Advantages
1. Lower Distortion-The useofelectronicfrequencydividing
networksandmultipleamplifierspermitsdeliveryofoptimum
poweroverthedesiredaudiospectrumwithminimumdistor-
tion. Bydividingtheaudiospectrumpriortoamplification,the
individuallowfrequencyandhighfrequencyamplifierscan
performtheirfunctionswithgreatereffectiveness.
2. Flexibility— Insoundreinforcementapplicationsitisoften
desirabletocombineonelowfrequencydriverwithseveral

thus, onemayselectamplifiersoftheappropriatepowerfor
