SETTING GAIN CONTROLS
The gain control is provided for level matching purposes; it does not give the amplifier
any more power by turning it up – its purpose is to adjust the sensitivity of the amplifier
in relation to the output level provided by the source.
Start with the amp gain set to minimum by turning the control counter-clockwise. Turn
the source level up until distortion is barely audible – this will be at about 75-80% of full
volume. Raise the amplifier gain until distortion is just audible. The gain is now set correctly.
Check the level with CD/tape and tuner to make sure the adjustment is correct for all
sources.
OPTIONAL ACTIVE SIGNAL PROCESSING MODULES
All KICKER amplifiers have a Module Docking Port, which allows the use of any KICKER
Module. These modules greatly increase your amplifier’s versatility, and cost very little
when compared to “stand alone” units with the same functions.
Active Crossover Modules:
These 2-way modules allow you to use separate amplifiers for your subwoofers, midbass
drivers, midranges, or tweeters. By doing this, especially on the subwoofer, a clean and
undistorted sound is available at much higher listening levels.
Each module offers a range of selectable crossover frequencies and 24dB/octave filtering.
• SWX – 60Hz, 80Hz, or 100Hz subwoofer/midbass or midrange crossover.
• MRX – 175Hz, 250Hz, or 350Hz midbass/midrange crossover.
• TWX – 3500Hz or 4500Hz midrange/tweeter crossover.
Specialty Modules:
• EEM (Electronic Enclosure Module) – When used with KICKER Freeair™ woofers,
this module simulates the response of KICKER Competition™ woofers in
a sealed enclosure.
• EQM (Equalization Module) – Frequency Enhancement and extension module
that equalizes frequencies in the low bass region as well as the upper
treble regions.
• CRM (Center/Rear Fill Module) – This module allows one amplifier to drive a
center channel and rear speakers independently at the same time.
• RGX (Remote Gain Module) – An ideal amplifier enhancement module that pro
vides a remote gain control function.
• PBM (Parametric Bass Module) is designed to meet the demand for a
remote-controllable bass EQ to enhance your bass listening pleasure and
to allow you to adjust the bass boost and center frequency from the comfort
of the driver’s seat.
• KEQ (
KICK
EQ) – adds adjustable Bass Boost (up to +18dB at 40Hz) and Treble
Boost (up to +12dB at 18kHz).
• MMDP (Multi-Module docking Port) – Allows the use of two KICKER Active Signal
Processing Modules in a single amplifier.
See your Authorized KICKER Dealer for more high performance Active Signal Processing
Modules - the secret behind the amazing flexibility of KICKER amplifiers.
