IMPULSE 4.320 AMPLIFIER
U s e r m a n u a l
INPUT SELECT: this switch enables channels 1 and 2 to be played through channels 3 and 4.
If you only have one output (one right and one left), you can still amplify the four channels by activating
the 1/2 mode.
If you want to use the IMPULSE 4.320 with its independent 4-channel input configuration, select mode
3/4.
If you want to use the IMPULSE 4.320 with a 3-channel configuration, select mode 1+2. Channels 3/4 will
then receive the mono signal from channels 1 and 2 to drive your subwoofer.
PHASE (°): the PHASE knob enables you to adjust the channel phase according to the rest of the instal-
lation.
Adjusting the phase of the subwoofer enables the subwoofer output to be in phase with the other speaker
drivers. On a theoretical period of a signal, one of the sources can be delayed slightly so that the phase
will be perfectly balanced at the listening point.
X-OVER MODE: the crossover mode switch enables you to choose to activate the high-pass filter mode
(HPF), the low-pass filter mode (LPF) or the full range mode (FULL) for channels 3/4 or rear channels.
X-OVER FREQ (Hz): this knob controls the cut-off frequency by adjusting the low-pass and high-pass fil-
ter levels. The selected value determines the frequency up to which or from which the signal will be cut off.
FRONT CH. (1/2): this switch activates a high-pass filter set at 75Hz for the front channels. Use this setting
for solving issues related to door vibrations in vehicles not equipped with vibration dampeners.
