Well, that's one mystery solved - I think. What you are referring to is what the rest of us have been calling the external crossover boxes. That is what it is called in the MGIII manual also. They are metal with wood sides, correct? It has 1 set of inputs and 2 sets of outputs, 1 set for bass and 1 set for mid/tweeter. The instructions on top of the external crossover boxes do not match the MGIII manual, or the XO-1 manual. (Maybe they're left over from when they were used with the Tympanis?) The XO-1 being refered to is a black box that goes between your preamp and the power amps:
|-{treble power amp}-{speaker mid/hi}
{Pre}-{XO-1}-
|-{bass power amp}-{external crossover box}-{speaker bass}
The above diagram should show the ouputs from the XO-1 going to the power amps.
Anyhoo... I need to catch some shut eye (*yawn*) but I might be able to post the XO-1 manual tomorrow. I have 2 black box XO-1's gathering dust. If you need one you can have it for the cost of shipping.
Regards,
Steve

- You do have 2 of the external crossover boxes, right? One for each speaker? *nt* - MaggiesAndCats 20:03:50 08/09/10 (0)
