FRONT & REAR CONNECTIONS 5 4 1 3 2 FRONT PANEL 6 reduce the output level of the preceding component to avoid audible distortion. 1. POWER SWITCH To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the upper or lower portion of this button. Before turning on the amplifier, check all connections and turn down the level controls. A momentary muting is normal when turning the amplifier on or off.
FRONT & REAR CONNECTIONS internally connected, so that you only need to feed a signal into one of the channels. This still allows independent control of each channel. (Note: Do not select this “Parallel” mode when feeding the amplifier 2 separate signals.) (Note: Do not use both unbalanced and balanced cables in the same set-up as that can unbalance the connections resulting in hum.
CONNECTIONS The following instructions describe the most common ways to install your amplifier into a sound system. 1. Turn off the amplifier power switch before making any connections. 2. The XA Series amplifiers maybe operated in one of three modes (stereo, bridged-mono, and parallel mono). Refer to the following wiring diagrams for the speaker connections you wish to make.
CONNECTIONS • Parallel (Mono) Mode To put the amplifier in parallel-mono mode, first turn the amplifier off, then slide the MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (13) to the middle “PARALLEL (MONO)” position and properly connect the input wiring as shown. A signal into any input jack will drive both channels directly. You can patch the input signal on to any other amps using any of the remaining input jacks. (Note: Do not connect a speaker load less than 2 ohms as it can damage your amplifier.
