Figure 2.5 Wiring XLC Amplifiers to the CXM2000 in Passive Cinema Speakers System
2.5 Alternative: Choosing Phoenix Connectors as Input Connectors
Besides connecting the XLC amplifiers to the CXM2000 through HD-15 connector, you can also connect to other input
devices through the phoenix connectors on its rear panel. Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired
balanced line (two-conductor plus shield), 22-24 gauge cables and connectors (see Figure 2.7). Unbalanced lines may be
used, but may result in hum or RF noise over long cable runs.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and
spade lug connectors or bare wire for your output connectors (Figure 2.8). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap
or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.
Non-Touch cover provides protection of electric shock from the output terminals. Remove it to connect the cables to the
output terminals and reinstall it when finish. To reinstall it, insert tab A into the slot right beside the output terminals (see
figure 2.9). Put the screw through tab B and screw it into the hole left beside the output terminals (see figure 2.9).
Below are the suggested guidelines to select the appropriate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker.
Distance WireSize
up to 25 ft. 16 AWG
26-40 ft.14 AWG
41-60 ft.12 AWG
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output wiring.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel. Class 2 output wiring is required.
Typical input and output stereo wiring is shown in figure 2.10. If you need to know which frequence (high, middle or low)
that the Channel 1 or Channel 2 corresponds to, please refer to the appendix in the operation manual of CXM2000.
1. Set the Mode Switch to Stereo (1-OFF, 2-OFF).
2. Connect Channel 1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Channel 1 positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for negative
(-). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.
2.7.2 Parallel Mode
Typical input and output bridge wiring is shown in figure 2.11.
1. Set the Mode Switch to Parallel (1-ON, 2-OFF).
2. Connect Channel 1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Channel 1 positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for negative
(-). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.
Typical input and output bridge wiring is shown in figure 2.12. The input of Channel 1 will be used.
1. Set the Mode Switch to Bridge (1-OFF, 2-ON).
2. Connect Channel 1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Bridge positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for Channel 1’s
negative (-).
2.8 Connecting to AC Mains
Connect your amplifier to the AC mains power source (power outlet) with the supplied AC power cord. First, connect the
IEC end of the cord to the IEC connector on the amplifier; then, plug the other end of the cord to the AC mains.
WARNING: The third prong of this connector (ground) is an important safety feature. Do not attempt to disable
this ground connection by using other methods.
Amplifiers don’t create energy. The AC mains voltage and current must be sufficient to deliver the power you expect. You
must operate your amplifier from an AC mains power source with not more than a 10% variation above or below the
amplifier’s specified line voltage and within the specified frequency requirements (The specific voltage and frequency
requirement is compatible to retailer’s location and dictated on the amplifier’s back panel label). If you are unsure of the
output voltage of your AC mains, please consult your electrician.
2.9 Protecting Your Speakers
It’s wise to avoid clipping the amplifier signal. Not only does clipping sound bad, it can damage high-frequency drivers of
speakers.
Please take the following precautions for optimum performance and safety:
1. Before use, your amplifier first must be configured for proper operation, including input and out put wiring hookup.
Improper wiring can result in serious operating difficulties and malfunction. For information on wiring and
configuration, please consult the Setup section of this manual or, for advanced setup techniques, consult Crown’s
Amplifier Application Guide available online at www.crownaudio.com.
2. Use care when making connections, selecting signal sources and controlling the output level. The load you save
may be your own!
3. Do not short the ground lead of an output cable to the input signal ground. This may form a ground loop and cause
oscillations.
4. Tampering with the circuitry, or making unauthorized circuit changes may be hazardous and invalidates all agency
listings.
5. Do not operate the amplifier with the yellow Clip LEDs is on.
6. Do not operate the amplifier with less than the rated load impedance. Due to the amplifier’s output protection, such a
configuration may result in pre mature clipping and speaker damage.
WARNING: Never connect the output to a power supply, battery or power main. Electrical shock
may result.
Remember: Crown is not liable for damage that results from overdriving other system
components.
3.2 Startup Procedure
Use the following procedure when first turning on your amplifier:
1. Turn down the level of your audio source.
2. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier.
3. Turn on the “Power” switch. The Power indicator should glow.
4. Turn up the volume of your audio source to an optimum level.
5. Turn up the volume controls on the amplifier until the desired loudness or power level is achieved. In Bridge mode,
only the Channel 1 volume control is functional.
6. Turn down the volume of your audio source to its normal range.
If you ever need to make any wiring or installation changes, don’t forget to disconnect the power cord. For help with
determining your system’s optimum gain structure (signal levels) please refer to the Crown Amplifier Application Guide,
available online at www.crownaudio.com

4.1 System Protection
Your Crown amplifier provides extensive protection and diagnostic capabilities, including output current limiting, AC
under voltage protection, thermal protection and circuit breaker for the unit’s transformers and output devices.
4.1.1 Output Current Limiting
Output Current Limiting circuitry protects the amplifier output stage from damage caused by short-circuit loads.
4.1.2 Fault
The amplifier will illuminate to alert the user when it is fault. Check all wiring to and from the amplifier and verify if the
amplifier is overheat. Once the fault condition persists, see “7. Service” on page 22 for Servicing information.
4.1.3 AC Under Voltage Protection
If the AC line voltage drops below 15% of the nominal operating voltage of the amplifier, the amplifier’s power supply turns
off and the blue Power LED turns off. The amplifier will turn back on when the AC line voltage returns to safe operating
levels (±10%).
The Thermal Protection circuit will activate if the internal heatsink temperature exceeds proper operating temperatures
(194° F, 90° C). When the heatsink temperature has fallen to a safe level, this protection circuit will automatically be reset
and compress signals. The Fault indicator illuminate at the same time.
The cause of your amplifier’s thermal protection state should be determined and corrected as soon as possible. Without
correction, the Thermal Protection circuit will typically reactivate.
4.1.5 Circuit Breaker (Reset Button)
A circuit breaker located near the IEC power inlet protects the amplifier from excessive AC current draw.
4.1.6 Output Connector Security Cover
The installed output connector security cover can prevent unexpected access to the output connector which might cause
serious personnel injury. See “2.6 Choosing Output Wiring and Connectors” on page 9.
