Introduction If you want to operate a loudspeaker system, which consists of several loudspeakers covering different frequency bands, then you naturally have to work with suitably differentiated input signals for each loudspeaker. To do this you need a frequency crossover which can split the input signal into several frequency bands. A difference should be noted between passive crossovers which are wired between amplifier and speaker, and active systems which are placed before the amplifiers in the signal chain. Multi-way speaker systems can be found almost everywhere today—and not only in stereo systems, but in cinemas, discotheques and concert halls. As customers have become more demanding they can even be found now in such “simple” products as TV sets. With the same sound pressure, low-frequency sound waves have a much greater amplitude (oscillation range) than high-frequency waves. When a single loudspeaker tries to produce bass and treble frequencies at the same time, a so-called intermodulation distortion will occur.
This means that, when the speaker diaphragm is displaced by low frequencies, the treble frequencies seem to be raised in loudness, or lowered when the diaphragm reverses its direction. We cannot therefore expect a single loudspeaker to reproduce signals, spanning the whole audible frequency spectrum at the same level of quality.
If, using a frequency crossover, a loudspeaker only has to reproduce a limited part of the frequency spectrum and it will do so at a greatly increased level of quality— thus producing a more regular frequency response and dispersion pattern. ◊ This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the SUPER-X PRO and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference. 1.1 Before you begin The BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX2310 was carefully packed in the factory, in order to ensure safe transport. Nevertheless, should the box show signs of damage please check the equipment itself immediately for any signs of external damage.
◊ If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee. Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling and please do not place the SUPER-X PRO on high-temperature devices such as power amplifiers, etc.
To avoid overheating. ◊ Before connecting the SUPER-X PRO to the mains, please carefully check that your equipment is set to the correct supply voltage!
The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite each other. The CX2310 is set to the operating voltage shown next to these markings. It can be set to another voltage by turning the fuse holder through 180°.
CAUTION: this does not apply to export models, which were designed e.g. Only for a mains voltage of 115 V! Connection to the mains is made by means of a mains cable with an IEC receptacle which complies with the appropriate safety regulations. ◊ Please note that all units must be grounded properly.

Control Elements Since the SUPER-X PRO offers a variety of features, we have provided the active controls with suitable light-emitting diodes. These displays help you to keep track of what is happening even in dark stage environments.
Additionally, all the switches on the front panel are illuminated and can thus show which functions are presently active. There are two labels in the form of strips, located above the controls. The text of the upper label indicates mono 3-way, and the lower label indicates stereo 2-way mode. The LED’s set below these labels show which controls are active in the respective mode of operation. ◊ On the rear panel, labels above/below the connectors refer to the various crossover modes available. Please make sure that the MODE switch and corresponding connectors are configured properly; otherwise, you could damage your speakers. 2.1 Stereo 2-way operation with separate subwoofer signal First,activatethe2-waymodeusingtheMODEswitchontherearpanel (switchdepressed).TheSTEREOLED on the front panel above the LOW CUT switch in the second channel lights up.

Page: 6 7 SUPER-X PRO CX2310 User Manual 3. Applications You will need some tools to help set up the SUPER-X PRO to its optimal configuration.
To set up the crossover frequency you need to know which frequency range a loudspeaker stack covers, over which range the sound energy is linearly transmitted, and where reductions or increases in the frequency response occur. In addition, every room has different size and quality characteristics. These strongly influence the sound response, since resonances and reflections in the different frequency ranges can also lead to reductions or increases in the sound picture. You will need suitable equipment in order to be able to recognize and compensate for these features. 3.1 Tools You will need a high-grade microphone for making measurements.
This should have a frequency response that should be as linear as possible (e.g. The BEHRINGER measurement microphone ECM8000) and at least linear over the range from 90 Hz and 15 kHz. Place the microphone about 5 m. In front of the speaker system and between the diaphragms of the two frequency bands you wish to measure.
When using a measuring microphone to set the levels for the individual frequency bands and the crossover frequencies, you should only operate one loudspeaker stack. For optimal settings you will usually need to reposition the microphone between two successive measurements. When used in combination with a measuring microphone and a generator producing pink noise via an input into the P.A. Mixing console, an analyzer will show the sound energy distribution over the individual frequency bands (usually in 1/3 of an octave). The BEHRINGER ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024 equalizer/analyzer is the ideal tool for this application. When listening to the overall sound of your system, you should walk around in the audience area and try to detect resonance frequencies or cancellations. The sound should be optimized for the position where most of the audience will be gathered, without however neglecting other areas.
This often means that the system must be operated in mono. Whenever you use technical aids such as analyzers, measuring microphones, etc., you should check the desired results with your own ears.
◊ BEHRINGER accepts no responsibility for any damage or destruction of loudspeakers arising from improper or incorrect use of the SUPER-X PRO and in particular from actions which are in contravention with the clearly stated procedures given in this manual. 3.2 Setting the input and output levels Both inputs offer a gain or loss of up to 12 dB. Normally, the output level on the mixing console and the input sensitivity of the amplifiers are identical, i.e. 0 dB at the mixing console corresponds with 0 dB at the amplifiers. This means that there is full control over the amplifiers.
In this case the SUPER-X PRO should have no effect on the system level and all input and output level settings should be set at 0 dB. A home recording or disco console is being used with an operating level of -10 dBV but the amplifiers need +4 dBu for complete control, then an additional gain of 12 dB must be provided between them.
In this case the INPUT control of the SUPER-X PRO should be set to the maximum. The output levels of the single bands can be raised/lowered by as much as 6 dB. To achieve a linear frequency response in the system, all output levels should be adjusted with the help of an analyzer. To check the crossover frequencies and levels, mute all outputs except for one, and play back pink noise over the system at an appropriate volume level. When you now switch on the adjacent band, the level measured around the crossover frequency should go up by 3 dB. Repeat this process for all crossover frequencies. 3.3 Correcting problems Check the entire frequency response of the system.
Behringer
Rooms have quite an impact on the frequency response of speaker systems, due to resonance and various reflections, so you cannot expect to achieve a linear frequency response right from the start. To achieve this, you need an equalizer such as the ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024 or the ULTRA-GRAPH GEQ3102. Look for drop-outs around the crossover frequencies! If the frequency response is very irregular, then it can make sense to grade adjust it using the frequency crossover, before using an equalizer (EQ). The errors in the crossover frequency must then be as far as possible corrected using the EQ. If the loudspeaker diaphragms in a multi-way system are not exactly aligned along a vertical axis, the varying distances between the sound source and the listener result in phase errors and cancellations (also known as the “comb filter effect”).
Particularly in the higher frequencies it is important, due to the shorter wavelengths, to position the diaphragms above each other and not next to each other. The various types of construction used in individual systems (horns, bass reflex cabinets etc.) still give rise to run time differences, even where the front sides of all systems are aligned vertically above each other. In this case a run time correction must be made by electronic means.
This can be done by using a delay function. Run time differences can be compensated by delaying the frequency bands over a range of milliseconds. This helps avoid loss of sound quality, particularly in the high tone ranges. ◊ Runtime correction is not the same as phase correction. If a speaker system has the same run times then it also has the same phases (unless the polarity of a cable has been reversed). However the opposite is not necessarily true. 3.4 Setting the crossover frequencies The frequency range from which the crossover frequencies can be selected, can be one of two ranges—from 44 to 930 Hz and from 440 Hz to 9.3 kHz.
To set the crossover frequencies, please first read the manufacturers’ specifications for the individual loudspeaker components. To use the capacity of your system at its best you should set up the crossover frequencies in accordance with the frequency diagrams on the individual loudspeaker boxes. Further, the crossovers should not lie on peaks or drop-outs.
Look for a range with the flattest possible curve. If folded bass horns are being used, then the length of the horn path must also be taken into account, since the run time displacements arising from differing long paths can also have a negative effect on the frequency development (see chapter 3.3). ◊ Never operate loudspeakers or horn drivers below the limiting frequency specified by the manufacturer! 3.5 SUBWOOFER output To achieve a very loud and deep bass playback the SUPER-X PRO has an additional mono subwoofer output for 2-way and 3-way operation. In this sense the CX2310 is a stereo 2-way + mono 1-way or mono 4-way frequency crossover.
The subwoofer signal is mono, since people cannot sense the location of lower frequencies. Another reason is that combining all bass signals into a single signal produces an excellent effect. This is because two bass speaker boxes combined together produce 3 dB more sound pressure than if they were separated from each other by a small distance. The increased pressure is due to the speakers producing a single wave front. With four loudspeaker boxes the increase is 6 dB. The reason here is the spherical shape of the expanding low-frequency sound waves.
Bass boxes which are separate from each other can mutually disrupt each other where their sound waves meet (what happens here can be easily imagined if you throw two stones into water—first separately and then stuck together). Page: 7 8 SUPER-X PRO CX2310 User Manual 4. Audio Connections As a standard, the BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX2310 is equipped with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs.
The circuit design features automatic hum suppression for balanced signals and so ensures trouble-free operation, even at the highest operating levels. Externally induced mains hum, etc. Can therefore be effectively suppressed. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (6-dB correction). ◊ Please ensure that only qualified persons install and operate the SUPER-X PRO.
During installation and operation the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit.

This button reverses the polarity of the Low output. LOW MUTE button. Mutes the Low band. LOW-MID OUTPUT control. Controls the output level of the Low-Mid band from +6 to -6 dB. For making measurements you need a high-grade microphone with a frequency response that should be as linear as possible over the entire frequency range (e.g. BEHRINGER measuring microphone ECM8000), or at least between 90 Hz and 15 kHz.
Place the microphone about 5 m in front of the speaker system to be measured, in a height where it is on axis with the drivers of the two frequency bands you wish to measure. (horns, bass reflex cabinet, etc.). The BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO allows you to delay the Low bands by up to 2 milliseconds. In this way, you can virtually push back a specific speaker cabinet by as much as 68.6 cm (which is quite useful, for example, when you place a constant-directivity horn (CD) on top of a closed speaker cabinet).
SUPER-X PRO CX3400 3.5.2 Basics of electronic runtime correction It is important to know how the dimensions of time and space are connected with each other, e.g. By using a tape measure and a pocket calculator. Example: a delay of 2 ms corresponds to a distance of 68.6 cm; when you measure an offset of 30 cm you can calculate the necessary delay as follows: 2 ms x 30 / 68.6 = 0.87 ms. When the speaker offset is greater than 68.6 cm you can only move the speaker cabinets.
Runtime correction is not the same as the signal delay applied to offset groups of speakers. Here, the entire signal must be delayed by a much greater amount (a suitable delay circuit is included, for example, in the BEHRINGER ULTRA-CURVE DSP8024).
