i have a behringer cx3400

i want this to be a 2 way

as i have 2 amps 1 for low bass and one for sounds

as i see on the cross over

if i have 2 way is that mean i have no mid

to setup 2 way,

connect the low amp to low output

your tops amp to high output

you then have to press the first mode button in and the 2nd out, This will put it into stereo, The mode buttons this is on the rear in the middle

You can check its correct is it will light an amber light next to stereo on the front

Set the input gains to 0 i.e 12 o clock and delay off, As you wont realy need that

Then simply set the cross freq, try around 120HZ and tweak it for you bins, Until it sounds nice to you, If you get vocals through the bins it could be the 1x or 10x button pressed in the rear, As it has 2 different freq ranges, took me a while to figure it out at first

Then adjust the output levels of the low and high output until sounds sweet

Ok mate, If you need any more help drop a pm,

Forget to say, Tweak the bins first and leave the top amp off,

Easier for you to get the X freq sounding real nice :)

Yeah your running it 2 way, So the mid and high will go to the tops mate,

Its confusing i know,

Its because it can do 3 way to mate, Where you would have high mid and low i.e 3 amps

Give it a play tommorow, You will enjoy it, I have one next to me that was setup just yesterday :) they are a nice x over
