7. Interupting Line Input
This is the secondary input, use MAIN IN for your main input.
INTERRUPTING INPUT can be used if a second source is desired and
takes over when signal is present and has at least a 5mV level.
When there is no signal, or a signal with less than 5mV level, the amp
switches back to MAIN IN after a brief delay.

MAIN IN should be used as the “primary” or main input for the amplifier.
Connect your receiver or main source to this input. Use MAIN OUT to pass
MAIN IN signal to another amplifier.
NOTE:The XMP500DSP supplies 700W in bridged mode, Please verify that your
speakers are capable of handling such power to avoid possible damage!
For stereo output connect the speaker’s positive (red) terminal to the amplifier’s
positive (red) terminal, and the speaker’s negative (black) terminal to the
amplifier’s negative (black) terminal for each Right and Left speaker.
Place the “DSP” display menu in “BRIDGED” MODE and use both red
terminals to connect to the speaker. Connect the speaker’s positive (red)
terminal to the amplifier’s red (+) terminal noted next to the bridging mark, and
the speaker’s negative (black) terminal to the amplifier’s unmarked positive
NOTE: Only one zone (A or B) can be bridged. Do not attempt to bridge both
A and B speaker terminals! This may result in a lower impedance than the
amplifier
is designed for and may damage your amplifier. The minimum
impedance for the total load connected in bridged mode is 8 ohms.
BRIDGED MODE- MONO APPLICATION
For bridged mode, playing Right and Left together as mono output, plug
RCA cables in to Right and Left RCA at MAIN input.
Set the MODE switch to BRIDGED and follow the instructions
for bridged speaker connection in the SPEAKER TERMINALS section of
this manual.

(red) terminal.
To wire the output connector: 1. Strip the insulation off each speaker wire to
expose 3/8" (10 mm) of bare conductor. 2. Unscrew the output terminal binding
post several twists, insert each wire into the correct terminal. 3. Tighten binding
post by twisting clock-wise until it is firmly clamping the speaker wire.
Warning: While the amplifier does self-protect under most improper output
conditions, misconfiguration of loudspeaker mode and incorrect connection of
loudspeakers could damage connected loudspeakers and/or amplifier.
Please refer installation to a qualified installation professional, and always
check state and local electrical codes when installing.
