Page 3: The Purpose And Benefit Of This Tool
The purpose and benefit of the D’Amore Engineering / SMD Crossover Calibrator. The purpose of this tool is to enable the installer to set the crossover frequency of an electronic crossover to the desired frequency, accurately and quickly. It can also be useful for matching gains on multiple amplifier competition type systems.
Page 4: About The Design
About the design When you pick up the CC-1, know that you are holding a precision piece of equipment. If treated as such it should provide you with many years of reliable service. We have chosen a 9V battery as a power source for a few reasons: ...
Page 5: Power Requirements
Power requirements Pull the silicon rubber boot off of the unit by starting at one end and pulling off towards the other end. On the back side you will see the battery compartment. Slide battery compartment cover off towards bottom end of unit to reveal the 9V battery compartment.

11. Using the LEDs at the top of the CC-1, slowly turn the Infrasonic Filter frequency adjustment pot until the CALIBRATED LED illuminates. 12. Congratulations, you have just set the Infrasonic Filter frequency perfectly! Matching the gains of mulitiple amplifiers.
Page 12 9. The LEDs will indicate if the gain is too high or too low compared to the “Master” amplifier. 10. Adjust gain on the amplifier that the CC-1 is now connected to until the Calibrated LED illuminates. The amplifier’s gain is now matched to the Master amplifier’s gain within +/- 0.05dB !!

Solution: Tracks can be ripped to MP3, use 192kbps or higher. Problem: The CC-1 keeps turning off Solution: The CC-1 has an auto turn off timer, it will operate for 8-10 minutes after the “ON” button is pressed. This is to prevent it from eating your battery when you forget to turn it off.
Page 14: Where Do I Set My Crossover Frequency
Where do I set my crossover frequency? This could be debated for days, and it really comes down to user preference. Here are some guidelines for the novice as a good place to start. If you hear the full range speakers “popping” or “bottoming out” when you play it at high volumes after using value in the chart below, turn the crossover frequency up until it stops.
