Connecting The Crossover - Rainbow Dream Line SLX 210 Einbauanleitung

Connecting the Crossover to headunit or amplifier
Connection of Woofer:
Attach prepared loudspeaker cable (2.5 mm²) at the woofer, whereby the connector with the red conduit cover is
connected with the positive terminal and the connector with the black conduit cover with the minus connection.
Attach the other end of the loudspeaker cable making sure the polarity corresponds with that on the amplifier and
radio sides.
Connection of Tweeter:
Attach the tweeter crossover output with loudspeaker cable (1 mm²) making sure the polarity corresponds with that
on the tweeters (+ = red marking). Attach prepared loudspeaker cable (1 mm²) at the tweeter crossover input,
preferably with suitable contacts and making sure the polarity of the connections correspond with that on the
amplifier and radio sides in parallel to the woofer cables.
With all component systems, the tweeter range has been provided with a thermal protection device in the crossover.
This added measure protects the high-quality tweeter against overly high performance levels. However, with
extremely high performance levels, the thermal protection device will shut down the tweeter to a low level. Once
reduced the power to a normal level the thermal protection device will cool down and will release tweeter from
protection status after a few minutes.

If the woofer and tweeter are placed very closely together, the polarity of the tweeters as indicated at the crossover
should be maintained. ⇒ Optimal tuning. In mechanical situations where the woofer and tweeter are placed very
far apart, it is recommended that the polarity of the tweeters be turned approximately 180°. In addition, clamp the
tweeter cable with red conduit cover sleeve from the positive terminal of the crossover and fasten on the minus
connection. Afterwards take the tweeter cable with the black conduit sleeve from the minus connection and fasten
to the positive terminal. A more enclosed sound can be achieved by this measure.
