REAR PANEL: ALTERNATE MONO 4-WAY INSTALLATION
Note: The switching in the AC 23B will result in a Mono 4-Way configuration with the crossover ranges
SUB, LOW, MID & HIGH from left to right across the bottom front panel. By connecting a patch cable from
the CHANNEL 1 HIGH OUT to the CHANNEL 2 INPUT, the LOW / MID crossover range changes from
70 Hz-1 kHz to a higher range of 190 Hz-7 kHz. Switch CHANNEL 1 to 3-Way, and CHANNEL 2 to 2-Way.
Note: DO NOT follow the Mono 4-Way Switch Instructions on page Manual-7, it must be set to 5-Way.
햲 MONO INPUT: Connect the output from your mixer or other signal source only to the CHANNEL 1 INPUT; do not use
the Channel 2 Input. Note: For this alternate Mono 4-Way installation, connect a patch cord from the CHANNEL 1 HIGH
OUT to the CHANNEL 2 INPUT as shown.
햳 SUBWOOFER OUTPUT: Connect the SUB OUT to the input of the subwoofer amplifier (or bass bin amp).
햴 LOW OUTPUT: Connect the MID OUT to the input of the low frequency amplifier.
햵 MID OUTPUT: Connect the HIGH-MID OUT to the input of the mid frequency amplifier. Be sure the CHANNEL 1 HIGH
LEVEL and the CHANNEL 2 MASTER LEVEL controls are set at “7” for unity gain between Channels.
햶 HlGH OUTPUT: Connect the HIGH OUT to the input of the high frequency amplifier.
햷 STEREO-MONO switch: Be sure this switch is in the STEREO out position. Yes, STEREO. A Mono circuit is created
when Channel 1 is patched into Channel 2, and the correct signal flow depends on this switch.
햸 2-WAY / 3-WAY switches: Converts each channels outputs from 3-Way to 2-Way. For this configuration, set CHANNEL
1 to 3-Way, and CHANNEL 2 to 2-Way.
햹 POWER input connector. Use only a model RS 1 or other power supply approved by Rane. This unit is supplied with a
remote power supply suitable for connection to this input jack.
햺 Chassis ground point. A #6-32 screw is used for chassis grounding purposes. Always connect the crossover chassis to the
amplifier chassis. See ‘Chassis Grounding’ on page Manual-3 for details.
