Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed, the MCD360 allows for precise tuning of your audio system. Adjustments should be made carefully and incrementally.

Obteniu el control

The gain controls (Input Level) on the MCD360 adjust the input sensitivity. Set these controls to match the output voltage of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until the sound is clear and distortion-free at your desired maximum volume level from the head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can introduce distortion.

• HIGH Pass Filter: Adjusts the low-frequency cutoff for your high-range speakers. Frequencies below this setting will be attenuated.
• MID Pass Filter: Adjusts the high and low-frequency cutoffs for your mid-range speakers (if applicable).
• LOW Pass Filter: Adjusts the high-frequency cutoff for your subwoofer(s). Frequencies above this setting will be attenuated.

Adjust these frequencies to ensure a smooth transition between your speakers and subwoofer(s), preventing overlapping or gaps in the frequency response. Refer to your speaker and subwoofer specifications for recommended crossover points.
