4) Front Crossover Control Cont.
Slowly rotate the input sensitivity control clockwise until maximum undistorted
playing level is heard from the speakers. Listen closely for bottoming from the
speakers. If detected, rotate the input sensitivity control counterclockwise until it is
eliminated. Slowly rotate the highpass crossover control counterclockwise while
listening for bottoming. You are lowering the crossover point, which means that
more bass signal is being sent to the speakers. If bottoming is detected, rotate the
input sensitivity control counterclockwise until it is eliminated and/or rotate the
Highpass crossover control clockwise to raise the crossover point.
5) Rear Crossover Control
Move the selector switch to “LP” (refer to the diagram on page 3). In this
setting, lowpass signal is sent to the speaker outputs. Experiment with the
crossover point settings while the subwoofer is active. A higher setting will
increase the perceived output, and a lower setting will make the bass
response more omnidirectional.
6) Q-Tune
™
Control
Once the crossover point has been determined, you may choose to use Q-Tune
™
to
increase the bass information. Q-Tune will offer a +6dB bass boost centered at 45Hz
which can be beneficial if more low bass output is desired. To engage Q-Tune move
the selector switch to the “ON” position (refer to the diagram on page 3).
7) Optional GTA-RSL Control
The optional remote level control (GTA-RSL) gives you independent level adjustment
of the subwoofer’s output level beyond the standard system volume control. Please
refer to the RSL’s manual for installation instruction. The GTA-RSL is available sepa-
rately, please consult your authorized Boston Acoustics dealer.
Note; If using the GTA-504 to run front and rear speakers, set rear X-over to HP and
follow set up/tuning instructions for the front channels for rear.
