I don't think there is an x/y terminal on any Klipsch autotransformer. There is an X terminal an Al Klappenberger's model 3619 giving him more attenuation options for his crossovers.

There is an X and Y on my 3636 autotransformer that also provide more (but different from Al's) attenuation values.

My 3636 model autotransformer is designed to replace any autotransformer that uses attenuation values from 1 to 12 db.

yeah, that's it..,. so how do we use the X and Y terminals if we need them? do you have a table of dB vs. connections that include the X and Y?

thanks

Attached is a PDF showing the connections for attenuation levels from 1 to 12 db for the 3636 autotransformer.

Thanks for that PDF file Bob! Having the 1dB steps is great. I'll sure be buying a couple of those from you soon. [;)]

Having connections for attenuation levels from 1 to 12 db for the 3636 autotransformer would be helpful for the DIY folks.

The T2A's tap settings introduces some hairy impediance muliplication factors when computing effective crossover points as a result of the impediance the T2A introduces on the various tap settings. Tap settings and estimated impediance multiplication factors for the T2A as indicated.

4 = 2.16x

3 = 4x

2 = 8x

1 = 16x
