About the Crossover

Crossover:
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed. The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows). Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

Adjustable slope: 0 (FLAT)*1, 1 (6dB/oct.), 2 (12dB/oct.) 3 (18dB/oct.), 4 (24dB/oct.) * FLAT can be set for the HIGH slope only when USER'S is selected in Setting the Response Slope for the High Range Speaker (TW SETUP) (page 29). Depending on the response characteristics of the speaker, care should be taken when setting the response slope to FLAT, as speaker damage may result. With the CDA-9855, a message is displayed when the response slope for the high range speaker is set to FLAT.
