will notice a decrease in hig h frequency CONTROL output and the light bulb on the crossover board will light up (see Figure 3). The circuit is self - resetting if the DTLC activates, turn the volume down and normal operation will

WIRING Wiring Diagram Figure 4 shows a diagram illustrating the wiring of the EXACT5.2 Component Speaker System. It is important to make sure that al l connections are in phase; that is positive (+) is connected to positive (+), and negative ( - ) is connected to negative ( - ), si nce an out - of - phase connection will cause a dislocated image and low bass output. The provided cable harness is color coordinat ed to aid proper connection of crossovers to speakers; wire col ors should

IMPORTANT! Bi-Wiring NOTES CUT THE TWO JUMPER WIRES IN THE 5.2X The EXACT5.2 system includes the ON CROSSOVER FOR ANY EXACT5.2X passive crossover which BI-AMP OR BI-WIRING APPLICATION BI-AMPING is optimized for the speakers. The EXACT5.2X allows for dual amp inputs. See Figure 5. This feature allows for a 4 channel amplifier or two 2 channel amps to power t he four individual drivers of an EXACT5.2 system. The benefit of this is added dynamics and level setting flex

NOTES IMPORTANT! Bi-Amping CUT THE TWO JUMPER WIRES IN THE 5.2X True bi - amping can also be ON CROSSOVER FOR ANY accomplished with an external electronic BI-AMP OR BI-WIRING APPLICATION BI-AMPING crossover. See Figure 6. Even greater (CONT'D) dynamics can be reali zed with bandwidth limited amplifiers. If you decide to bi - amp, please follow the recommendations below : 1) Use at least a 12dB/octave high pass filter no higher than 1500 Hz on the tweeters. 2) Use at lea
