3.2 Ampליפער איבערview
The HELIX M SIX amplifier features a sleek, compact design. The top panel displays the HELIX logo and model name. The input and control connections are located on one end, while the power and speaker output connections are on the opposite end.
3.3 Input and Control Connections
The input side of the amplifier houses the RCA inputs for channels A through F, along with various controls for input level and crossover settings. The 'Input Mode' switch for channels E & F is also located here.
3.4 Power and Speaker Output Connections
The opposite end of the amplifier provides terminals for power input (+12V, REM, GND) and speaker outputs for all six channels. Ensure correct polarity and secure connections for all speaker wires.
4. Operation and Controls
4.1 Input Level Adjustment
Adjust the 'INPUT LEVEL' controls for each channel pair (A/B, C/D, E/F) to match the output voltage of your head unit. Start with the level set to minimum and gradually increase until a clean, undistorted sound is achieved at high volume levels from your head unit.
4.2 קראָסאָוווער סעטטינגס
The M SIX features an integrated active crossover with adjustable filters for precise sound tuning:
- הויך-פּאַס פילטער (HPF): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass through. Adjustable from 15 Hz to 4,000 Hz.
- נידעריק-פּאַס פילטער (LPF): Allows frequencies below the set point to pass through. Adjustable from 40 Hz to 4,000 Hz.
- Band-Pass Filter: Achieved by combining HPF and LPF settings, allowing a specific range of frequencies to pass. Adjustable from 15 Hz to 4,000 Hz.
- סובסאָניק פילטער: A high-pass filter specifically for subwoofers, typically set below the audible range to protect the speaker from damaging low frequencies. Adjustable from 15 Hz to 4,000 Hz.
The slope for high-pass and low-pass filters is 12 dB/Octave.
4.3 Input Mode Switch (Channels E & F)
The 'Input Mode' switch for channels E & F allows flexible signal distribution. Refer to the amplifier's control panel (Figure 2) for specific settings and their functions, which typically include options like stereo, summed, or full-range input for these channels.
