• Output Power
• XPA U 358 models — 35 watts rms output power per channel, all channels driven.
• XPA U 1004 models — 100 watts rms output power per channel, all channels
driven.
• XPA U 1002 models — 100 watts rms output power per channel, all channels
driven.
• ENERGY STAR® qualified amplifiers — The XPA Ultra Series are ENERGY STAR
qualified amplifiers and energy efficient products that conserve energy and reduce
costs.
XPA Ultra Series Power Amplifiers • Introduction1
• Extron Patented CDRS - Class D Ripple Suppression — CDRS is an Extron
Patented technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an
improvement in signal fidelity over conventional 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 such as
wireless microphones.
• Convection cooled, fanless operation - can be stacked without extra rack
space for ventilation — The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers do not require internal fans
or vents for cooling, ensuring quiet, reliable operation. They generate substantially less
heat than conventional power amplifiers, making them ideal for rack-mount applications
where space is at a premium.
• Eight channels (XPA U 358 models), four channels (XPA U 1004 models), or two
channels (XPA U 1002 models) in a 1U, half rack width enclosure - single and
dual rack mount hardware included — The channel density of the XPA Ultra Series
amplifiers reduce rack space requirements for many installations. The included single
and side by side rack mount hardware simplifies planning and saves cost.
• Defeatable auto-standby with fast wake up — The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers
meet ENERGY STAR qualification requirements with an auto-standby feature that
automatically places the amplifier into standby after 25 minutes of inactivity, dramatically
reducing power consumption. The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers quickly return to full
power status in less than 100 ms upon signal detection, with minimal inrush current.
Auto-standby can be disabled if required.
• UL 2043 plenum rated when used with optional Flexible Conduit Adapter
Kit — The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers meet UL 2043 for smoke and heat release for
installation within a plenum airspace above a drop ceiling when used with the optional
Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit. Above-the-ceiling placement conceals the amplifier to
prevent theft, and is convenient for installing equipment when space inside the room is
limited.
• Professional grade signal-to-noise and THD+N performance — The
XPAUltraSeries amplifiers deliver professional grade performance, featuring 100 dB
signal-to-noise ratio and THD+N of less than 0.1%.
• Ultra low inrush current at power up - no need for power sequencing —
Allows multiple XPA Ultra Series amplifiers 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
XPAUltraSeries amplifiers feature power factor correction technology that smooths
out the high peak currents of the amplifiers’ 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.
signals for adjusting audio system gain staging. These controls are located on the rear
panel to prevent tampering with level adjustments. Laser etched markings provide
enhanced visibility of settings for ease of configuration.
• Automatic clip limiter — Detects actual onset of clipping. Gain is automatically
reduced without audible artifacts to protect speakers from clipping distortion.
• Multiple protection circuits — Active during output shorts, thermal overload, or DC
faults to prevent damage to the amplifier and speakers.
• Remote standby port — Enables the XPA Ultra Series amplifiers to be remotely
powered down when not in use, reducing operating cost.
XPA Ultra Series Power Amplifiers • Introduction2
• High pass filter for high impedance models — This selectable filter, available on the
XPA Ultra Series high impedance models, rolls off frequencies below 80 Hz to prevent
saturation of speaker transformers.
• 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
temperature has exceeded the optimal value, well in advance of the onset of thermal
protection circuitry.
• Internal Extron Everlast Power Supply — Provides worldwide power compatibility,
with high-demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating
cost.

Mounting the XPA Ultra Series Amplifiers
The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers can be mounted in a rack using included rack ears, set on a
table, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted in the plenum space above a ceiling-mounted
projector. Additionally, two XPA Ultra Series amplifiers can be connected using the included
bridging plate to create a full rack-width unit.
Tabletop Use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the audio amplifier.
For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner on the bottom side of the amplifier and
place the unit in the desired location.
UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the
equipment in a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to
+122°F (0 to +50 °C)].
2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
XPA Ultra Series Power Amplifiers • Installation6

Rack Mounting Ventilation Recommendations
Excessive heat can decrease the optimal lifetime of the power amplifier. An over temp
indicator LED on the front panel of the amplifier lights red whenever the recommended
operating temperature has been exceeded.
To reduce the chances of an over temp condition, the XPA Ultra amplifiers should be
arranged in a rack environment such that the environment around the amplifier does not
reach or exceed +122 °F (+50 °C). No more than four stacks of XPA Ultra amplifiers should
be arranged one-on-top-of-the-other in a rack without an open space between the stacks
(see figure8 below).
The XPA Ultra can also be arranged above or below another non-XPA Ultra device. In this
case, the environment around the amplifier should not reach or exceed +122 °F (+50 °C).

Attenuation Potentiometers — Use a small screwdriver (such as the provided Extron
D
Tweeker) to adjust the audio input level for the corresponding channel. The analog
potentiometers control the level from ∞ (full attenuation) to 0 dB.
To adjust the attenuation level of the XPA Ultra amplifier, do the following:
1. If connecting to a source device with a volume control (variable output), ensure
that the volume on the source device is set to its lowest point, then adjust the
attenuation of the XPA Ultra fully counterclockwise.
2. Set the volume of the source device to its maximum volume level. No sound should
come out.
3. Return to the XPA Ultra amplifier and raise the attenuation until a sound distortion
occurs, then lower the level slightly until any distortion disappears. This setting
ensures that, whatever the source device volume setting may be, no clipping
occurs.
NOTE: When setting volume control through a source device, ensure that the
volume of the device is set to variable out. Consult the user manual of the
device for detailed instructions on its calibration.

jumper the OFF and G pins together to disable the internal 80 Hz high-pass filter. This
function should only be used when high-pass filtering is applied to the signal before it
reaches the amplifier.
Remote Port — The 3.5 mm 2-pole captive screw port is used to remotely place the
G
amplifier into standby. Connecting the Standby pin to the Ground pin places the
amplifier in standby mode. Standby mode turns off all output, although the amplifier
is still receiving power. Use the included 3.5 mm 2-pole captive screw connector to
remotely ground the Standby pin. The power indicator LED lights amber when the
amplifier is in standby mode.
NOTE: A 10k ohm resistor is included in the box. If this resistor is connected
between the standby pin and ground, the auto-standby timer is defeated. The
standby pin can still be shorted to the ground pin to force the amplifier into
standby.

ATTENTION:
• 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:
Step 1: Strip and insert the speaker wires into the connector and tighten the captive
screws. Be sure to observe correct polarity.
Do not tin the wires!

2. Fully attenuate the potentiometers.
3. Wire the output as shown in figure20 below.
4. Wire the input as shown in figure20 below.
5. Connect the IEC power cord and power up the amplifier.
6. Adjust the input levels of channel pair identically (see in figure15, D on page16).
NOTE: During bridged mono output, the + output from the odd channel becomes
the positive terminal and the + output from the even channel becomes the negative
