3. Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified car audio technician. Ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before beginning any wiring.

Connexions de cablejat:

  1. Entrada: Connect the audio signal from your amplifier's output to the 'INPUT' terminals on the crossover. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
  2. Woofer: Connect your woofer speaker to the 'WOOF' terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
  3. Tweeter: Connect your tweeter speaker to the 'TWEETER' terminals. Ensure correct polarity.

The crossover unit features screw terminals for secure wire connections. Use appropriate gauge speaker wire for your system's power requirements.

Ajust del nivell del tweeter:

The A1-XO crossover includes a jumper or switch mechanism to adjust the tweeter output level. This allows you to fine-tune the high-frequency response to your listening preference and the acoustic environment of your vehicle. The available settings are typically 0dB (flat), -3dB, and -6dB. Experiment with these settings to achieve the desired balance between the woofer and tweeter.

Mount the crossovers securely in a dry location, away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the units.

4. Principis de funcionament

Once properly installed, the Focal A1-XO passive crossovers operate automatically to divide the full-range audio signal from your amplifier into specific frequency bands for your woofer and tweeter. The crossover ensures that low frequencies are directed to the woofer and high frequencies to the tweeter, preventing damage to the speakers and optimizing sound clarity and imaging.

There are no user-adjustable controls during normal operation beyond the initial tweeter level setting. The crossover functions as a passive filter network, requiring no external power supply.
