Professional Crossover SC-234

Description

The POPE Professional® SC-234 Precision Stereo 2 or 3-Way/ Mono 4-Way Crossover is a perfect addition to any sound reinforcement system. Designed for PA and fixed-installation applications, the model SC-234 may be used as a stereo 2 or 3-Way crossover network or as a mono 4-Way crossover network. The model SC-234 employs 24dB/ octave state-variable, fourth-order, Linkwitz-Riley filters. Fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley filters guarantee in-phase outputs at all frequencies which is mandatory for the proper acoustic summing of common signals from adjacent drivers in the crossover region.

Each channel features input level, high and low output level and crossover frequency rotary controls. A frequency "x10" switch is provided for varying the crossover frequency from the standard 80Hz - 920Hz to 800Hz - 9200Hz. Front- panel output mute switches are provided for each individual output to ease system setup. The rear panel features XLR and active balanced 1/4" TRS input and output connectors as well as a 2 or 3- Way/ 4-Way mode selector switch. Power for the SC-234 is internal.

The POPE Professional® SC-234 Precision Stereo 2 or 3-Way/ Mono 4-Way Crossover has the features and performance you need for any audio application requiring a crossover. Housed in a rugged all-steel chassis, the model SC-234 will provide years of reliable and continuous performance.

Function Switches
Front Panel (Low Cut)
 Activates 40 Hz Butterworth, 12 dB/octave high-pass filter, one switch per channel
Phase Invert Inverts the phase at the output, one switch per output
Rear Panel x1 / x10:Multiplies the low-high(mono: low/mid and
high/mid) crossover frequency range of the front-panel markings by a factor of 1 or 10, one switch per channel
Mode Selects stereo 2-way, 3-way or mono 4-way operation and disables all LEDs for controls that are
non-functional in the mono mode
LF sum Selects normal (stereo) or mono-summed low frequency operation and disables Ch 2's low output phase invert LED to indicate that this output is not operational in the LF sum mode.
Indicators
