SETTING THE GAIN
After completing the installation, follow these steps to set the Gain Control and
then perform the Final System Check.
1. Turn the Gain Control all the way counter-clockwise.
2. Turn the ON/OFF Switch on the source units to the ON position. Set all Tone or
Equalization Controls to "flat" positions and turn Loudness off.
3. Play a CD, set the Volume Control at 75% of full level.
NOTE: If the system uses an equalizer, set its frequency controls to "flat"
positions.
4. Slowly increase the Gain Control. Stop when you hear a slight distortion of audio.
SETTING THE CROSSOVER
The Clarion XN3210 and XN3410 feature fully adjustable high and low pass
crossovers. To set the crossover, follow these steps.
1. Using the X-Over Mode Switch, select the desired mode: LP for Low Pass, HP
for High Pass or OFF for Full Range.
2. Using the Freq (Hz) Selection Control, select the desired frequency. If the
desired frequency exceeds the range of the Freq (Hz) Selection Control, press
the Crossover Frequency Multiplier Switch to increase the value by a multiplier
of 10.
• For example, 55Hz x 10 = 550Hz or 550Hz x 10 = 5.5kHz.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for both the CH1/CH2 and CH3/CH4 crossovers on the
XN3410.
SETTING THE SUBWOOFER BASS BOOST
1. Initially set the Bass Boost control to its full left position (i.e. 0dB).
2. Listen to a variety of music styles (e.g. Rock, Rap, etc.) and slowly increase
the Bass Boost control until a noticeable increase in low bass response is
perceived.
3. Slowly adjust the Bass Boost control (up or down) to realize the best bass
response.
CAUTION: If you hear a "pop" (due to speaker over-excursion), lower the
Bass Boost to prevent speaker damage. If the system sounds muddy and
distorted (due to amplifier clipping), lower Bass Boost to avoid shutdown from
overheating.
