BEFORE SETUP The following guidelines will ensure a smooth and accurate setup procedure. Have the MultEQ CD, microphone and MultEQ LED available and take a note of the conditions below as they are needed in the next section. 1. The PXE-H660 has the ability to drive a full-range or two-way front speaker output system configuration. In the case of a two-way system (bi-amping a set of components), make sure the tweeter amplifier channels go to the L1/R1 RCA outputs and the midrange amplifier channels go to the L2/R2 RCA outputs. At this time, set the crossover point for the high-pass speakers. Use the manufacturer recommended tweeter high-pass crossover frequency point (5 kHz by default). The mid-bass lowpass cut-off is determined by tweeter high-pass. If there is a subwoofer in the system, the low pass cut-off will be set automatically by MultEQ. In the case of a full-range system, the front speaker amplifier channels must connect to the FRONT L2/R2 outputs only. Full-Range Two-Way Only use L2/R2 RCA outputs to the front speaker amplifier channel Use L1/R1 RCA outputs to the tweeter amplifier channels, and use L2/R2 RCA outputs to the midrange amplifier channels Front Speaker Amp Tweeter Amp Front Midrange Amp Front Speakers Front Speakers 11
