Crossover Switch - INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFER DIRECT This switch allows the microVee’s internal crossover circuitry to be bypassed. This is required in certain installations which route the signal through external processors with a crossover circuit of their own. Simply move the switch to SUBWOOFER DIRECT to disengage the built-in crossover.

In some installations, simply setting one crossover to a higher frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum performance.
