Description

View largerHow A Crossover Is UsedThe Planet Audio EC20B three-way electronic
crossover is a high-fidelity signal processor that allows you to customize the
low level output of your input source (a car radio), so that the signal can be
applied to an amplifier or amplifiers as a part of a two-way or three-way
mobile audio system. It is intended for use in a car audio system which
includes amplifiers in the signal path after the crossover, and provides
front, rear, and subwoofer low level outputs via RCA connectors.Parallel Input
SelectionThe EC20B is optimized for head units which provide outputs for Front
(UR), Rear (UR), and Subwoofer (UR) channels. But what if your head unit only
provides a single pair of stereo (UR) outputs? By setting the Parallel Input
selector control to Out, the signal applied to the Front (UR) EC20B inputs
will also be routed to the Rear channel. This eliminates the need for external
Y-adaptors, which can sometimes add noise to the system. Now you can provide
custom processing to the Rear channel independent of the settings you apply to
the front.SpecificationsCrossover center frequency ranges: Front (high pass) –
40-400Hz or 800Hz-8kHz; Rear (high pass) – 40-400Hz; Subwoofer (low pass) –

Channel Crossover MultiplierBy providing a way for you to select a frequency
from either a Mids/Highs range or a Tweeter range for the Front channel
crossover, we give you the choice to use this crossover in different
applications. For example, you can use the Front channel as a stereo Tweeter
channel by setting the Crossover Frequency Multiplier to the higher 800Hz-8kHz
range, and Rear channel can serve as the Mids/Highs channel, for a three-way
stereo system. Or you could create a four-channel system, with Front and Rear
channels reproducing the Mids/Highs.Subwoofer Input Mix OptionMany head units
also lack a subwoofer channel output. In this situation, by setting the Sub
Input control to Mix, the EC20B sub channel controls will be delivered a mix
of L Front/Rear to the Subwoofer Left Channel and a mix of the R Front Rear to
the Subwoofer Right channel. This eliminates the need for external Y adaptors
and mixer devices.Input, Output, Remote, and Power Connections View
largerInput, Output, Remote, And Power Connections Power LED Front And Rear
L/R Inputs: Connect the outputs of your head units to these connections and be
sure to place the Parallel Input selector in the In position. Parallel Input
Selector: If your audio source only has one pair of RCA inputs, placing this
switch in the Out position allows the signal source connected to the front
inputs to also be routed to the rear channel of the EC20B. Sub Input Source
Selector: If your audio source lacks a subwoofer channel output, placing this
switch in the Mix position will apply a mix of the front and rear channel of
each of the left and right inputs to the EC20B sub channel input. Subwoofer
Channel Input: Connect the subwoofer channel of your head unit to these
connectors and place the Sub Input selector in the Direct position. If no sub
channel outputs are available, see “Sub Input Source,” above. +12V, Ground And
Remote Turn-On Terminals: Use this control to select the highest frequency to
be sent to the subwoofer channel. Choose a frequency between 32 Hz and 250Hz.
Fuse Connector: Use only fuse with 3A rating. Front And Rear UR Outputs

Controls View largerFront And Rear Channel Controls High Pass Crossover: Use
this control to set the lowest frequency which will pass through the Front (or
Rear) Channel of your system. High Pass Crossover Frequency Multiplier (front
channel only): This selector sets the frequency range for the high pass
crossover. Choose the x1 position for 40Hz-400Hz range, or x20 for 800Hz-8kHz
range. Crossover Slope: Crossover slope determines how rapidly the drop-off in
sound level, measured in decibels/octave, occurs at the frequency selected by
the crossover. One octave is equal to one-half of the currently selected
frequency. For example, if you set the crossover to 80Hz and the slope to
18dB, the level at 40Hz to be 18dB lower than at 80Hz. Output Level Control:
This control allows you to independently set the output level of the channel.
