SR835 Crossover
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations,and thank you for your purchase of the DOD SR835 Crossover.
The SR835 is a high quality sound reinforcement tool capable of providing your
PA or sound reinforcement system with speaker protection and the increased
clarity and efficiency that results when bi-amping, or tri-amping.
1
So what is bi-amping, and tri-amping? A bi-amped system means you are using
two power amps to drive separate ranges of frequencies.The crossover is doing
a two way split, separating the high frequencies from the low frequencies and
directing the two ranges to different outputs. One amp receives the low fre-
quencies,and powers your bass speakers.The other power amp receives the high
frequencies and powering the horns, or high frequency speakers.Tri-amping uses
three power amps because the crossover is separating the lows, mids, and highs
from each other.
The SR835 is capable of 2 way splits(bi-amp) in stereo, and three way splits (tri-
amp) in mono.The SR835 uses Butterworth state variable filters providing an 18
dB per octave slope for the selected crossover frequency. This means that if you
have selected the crossover frequency to be 500Hz for instance, the signal com-
ing out of the the low frequency output will loose 18 dB of signal for every
octave above 500 Hz. Likewise, the high frequency output will lose 18 dB of sig-
nal for every octave below 500 Hz.
This Owner’s Manual is your guide to understanding how to get the most out of
the SR835. Please read it carefully and familiarize yourself with the controls on
the SR835. By doing so, you will be assured to increase the over all efficiency of
your system for years to come.
Your SR835 was carefully assembled and packaged at the factory. Before contin-
uing any further, please make sure the following items have been included:
1 SR835
1 Owners Manual
1 Warranty Card
1 Detachable Power Cord

INSTALLATION
4
Install the crossover in a rack with the provided rack screws. Route the AC
power cord to a convenient power outlet away from audio lines. The unit may
be turned on and off using the front panel power switch. Since the units draw a
relatively small amount of current during idle, they can be left on continuously.
DOD crossovers generate very little heat during operation and thus do not
need to be specially ventilated or cooled. The units should not, however, be sub-
jected to high temperatures for extended periods. Although the unit's chassis is
shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, extremely
high RF and EMI fields should be avoided.
ATTENTION: Use only one Channel output connector for each frequency
range at a time. Using the balanced and unbalanced outputs for the same fre-
quency range at the same time can unbalance balanced lines, cause phase can-
cellation, short a conductor to ground, or cause damage to other equipment
connected to the crossover.
FOR BALANCED 1/4 “ TRS PHONE PLUG CONNECTION - Wire the con-
nectors as follows:

Once the crossover has been installed and adjusted for the required cross fre-
quencies, and levels, an optional security panel can be installed to keep unautho-
rized persons from changing settings.

BI-AMP APPLICATIONS
For bi amp applications, the SR835 must be set to the Stereo mode regardless of
whether you are running in stereo or mono. The Stereo mode configures the
SR835 as two individual channels, each providing a two way split. If you are run-
ning your sound system in stereo, both channels would be used: one for the left,
and one for the right. If you are running in mono, only one of these channels
would be used but the SR835 would still be set to Stereo mode in order to
achieve a two way split. The following procedure outlines the steps for running
a bi-amped system in mono. Begin these steps with the power to the SR835
turned off.
5
1. Make sure the Mono Mode switch on the front panel of the SR835 is in the
“out” position. The LED next to this switch should be off.
2. Turn the Channel 1 Gain knob to 0 (fully counterclockwise).
3. Set the Channel 1 Low and High Level knobs to - infinity (fully counterclock-
wise clockwise).
4. Connect from the output of the mixer or source signal to the Channel 1 input
of the SR835.
5. Connect from the Channel 1 Low Bal (for balanced lines), or Low Unbal (for
unbalanced lines) to the input of the power amp driving the bass speakers.
6. Connect from the Channel 1 High Bal (for balanced lines), or High Unbal (for
unbalanced lines) to the input of the power amp driving the horns or high fre-
quency speakers.
7. Consult the manufacturers specifications for your speakers to determine the
proper crossover frequency. This will usually be listed as the frequency
response or frequency range of your high frequency speakers or horns. Set
the Channel 1 Frequency knob slightly higher than the lowest specified fre-
quency.
Note: The markings on the SR835 Frequency knob range from 100 Hz. to 1000
Hz..The push button switch to the left of the Frequency knob will multi-
ply these frequencies by 10 extending the range from 1000 Hz. to 10,000
Hz..
8.Apply power to your mixer,then to the SR835,and finally to your power amps.
Begin sending signal through the system. Gradually turn up the High Level first
and confirm correct wiring.Turn up the Low Level to balance the tonality.Adjust
the Gain knob for appropriate signal strength.
Note: This procedure will also apply to Stereo bi-amping. Simply repeat steps2
through 7 for Channel 2.

TRI-AMP APPLICATIONS
For tri amp applications, the SR835 must be set to the Mono mode. The Mono
mode configures the SR835 as one channels providing a three way split. If you
are running your sound system in stereo, you would need two SR835s in order
to run a Stereo tri amp configuration. The following procedure outlines the
steps for running a tri amped system. Begin with the power turned off.
6
1. Make sure the Mono Mode switch on the front panel of the SR835 is in the
“in” position. The LED next to this switch should be on.
2. Turn the Channel 1 Gain knob to 0 (fully counterclockwise).
3. Set the Channel 1 Low and the Channel 2 Mid and High Level knobs to - infin
ity (fully counterclockwise).
4. Connect from the output of the mixer or source signal to the Channel 1 input
of the SR835.
5. Connect from the Channel 1 Low Bal (for balanced lines), or Low Unbal (for
unbalanced lines) to the input of the power amp used to drive the bass speak-
ers.
6. Connect from the Channel 2 Mid Bal (for balanced lines), or Mid Unbal (for
unbalanced lines) to the input of the power amp used to drive the mid range
speakers.
7. Connect from the Channel 2 High Bal (for balanced lines), or High Unbal (for
unbalanced lines) to the input of the power amp used to drive the horns or
high frequency speakers.
8. Consult the manufacturers specifications for your speakers to determine the
proper crossover frequency for your mid range speakers. This will usually be
listed as the frequency response or frequency range. Set the Channel 1
Frequency knob slightly higher than the lowest specified frequency for the mid
range speakers.
9. Consult the manufacturers specifications for your speakers to determine the
proper crossover frequency for your high frequency speakers or horns. This
will usually be listed as the frequency response or frequency range. Set the
Channel 2 Frequency knob slightly higher than the lowest specified frequen-
cy.
Note: The markings on the SR835 Frequency knobs range from 100 Hz.to 1000
Hz..The push button switch to the left of the Frequency knob will multi-
ply these frequencies by 10 extending the range from 1000 Hz. to 10,000
Hz..
10. Apply power to your mixer, then to the SR835, and finally to your power
amps.

Begin sending signal through the system. Gradually increase the High, then Mid,
and finally Low Levels in order checking for correct wiring.Then balance the
tonality of the source signal.You may also need to increase the Gain if a stronger
signal is required.
STEREO USING A MONO SUB-WOOFER
The setup procedure is the same as for the stereo bi amp application, except
that instead of connecting both low frequency outputs, connect only the Low
Frequency Sum output to the low frequency amplifier. Set both Channel 1 and
Channel 2 Low Level controls to the same level to ensure that both controls
contribute the same amount of signal to the Low Frequency Sum output.
