- 2-channel device, 1 input per channel (Left/Right), 3 outputs per channel
- Outputs per channel: Mid-Hi, Mid-Bass/AUX, Sub
Controls per channel:
- Gain: -12 to +6 dB for each output section and master
- Mute: Individual Mute switch with LED for each output + Master Mute
- Mid-Hi Section: Array EQ filter -6dB at 220Hz, 0.6 octave bandwidth to correct low-mid rise from 3-5 MSL-4 array + Low Cut 160Hz, 12dB/oct, Q=0.8
- Mid-Bass/AUX: Low Cut 160Hz 12dB/oct + Polarity switch (0° / 180°)
- Sub: Polarity switch
- Crossover Switch: Mid-Bass & Sub Crossover at 80Hz – with switch in, divides at 80Hz between Mid-Bass and Sub outputs; switch out sends full-range to both
