DESCRIPTION
The OMNITRONIC crossover is designed for professional application. With an active crossover, you can separate the output signal of your mixer in different frequency ranges. In this way you can define which signal portion will go to which amplifier.
INSTALLATION
RACK MOUNTING
The crossover is built for 19" racks/483 mm. The minimum mounting depth is 160 mm. The height is 44 mm. You can fix the crossover with four screws M6 in the rack.
When mounting the crossover into a rack, please make sure that there is a proper air circulation.
Please make sure that there is enough space around the device so that the heated air can be passed on.
The rack should be provided with a cooling fan.
Be careful when mounting the crossover into the rack. Put the heaviest devices into the lower part of the rack. Be aware that fastening the crossover with four screws on the front panel is not enough. In order to ensure safety, additional fastening by using ground and side bars is necessary.
If racks are to be transported or used for mobile use, additionally fasten the devices by connecting the rear brackets with the side or ground bars of the rack. In this way, the crossover cannot be pushed backwards. The front panel alone is not designed to absorb acceleration forces occurring during transportation.
INPUTS
A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Input cables should be short and direct, since high frequencies will be mostly be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer cable may lead to humming and noise trouble. If long cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables. The inputs of your OMNITRONIC XO-23 S are equipped with electronically balanced XLR-connectors.
OUTPUTS
The high damping factor of your crossover supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50. The longer a cable has to be, the thicker it should be.
The outputs of your OMNITRONIC XO-23 S are equipped with electronically balanced XLR-connectors.
Occupation balanced XLR-connection:
CONNECTION TO THE MAINS
Connect the OMNITRONIC XO-23 S only after having made sure that the right voltage (230 V) is available. This device features a T 0.5 A, 250 V fuse.
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
| Cable Pin International | |
| Brown Live L | |
| Blue Neutral N | |
| Yellow/Green Earth |
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30mA .
STARTING UP
Make sure to power-up before your power amplifier is turned in order to avoid loud transients which could damage your speakers or annoy your audience.
System test
After connecting all cables, you should carry out a system test. Press all four Mute Buttons in order to mute all outputs.
Activate the HF-outputs first. In case of wrong cabling, HF-signal will come out of bass-speakers that cannot be harmed this way. Vice versa, the LF-signal would destroy your HF-speakers.
