ELITE.65cs Owner’s Manual
A few words ABOUT Design
CrossOver WIring and Internal Switches
Thank you for purchasing the Phoenix Gold Elite.65cs speaker system. It features a 25mm pure silk dome tweeter
that resides in an anodized aluminum housing that has been CNC’d from a single block of raw aluminum. The 6.5”
midrange also features a dual roll surround that eliminates unwanted resonances, acoustical artifacts and dampens
mechanical vibrations. The tweeter and midrange has been specically engineered with complex FEA analysis that
perfectly optimizes the motor structures. Engineering a great tweeter and midrange is not enough to guarantee
excellent sound quality. The Elite passive crossovers are computer modeled and then real world (in car tested and
further tweaked) to provide a seamless transition from the midrange to tweeter.
The overall result is ultra smooth, linear musical output with excellent spectral clarity without delivering overly
bright or fatiguing high frequencies commonly found in most car audio component systems. The Elite speaker
system provides breathtaking dynamic range and precision musical realism.
Tweeter Level Switch: Allows the tweeter’s output
level to be adjusted -2dB, 0dB and +2dB.
Midbass Enhancement EQ Switch: If set to “On”
this will enhance midbass output and contour down
the midrange output. This is the best setting for end
users that listen to modern music styles and mostly MP3
material.
Set to “O” the system will have a truly at frequency
response, perfect for the sound quality competitor or
pure audiophile.
For most sound boards, we recommend to set the
tweeter to 0dB or +2dB and Midbass Enhancement EQ
to “On” for best performance. Results and ears may vary.
Tweeter Protection: Most component speakers oer
a simple one stage ” tweeter shut down” for protection.
The Elite system provides two stages (polyswitch and
lightbulb) that variably optimizes the signal to the
tweeter when automatically activated. This protection
system adapts to the dynamic signal level of the music,
so it always provides just the “right” level of protection.
The Elite protection circuit is also constantly
monitoring the signal without actually running the
signal through these components until the protection
circuit is engaged. Most other two stage or complex
tweeter protection circuits require the signal to run
through these components, this can degrade audio
performance.
