REAR PANEl DESCRIPTION
8. FAN
These two variable speed fans automatically maintain safe in-
ternal temperature. Keep the front and rear vents clear to allow
full airflow. Hot air will be drawn out the back of the amplifier, so
it does not stay in the rack, and make sure plenty of cool air can
enter the rack.
9. RESET BREAKER
With rated loads and output levels, the breaker should only shut
down the amplifier in rare instances of catastrophic failure. The
circuit breaker can also shut down the amplifier in cases where
extremely low-impedance loads and high output levels result in
a current draw that exceeds its rating.This feature is not included
on the XP600.
10. POWER CORD
All units are shipped with an appropriate plug and cord for the
required AC voltage. This product is equipped with a 3-wire
grounding type plug. This is a safety feature and should not be
defeated. Check the AC voltage before connecting the plug.
11. CHASSIS GROUNDING CONNECTING POINT
Please refer to your local safety code for proper grounding.
12. OUTPUT CONNECTORS
A pair of versatile binding posts and Speakon connectors are
provided for output connection to each channel. Loudspeak-
ers can be easily connected using banana plugs, spade lugs,
bare wires or Speakon connector. Spade lugs and bare wires
should both be screwed down tightly to avoid a short circuit. The
Speakon connector for channel 1 includes channel 1, channel 2
6
and bridged mono pin connecting points. A pin out information
could be foundbeside the Speakon connector.
13. INPUT CONNECTORS
The power amplifier offers XLR and TRS input connectors for your
connecting convenience. On the XP5000 and 5100, users will also
find barrier strip inputs. Barrier strip inputs should be screwed
down tight as to not let oxygen enter the connection. These are
best used in long term or permanent installations.
14. GROUNDING - FlOATING SWITCH
This switch allows the circuit and chassis grounding to be sepa-
rated in case of a grounding conflict. In normal use, the switch
should be in the grounding on position. Lifting the grounding
(to what is called the floating position) may resolve the ground
conflict, but it means that circuit grounding depends on other con-
nected equipment. Deficiencies in other components' grounding
will affect the sound quality and cause a grounding loop hum.
For the best combination of safety and performance, it is highly
recommended to set the switch at the "grounding on" position.
15. lIMITER ON/OFF
This switch allows you to route the peak limiter circuit to the input
signal. This function will reduce distortion and protect speakers.
This switch is not included on the XP5000 or XP5100.
16. HPF
This switch can activate a 30Hz or 50Hz high pass filter, which
will roll off signals below either 30 Hz or 50 Hz. This improves sub
bass performance by limiting sub bass cone motion. It will make
more power available for the speakers' rated frequency range. This
switch is not included on the XP5000 or XP5100.
