About this Guide
This guide describes the XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB Half Rack Four-Channel/TwoChannel audio power amplifiers and discusses how to install, configure, and operate them.
In this guide, the terms “unit”, “amplifier”, and “power amplifier” refer to the
XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB.
About the XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB
The Extron XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB are ENERGY STAR qualified four- and
two-channel audio power amplifiers with flexible channel pairs that can drive 8 ohm, 4 ohm,
70volt, or 100 volt loads. The XPA U 1004 SB’s two individually bridgeable pairs can deliver
two 100 watt channels into low-impedance systems or one 200 watt channel into low- or
high-impedance systems. The XPA U 2002 SB’s bridgeable output pair can deliver two
200 watt channels into low-impedance systems or one 400 watt channel into low- or highimpedance systems.
Output mode selection is made via a rear panel rotary switch for quick and easy setup.
The convection-cooled, plenum-rated enclosures of the XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002
SB don’t require empty rack spaces for ventilation and include rack mount hardware. They
feature a highly efficient advanced Class D amplifier design with defeatable auto standby,
fast wake up from standby, and patented Extron CDRS (Class D Ripple Suppression)
technology. Remote volume and mute control is possible per channel pair from Extron VCM,

• ENERGY STAR
®
qualified amplifiers — The XPA U 1004 SB and the XPA U 2002 SB
are ENERGY STAR qualified and energy efficient amplifiers, conserving energy and reducing
costs.
• Extron Patented CDRS (Class D Ripple Suppression) Technology — CDRS is an
Extron pantented technology providing a smooth and clean audio waveform, and improving
signal fidelity over Class D amplifier designs.
• CDRS eliminates the high frequency switching ripple characteristics of Class D
amplifiers, a source of RF emissions which can interfere with sensitive AV equipment
like wireless mircophones.
• Convection cooled and fanless operation ‑ can be stacked without extra rack space for
• ventilation — The XPA U 1004 SB and the XPA U 2002 SB do not have internal fans or
vents for cooling, ensuring quiet reliable operation. The units generate substantially less
heat than conventional power amplifiers, making the XPA Ultra Series ideal for rack-mount
applications where space is limited.
• See Rack Mounting Ventilation Recommendations on page7.
• Defeatable auto-standby with fast wake up — The amplifiers meet ENERGY STAR
qualification requirements with an auto-standby feature that automatically places the
units into standby after 25 minutes of in activity; thereby dramatically reducing power
consumption. The XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB quickly return to full power in less
100 ms upon signal detection, with minimal inrush current. Auto-standby can be disabled if
required.
• UL 2043 Plenum rated when used with the optional Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit/
AV equipment — The XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB amplifiers meet UL 2043
when installed with the Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit, part # 70-228-02. The amplifiers must
meet this requirement for heat and smoke release for installation within a plenum airspace.
Above-the-ceiling placement conceals the amplifier to prevent theft, and it is convenient for
installing when space inside the room is limited.
• Remote volume and mute control per channel pair — With Extron VCM, VC, and
select MediaLink controllers.
• All rated watts are usable with all channels driven — With a XPA Ultra, designs can
utilize 100% of the rated power.
• Professional grade signal-to-noise and THD+N performance — The XPA U 1004 SB
and the XPA U 2002 SB both deliver professional grade performance, featuring 100 dB
signal-to-noise ratio and THD+N of less than 0.1%.
XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB • Introduction2
• Ultra low inrush current at power up - no need for power sequencing — Allows
multiple XPA Ultra amplifier to be powered on simultaneously without overloading power
circuits. This eliminates the need for power sequencing.
• Power factor correction - removes harmonic content on AC line — The XPA U
1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB features power factor correction technology that smooths
out the high peak currents of the amplifier’s current draw, minimizing the presence of
high frequency harmonics on the AC power line, preventing audible artifacts from being
transmitted to other audio equipment in the system.
• Rear panel recessed, detented level controls — Provides attenuation of input signal
for adjusting audio system gain staging. These controls are lcoated on the rear panel to
prevent tampering with the level adjustments. Laser etched markings provide enhanced
visibility of settings for ease of configuration.
• Remote standby port — Enables the XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB to be
remotely powered down when not in use, reducing operating cost.
• Automatic clip limiter — Detects actual onset of clipping. Gain is automatically
reduced without audible artifacts to prevent clipping distortion.
• Multiple protection circuits — Activate during output shorts, thermal overload, or DC
faults to prevent damage to the amplifier and speakers.
• Front and rear-mounted signal and protection indication LEDs — Provide
convenient indication of input signal presence and protection circuit activation from both
sides of an equipment rack.
• Front panel over-temperature LED — Provides visual indication that the amplifier’s
temperature has exceeded the optimal value, well in advance of the onset of thermal
protection circuitry.

are installed the same way.
Tabletop Use
Four self-adhesive rubber are included. Attach one foot at each corner on the bottom side
of the amplifier and place the unit in a desired location.
UL Rack Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the
equipment in a rack.
• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +32° F to
+122° F (0° C to +50° C)/ 10% to 90%, noncondensing) specified by Extron.
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — When mounting the equipment in the rack, ensure uneven
mechanical loading does not cause a hazardous condition.
• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider
the effect circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Channel Status LEDs — The 1004 SB has four double-stacked LEDs, while the 2002
B
SB has two double-stacked LEDs.
The top red LEDs indicate limiter/protect status, and the bottom green LEDs indicate
signal status. These LEDs share the same function as the front panel LEDs.
Attenuators — Use a small screwdriver to adjust the gain structure for a corresponding
C
channel. Each channel has its own potentiometer, ranging from ∞ (full attenuation) to 0
dB (no attenuation)
To adjust the attenuation level on the amplifier, perform the following:
When volume is controlled at the source:
1. If connecting to a source device with volume control (variable output), ensure the
volume on the source device is set to its lowest point, then adjust the attenuation of
the amplifier fully counterclockwise.
XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB • Operation13
2. Set the source device volume to the maximum level. No sound should come out.
Stereo 8Ω or 4Ω Output Modes
Bridged Mono 8Ω/16Ω/70V/100V Modes
or 100V Speaker Loads
3. Raise the attenuation on the XPA Ultra Series amplifier until sound distortion occurs,
then lower the attenuation level slowly until distortion disappears. This setting
ensures no clipping occurs, whatever the source device volume setting is.
NOTE: When setting volume control through a source device, make sure the
device’s volume is set to variable out. Consult the device’s user manual for
detailed instructions on its calibration.
When volume is controlled at the amplifier:
1. If volume will be controlled at the amplifier using a remote volume control
(see section G for details), ensure the volume on the source device is set to its
lowest point, then adjust the attenuation of the amplifier fully counterclockwise.
2. Set the source device’s volume to its maximum level.
3. Set the remote volume control to its maximum level. No sound should come out.
4. Raise the attenuation on the XPA Ultra Series amplifier until sound distortion occurs,
then lower the attenuation level slowly until distortion disappears. This setting
ensures no clipping occurs, whatever the source device volume setting is.
NOTE: When volume will be controlled at the amplifier using a remote volume
control, make sure the source device’s audio output is set to fixed out (local
volume control is disabled). Consult the device’s user manual for detailed
instructions on its calibration.

channels 3 and 4. There are eight settings that are divided
into stereo and bridged mono:
• Stereo Mode (4 ohm/8 ohm) — Each channel of a output pair behaves
independently, and each input is routed to its respective output. A channel’s level is
set by its dedicated attenuator.
• Bridged Mono Modes — There are six bridged mono modes: two low-impedance
(8 ohm and 16 ohm bridged) and four high-impedance (70V, 70V with no HPF,
100V, and 100V with no HPF)
In all six mono modes, the outputs of a pair are bridged, and the lowest-numbered
channel is fed to the pair’s positive pins. The bridged output’s positive pin is now
the lowest-numbered channel’s pin. And the higher-numbered output’s positive pin
becomes the bridged output’s negative pin.
The level is set by using the attenuator on the lowest-numbered channel. The
higher-numbered channel’s input and attenuator are not used in bridged mono
mode.
In either 70V or 100V modes, an 80 Hz, 12 dB/octave high-pass filter is applied
to the signal. This can be disabled by selecting (HPF OFF) for either 70V or 100V
mode. On 8 ohm and 16 ohm bridged modes, the filter is disabled.

& 2
NOTE: In 70V/100V output modes, HPF should be disabled at the amplifier
only if a high-pass filter will be applied upstream of the amplifier.
Line Input — (see figure 14 on page14) Wire the amplifier input connectors based
E
on the output. See Figure 16 for details on how to wire the input connectors.
NOTE: In bridged mono output modes, even-numbered channels are not used in
the connector.
Speaker Output Connectors — (see figure 14 on page14)
F
Connect up to two 4-pin, 5mm captive screw connectors for up to
four channels of speaker outputs. Each port has a screw flange to
secure the plug to the connector. Observe the correct polarities for
each channel as shown to the right.
XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB • Operation15
WARNING:
Resistor
AVERTISSEMENT :
• Do not tie channel output pins to each other or to ground. Doing so will short
out the outputs, damage the amplifier, or both.
• Ne pas lier les sorties 1 et 2 des canaux entre elles ou à la terre. Les sorties
pourraient être court-circuitées et/ou l’amplificateur pourrait être endommagé.
• To avoid risk of damage to the amplifier or the speakers, always connect low
impedance speaker loads (8Ω/4Ω) and high-impedance speaker loads (70V)
to the appropriately marked output connectors on the amplifier.
• Pour éviter tout risque de détérioration de l’amplificateur ou des enceintes,
connectez toujours les charges de l’enceinte faible impédance (8 Ω/ 4 Ω) et
les charges de l’enceinte haute impédance (70 V) aux connecteurs de sortie
correctement identifiés sur l’amplificateur.
NOTE: You must use Class 2 wiring for this output to comply with UL requirements.
To wire the stereo audio output, do the
following steps:
1. Strip and insert the speaker wires into the
connector and tighten the captive screws.
Make sure to observe correct polarity.
Do not tin the wires!
2. Insert the wired connector into the amplifier output,
and secure the plug by tightening the screws on
either side..
G Remote Ports — (see figure 14 on page14) On the XPA U 1004 SB, connect a
3-pole, 3.5mm captive screw connector for remote volume control on channels three
and four. On both amplifiers, there is a 5-pole captive screw port. The bottom port use
a 3-pin captive screw plug for volume control of channels 1 and 2 on the V, C, and G
pins, and a 2-pin captive screw for standby on the STANDBY and G pins.
Remote Volume Control Port
Pins V, C, and G (1, 2, and 3) control
volume by varying the DC voltage from
0 V (full attenuation) to 10 V (maximum
volume) with full muting in effect when
pin C is connected to ground (pin G).
