4.2 Connexions de cablejat
- Connexió d'alimentació:
- Connecteu el + BAT terminal to the vehicle's positive battery terminal (or a fused constant 12V source) using appropriate gauge wire. Install an inline fuse (not supplied) as close to the battery as possible.
- Connecteu el GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal chassis ground point in the vehicle.
- Connecteu el REM terminal to the remote turn-on output of your head unit or other signal source.
- Connexió d'entrada d'àudio:
- Connect the RCA outputs from your head unit (Front, Rear/Subwoofer) to the corresponding ENTRADA RCA jacks on the STX 104 PRO.
- Connexió de sortida d'àudio:
- Connecteu el SORTIDA RCA jacks (Flat Out, Low/Rear Out, Mid Low Out, Mid Out, High Out) to the corresponding input channels on your amplifiers. Ensure correct channel assignment (e.g., Low Out to subwoofer amplifier, High Out to tweeter ampmés viu).
5. Instruccions de funcionament
The STX 104 PRO offers extensive control over your audio signal. Adjustments should be made incrementally and with careful listening.
5.1 Configuració inicial i ajust de guany
- Set all Level controls on the STX 104 PRO to minimum.
- Estableix-ho tot ampel lifier guanya al mínim.
- Play a familiar piece of music at a moderate volume from your head unit.
- Slowly increase the Level control for one output channel (e.g., High Out) on the STX 104 PRO until the sound is clear and undistorted.
- Adjust the gain on the corresponding amplifier until the desired volume is reached without distortion. Repeat for all channels.
5.2 Crossover Adjustments
The STX 104 PRO allows you to define the frequency range for each speaker set.
- Filtre subsònic: Use this to remove frequencies below your subwoofer's effective range (e.g., 30Hz or 50Hz) to prevent damage and improve sound quality.
- Low Pass (LPF): Sets the upper frequency limit for a channel. Typically used for subwoofers (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz).
- High Pass (HPF): Sets the lower frequency limit for a channel. Typically used for mid-range speakers and tweeters (e.g., 80Hz for mid-bass, 2.5KHz for tweeters).
- Mid Low / Mid / High Crossover Points: Adjust these knobs to precisely define the frequency bands for your mid-bass, mid-range, and high-frequency speakers. Refer to your speaker specifications for recommended crossover points.
5.3 Phase Adjustment
The Phase switch (0°/180°) helps ensure that all speakers are acoustically in phase, preventing cancellation and improving bass response and sound imaging. Experiment with both settings for each channel to find the optimal sound.
5.4 Augment de baix
The Bass Boost control allows for a subtle enhancement of low frequencies. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
6. Manteniment
The Stetsom STX 104 PRO requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
- Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the unit. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
