How to Use a Rane AC 22S Crossover

The Rane AC 22S crossover is a stereo two-channel crossover system. The crossover is used to adjust and manage low and high sound frequencies. In a live or studio setup, different speakers are used to cover higher and lower frequencies. Because these speakers have limits in the range of sound they can produce, a crossover is used to help cover a wider range of sound frequencies.

Instructions

    • 1

      Rotate the knob under "CH 1 Master" to adjust the overall volume of channel 1, which is on the left side of the crossover panel. Rotating the knob to the right will increase volume.

    • 2

      Rotate the knob under "Mono Sub" to adjust the volume of the subwoofer, if you are using one. Rotating the knob to the right will increase volume.

    • 3

      Push in the button labeled "Mute Low" if you want to silence the subwoofers.

    • 4

      Rotate the knob labeled "Delay" to increase or decrease the amount of delay on the subwoofer. Increasing delay adds an echo effect to the sound.

    • 5

      Rotate the knob to select a crossover frequency between the low and high frequency outputs. The crossover frequency allows for a smooth sound transition between the low and high frequency speakers, which have certain cutoff frequencies.

    • 6

      Rotate the knob labeled "High" to adjust the output of the high frequencies.

    • 7

      Repeat steps 1 to 6 for channel 2, which is on the right side of the crossover panel.
