Behringer SUPER-X PRO CX2310 Professional Crossover User Manual

1. Introducció

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the Behringer SUPER-X PRO CX2310, a high-precision stereo 2-way/mono 3-way crossover with a dedicated subwoofer output. Designed for professional audio applications, this device accurately divides audio signals into different frequency bands, optimizing sound reproduction through multiple loudspeakers.

The CX2310 ensures precise frequency separation, allowing each speaker component (e.g., woofers, mid-range drivers, tweeters, subwoofers) to receive only the frequencies it is designed to reproduce efficiently. This results in improved sound clarity, increased system efficiency, and enhanced speaker protection.

5. Configuració i connexió

Proper setup is essential for optimal performance. Always ensure all audio equipment is powered off before making connections.

5.1. Stereo 2-Way Operation

This configuration is suitable for systems with main stereo speakers and an optional subwoofer.

1. Connect the stereo output of your mixer or audio source to the ENTRADA L i ENTRADA R XLR connectors on the CX2310 rear panel.
2. Estableix el MODE switch on the front panel to STEREO 2-WAY.
3. Connecteu el LOW OUTPUT L/R to the inputs of your low-frequency amplifier (e.g., for woofers).
4. Connecteu el HIGH OUTPUT L/R to the inputs of your high-frequency amplifier (e.g., for tweeters/mid-range).
5. If using a subwoofer, connect the SUB OUT to the input of your subwoofer ampsubwoofer més viu o actiu.
6. Connecteu el cable d'alimentació al ENTRADA CA and then to a suitable power outlet.

5.2. Mono 3-Way Operation

This configuration is ideal for a single, full-range speaker system divided into low, mid, and high frequency bands.

1. Connect a mono audio source to the ENTRADA L XLR connector. (The CX2310 will sum the inputs for mono 3-way operation if both are connected, or use only the left input if only one is present).
2. Estableix el MODE switch on the front panel to MONO 3-WAY.
3. Connecteu el LOW OUTPUT L to the input of your low-frequency ampmés viu.
4. Connecteu el MID OUTPUT L to the input of your mid-frequency ampmés viu.
5. Connecteu el HIGH OUTPUT L to the input of your high-frequency ampmés viu.
6. If using a subwoofer, connect the SUB OUT to the input of your subwoofer ampsubwoofer més viu o actiu.

2. Configuració inicial: Estableix-ho tot GUANY D'ENTRADA i NIVELL DE SORTIDA controls to their center (0 dB) position. Set crossover frequencies to a starting point recommended by your speaker manufacturer, or a common value like 100 Hz for low/high and 2 kHz for mid/high.
3. Ajust del nivell d'entrada: Play an audio signal through your system. Adjust the GUANY D'ENTRADA until the signal is strong but the LED CLIP only flashes occasionally on peaks.
4. Crossover Frequency Adjustment: Carefully adjust the XOVER FREQ controls to achieve the desired frequency separation. Listen for smooth transitions between frequency bands.
5. Ajust del nivell de sortida: Utilitza l'individu NIVELL DE SORTIDA controls to balance the volume of each frequency band. The MUT buttons can be used to isolate bands for easier adjustment.
6. Integració del subwoofer: Ajusteu el FREQ. SUBWOOFER i SUBWOOFER GAIN controls to blend the subwoofer output seamlessly with the main speakers.
7. Alineació de fase: Experimenta amb el INVERSIÓ DE FASE switches if you notice phase cancellation or an unnatural sound. This helps ensure all speakers are working in phase.
