INTRODUCTION English The Clarion XN3210 is a full-featured, two-channel amplifier incorporating the following features: • Specially coated circuit boards that resists mold, mildew and moisture damage. • Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) MOSFET power supply for maximum performance with minimal distortion. • Remote turn-on with "soft start" muting to prevent turn-on "thump". • Variable high-pass/low-pass electronic crossover with a 12dB per octave slope (adjustable range: 55Hz to 5.5kHz).
DESCRIPTION English Owner’s Manual The XN3210 and XN3410 use an unregulated MOSFET power supply for superior sound and output wattage. In addition, a toroid-coil is used to transfer power with minimal performance loss due to heat. To avoid unwanted noise, a doublesided conformal printed circuit board with strategically placed components keeps AM RFI subdued. All of the connections and controls for the XN3210 and XN3410 are conveniently located at the ends of the amplifier and labeled appropriately.

INSTALLATION This section suggests Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion XN3210 and/or XN3410 amplifier(s). If you do not posses the necessary tools and installation experience, do not attempt to install these amplifiers. Instead, contact your local Clarion Marine Audio dealer to perform the installation. English MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS Owner’s Manual Prior to mounting the amplifier, make sure it is safe to mount the amplifier in that location.
English 7. When creating passage holes for power cables, RCA's cables, and speaker wires, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire from being nicked and causing a short circuit. 8. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an "antenna" for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary. 9. In multiple amplifier systems, it is recommended to use a relay on the remote turn-on lead of the radio.

SETTING THE GAIN After completing the installation, follow these steps to set the Gain Control and then perform the Final System Check. 1. Turn the Gain Control all the way counter-clockwise. English 2. Turn the ON/OFF Switch on the source units to the ON position. Set all Tone or Equalization Controls to "flat" positions and turn Loudness off. Owner’s Manual 3. Play a CD, set the Volume Control at 75% of full level. NOTE: If the system uses an equalizer, set its frequency controls to "flat" positions.
FINAL SYSTEM CHECK English 1. Turn on the source unit. After a two-second delay, slowly increase the Volume Control and listen to the audio. If you hear any noise, static, distortion or no sound at all, check the connections and refer to the Troubleshooting section. Depending on your system design, the levels may become quite loud even at low Volume Control settings. Until you get an "audio feel" of the system's power, use care when adjusting controls. Owner’s Manual 2.
Problem Distorted audio. Solution Gain is not set properly, or damaged speaker cones. Review Setting Gain; inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage (i.e. frozen cone, burning smell, etc.) English Problem Audio lacks punch. Owner’s Manual Solution Speakers wired incorrectly, which causes cancellation of bass frequencies. Check polarity of wires from amplifier to each speaker as defined by the system design. Problem Amplifier fuse keeps blowing. Solution Incorrect wiring or short circuit.
