The ST-CX2 is a line-level two band crossover to drive audio power amplifiers. The input and outputs are balanced and may be connected unbalanced if necessary. The input accepts a +4 dBu line-level signal. The module operates at nominal unity gain.

The FULL RANGE output is designed for use with full-range speaker systems which do not contain a woofer (below 100 Hz). The passband is 100 Hz to 30 kHz, with an equalization adjustment centered at 2 kHz. Through the application of a smile-curve providing up to 8 dB attenuation through midband audio frequencies, the performance of the whole system may be significantly enhanced.

The WOOFER output is designed for use with woofers amplified independently of any full-range speakers. The passband is 40 Hz to 165 Hz when set flat, with an equalization BOOST adjustment centered at 50 Hz.

For systems also incorporating subwoofers, the LOOP THRU output connects to an input of the RDL ST-CX2S Subwoofer Crossover. The ST-CX2 features RDL's SupplyFlex power input configuration for operation directly from ground-referenced, floating or bipolar 24 Vdc power.

STICK-ON SERIES

STICK-ONs are the original application-specific modules for the A/V, recording and broadcast industries. Module functions include signal detection, switching, pre-amplification, format conversion, line driving, power amplification, mixing, distribution, gain control, equalization, routing and more. Each STICK-ON is an ultra-compact module engineered to provide higher performance and longer life than other industry products. STICK-ON modules are solid encapsulated hybrid circuits in durable industrial black plastic enclosures (1.55", 3.94 cm x 3", 7.62 cm x 0.65", 1.65 cm) with clear bold white lettering for the terminal block connections, recessed trimming controls and switches.

Since RDL first originated application-specific modules, STICK-ONs have led the industry in economical, high-performance and cost-effective long life solutions in system designs. Multiple STICK-ON modules can be interconnected to form all or part of an A/V system. A single STICK-ON module may be mounted right where its function is needed, often to add an input, output, or gain adjustment to existing equipment. STICK-ON modules allow customizing an A/V system to precisely match users’ needs. Adding STICK-ONs to an existing system can extend system life by adding updated features, resulting in considerable cost savings. A complete range of backboard and rack mounting options is available for systems comprised of multiple STICK-ON modules.

The technology used in STICK-ON modules has been regularly updated over the years to insure industry-leading performance. Functions and features provided by STICK-ONs, since their introduction, are still available today. This continuity in product offering and support makes STICK-ON modules the preferred long-term resource for system design solutions. STICK-ON SERIES modules are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
