QUICK START
Labels above the controls refer to the unit being operated in the
2- or 3-Way Stereo mode. Labels below the controls refer to the
unit being operated in the 4- or 5-Way Mono mode.
Set the STEREO/MONO switch appropriately. The fact that
the AC 23S is a multiple function unit means the outputs are
switched around in Mono mode.
To operate the unit in Stereo 3-Way mode, be sure the rear
panel switches are set for STEREO 3-Way, and the 4W / 5W
switch is set for 5-Way. Following the labels above the controls
and jacks in logical order, you will find Channel 1 Master Input
LEVEL, LOW Output, MID Output, and HIGH Output, with
the same for Channel 2. If you need a summed Mono Low Ou-
put, see ‘Monoing the Low Outputs’ on page Manual-15.
To use the unit as a Mono 5-Way, first check that the Chan-
nel 1 and 2 switches are set to 3-WAY, and the push-switch is
depressed for MONO. Connect the INPUT source to Channel 1
only. Following the labels below the jacks, look at SUB OUT,
then look over at LOW OUT, now go back to MID OUT, then
over to HIGH-MID OUT and then proceed to the HIGH
OUT.
There are two different configurations for Mono 4-Way
systems. If your LOW / MID can use a crossover frequency
between 70 Hz-1 kHz, see page Manual-7. If your LOW / MID
prefers a higher range of 190 Hz-7 kHz, see page Manual-8.
In agreement with IEC and AES/ANSI standards, AC 23S
wiring convention is pin 2 Positive, pin 3 Negative (return),
pin 1 to chassis ground. See the “Sound System Interconnection”
RaneNote included with this manual for more information on
cabling and grounding requirements.
