Connecting The Crossover - Rainbow audio GL-C6.2 Einbauanleitung

A basic correction of the sound can be achieved as follows: The crossovers of the front passenger side
can be adjusted through „frequency response". Note that the frequency of the crossovers on the driver's
side is adjusted until a pleasant, stress-free sound is achieved. Under normal conditions thereafter, high
and middle range tones are around at least 6 dB quieter than on the front passenger side. For optimal
positioning, a professional dealer, who can more accurately position the frequency response using
specific measuring instruments, should be contacted.
It is important that all loudspeakers are correctly attached before start-up of the crossovers. If
Note:
the crossovers are set into operation without the loudspeakers being hooked up, a very high
current is produced on the unloaded LC-filters, which can, under the circumstances, destroy
the coils! The wire jumpers of the crossovers must always be placed on the specified pins,
according to the instructions. Other combinations are not functional and do not behave like
unattached loudspeakers! What's more, improper connection of the crossover will prevent it
from working within the intended range.
The crossovers (X) (see figure 5) and the loudspeakers (B) are provided with screw connections and
with polarity markings. Through this control system the appropriate steps in connecting the loudspeakers
Firmly tighten the screws of the crossover and woofer connections!
Connection of Amplifier/Radio:
Attach prepared Y-loudspeaker cable (2.5 mm²) at the screw connections „Biamping Input" of the
crossover, whereby the plus connector is connected with the positive terminals "W+ & Tw+" and the
minus connector with the minus terminals "W- & Tw-". Attach the other end of the loudspeaker cable,
making sure the polarity corresponds with that on the amplifier and radio sides.
For bi-amping operation the woofers and tweeters are each driven by a separate amplifier. Connect
terminal "W+" and "W-" of the crossover with the speaker output of the woofer amplifier, making sure the
polarity corresponds with that on the crossover. Connect terminal "Tw+" and "Tw-" of the crossover with
the speaker output of the tweeter amplifier, making sure the polarity corresponds with that on the
crossover.
Connection of Woofer:
Attach prepared loudspeaker cable (2.5 mm²) at the screw connections „Woofer out" of the crossover,
whereby the marked wire is connected with the positive terminal "+" and the unmarked wire with the
minus connection "-". Attach the other end of the loudspeaker cable, making sure the polarity (+/-) of the
connections corresponds, and connect to the woofers.
Connection of Tweeter:
Attach prepared loudspeaker cable (1 mm²) at the screw connections „Tweeter out" of the crossover,
whereby the black marked wire is connected with the positive terminal "+" and the unmarked wire with
the
connection "-". Connect the other end of the loudspeaker cable, preferably with suitable contacts, to the
available connection cable of the tweeters (+ = black marking) and make sure the polarity of the
connections corresponds.
In order to project a vivid and unobstrusive sound, regardless of the placement of the tweeters, this
component system allows the intensity of the sound pressure in the tweeter range to be adjusted at the
crossover via jumper J5.
