About the AudioControl 2XS
Feed your amps the right signals in your 2-way system
Feed your amps the right signals in your 2-way system
In a 2-way audio system, the mids and highs get the high-pass signal while the subwoofer gets bass. You amplify each signal separately, resulting in greater power handling and sonic clarity. AudioControl's 2XS 2-way crossover uses a steep 18 dB per octave slope to separate the high and low frequencies, along with a built-in line driver that'll beef up the signal so your amplifiers will have something clean and powerful to work with.
High- and low-pass filters
The 2-way crossover features one set of inputs and two sets of outputs: high-pass and low-pass. You can change the preset 90 Hz crossover point by installing another AudioControl module, or by modifying the module installed in your 2XS. A built-in filter removes subsonics from your signal so your amps and subs will play more efficiently.
Simple to set up and adjust
Once connected, the 2XS makes it simple to attain a strong and balanced signal for your amplifier — you adjust the levels for 1-volt or 3-volts minimum RMS output and for smooth-sounding response. Balanced inputs reject noise caused by your vehicle's electrical system, but internal switching gives you other options for dealing with ground loops.

Features
Crossover: The crossover point between the high-pass and low-pass outputs is 90 Hz and the crossover slope is 18 dB/octave. The crossover point is governed by a replaceable chip, so it can be modified.
Subsonic Filter: The subsonic filter crossover point is 33 Hz and the crossover slope is 18 dB/octave. The crossover point is governed by a replaceable chip, so it can be modified.
Line Driver: The adjustable output levels allow you to increase the head unit's line voltage to the top of your amp's input range; up to 9.5 volts RMS/13 volts peak. The output voltage is proportional to the input voltage; approximately 5.6 volt RMS input is required to drive 9.5 volts RMS output.
Balanced Inputs: Using the balanced differential input circuit cancels noise picked up in the transmission line between the 2XS and the source unit.
Ground Isolation: The power supply ground is switchable, in case of ground loop noise. The factory position is fully isolated (typically the best choice), but can be changed to Ground or 200Ω.
Terminal Blocks: The power/ground/remote terminal is removable; the wiring is attached to the terminal block, then the block is plugged into the 2XS. The terminal block will accommodate wire up to 12 gauge.
Inputs and Outputs:
- Line Input: stereo RCA, balanced
- High-Pass Output: stereo RCA, frequencies above 90 Hz
- Low-Pass Output: stereo RCA, frequencies below 90 Hz
- Power Input: removable terminal block
Specifications:
- Maximum Output: 9.5 volts RMS/13 volts peak
- Frequency response: 15 Hz-20 kHz; ±1 dB
- THD: 0.005%
- S/N Ratio: 115dB

Excellent piece. Can be used to divide frequencies from a normal full range system for a subwoofer or to divide frequencies within the full bandwidth for active component speakers with separate amplification. Very small in size and easy to set up.
