The filter slopes are 12 dB per octave, and the filter frequencies are programmable via provided SIP resistor networks. A slide switch, SW1, allows you to configure the SF-1 with a low-end “boost” which provides a suitable equalization for use with B6 speaker enclosures. A 10-position DIP switch, SW2, affords you the versatility of setting the accessory in many different configurations, such as mono summing and single channel bypass.

CONFIGURATION SETTING THE SUBSONIC FILTER FREQUENCY The subsonic (highpass) filter on Channel 1 cannot be bypassed, and Channel 2 should only be bypassed in the bridged mono mode. Plug-in SIP resistor network RN3 sets the high-pass frequency for both channels 1 and 2.

9 and 10, are complementary. That is, if position 1 is “ON,” 2 must be “OFF” and vice versa; if 3 is “ON,” 4 must be off, and so on. To prevent improper operation of the SF-1 and the amplifier, and possible damage that may result to the accessory, amplifier, or loudspeaker, check your switch settings carefully before you install the SF-1 in your amplifier.
6. Connect the ribbon cable from the amplifier (the cable you disconnected from the input panel card) to the SF-1 circuit board, using J3 (figure 2c) . Make sure the cable is not twisted; the red stripe on the cable should be toward the right, from your point of view. Newer amplifiers have a keyed connector on the ribbon cable.
