Installation

MOUNTING

The power amplifier can be installed in a standard 19-

inch equipment rack. It requires 3 units (5.25 inches) for the XP 2000/2100, XP 3000/3100, and 2 units (3.5

inches) for the XP600/1000 of vertical rack space and secures to the rack cabinet with four rack mount screws and cup washers. In a rack, it is best to mount

units one above the other, with at least a unit of space at least betweentwoamplifiers.Thisprovidesefficientairflowandsupport.

COOLING

Two variable-speed fans would start running as soon as the power is being turned on. Before mounting your amplifier, you should familiarizeyourselfwithitscoolingrequirements.Theairflowsfrom the front to the back, so it is important not to block the amplifier front air vents. If the amplifier is rack-mounted, leave some space in front of the rack to prevent heated air being drawn back into the front-to-back airflow. Airflow restrictions are the most common cause of inadequate cooling. They may result from improper mounting,bundles of powercords,clogged dust filters andclosed rack doors. Mount the amplifier to allow sufficient airflow out the front outlets to ensure your amplifier work properly.

WIRING

The balanced XLR and TRS input connectors will accept the line-level output of most devices for ultimate input convenience.

The amplifier built-in XLR andTRS connectors can be wired similarly for balanced or unbalanced, floating or ground-referenced sources. The output connector is a binding post with Speakon which provides an easy connection when using banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wires.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

1. CLIP/LIM LED (RED)

When the audio signal drives the amplifier output circuit beyond its power capability, it will clip. The peak limiter detects this and quickly reduces the gain to minimize the amount of overdrive, so as to preserve as much of the program dynamics as possible.

2. PROTECT LED (YELLOW)

The power amplifier features several types of protection to prevent damage to the circuitry during turn-on or fault conditions. The power-on protection relay prevents damaging thumps to the speakersasthepowercomeson.Whentheamplifierisswitched on, the protect LED will light for a few seconds, and then go out, indicating that the relay has closed, connecting the speakers to the amplifier.

The protect LED will also come on if the speaker terminals are short circuited, or the impedance of the load between them is too low. Under these circumstances, the protect LED will stay on until the fault condition is rectified.

If the amplifier’ s large heat sinks go down for thermal reasons, leavethepowerconnectedtotheamplifier,trytoimproveventilation, and reduce the gain. Without power, the fan cannot operate, and the amplifier will require longer to reach a low enough temperature to restart.

3. SIGNAL LED (GREEN)

Eachchannelofthepoweramplifierfeaturesasignallighttoshow that how much of an audio signal has been put in to the channel. The threshold for the indicator is -40dB, above that, noise will trigger the LED to light.

4. GAIN CONTROL

These two knobs are the level controls for each channel of the amplifier. The gain increases as the knob is turned clockwise.

This unit features detented gain controls.

5. POWER SWITCH

Although the XP series amplifiers feature power-on muting, it is always a good practice to reduce both the gain controls before turningon the amplifier. The powering-up procedure for an audio system should start from instruments and then mixer, and you should verify that all system operations are normal before turning on the amplifier.

6. SUBWOOFER SWITCH (XP2100/3100/5100 ONLY)

NORMAL/60/90/120Hz

Switching from normal to either 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz setting will add the dedicated low pass filter to the output path, which offers you a sub bass output to achieve a 3-way or more ways speaker system. When you activate this function, you will get the subwoofer frequency output below 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz only. On the XP5100 this switch is located on the rear of the amplifier.

7. DISPLAY

When the power is on, the PHONIC logo at the top of the front panel will light up in green.

When the amplifier is switched to the bridge mono mode, the bridge LED right next to the PHONIC logo will light up in red.

When the amplifier is switched to the parallel mode, the parallel

LED next to the bridge LED will light up in yellow.

REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

8. FAN

These two variable speed fans automatically maintain safe internal temperature. Keep the front and rear vents clear to allow full airflow. Hot air will be drawn out the back of the amplifier, so it does not stay in the rack, and make sure plenty of cool air can enter the rack.

9. RESET BREAKER

With rated loads and output levels, the breaker should only shut down the amplifier in rare instances of catastrophic failure. The circuit breaker can also shut down the amplifier in cases where extremely low-impedance loads and high output levels result in a current draw that exceeds its rating.This feature is not included on the XP600.

10. POWER CORD

All units are shipped with an appropriate plug and cord for the required AC voltage. This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature and should not be

defeated. Check the AC voltage before connecting the plug.

11.CHASSIS GROUNDING CONNECTING POINT

Please refer to your local safety code for proper grounding.

12.OUTPUT CONNECTORS

A pair of versatile binding posts and Speakon connectors are provided for output connection to each channel. Loudspeakers can be easily connected using banana plugs, spade lugs, bare wires or Speakon connector. Spade lugs and bare wires should both be screwed down tightly to avoid a short circuit. The Speakon connector for channel 1 includes channel 1, channel 2

and bridged mono pin connecting points. A pin out information could be foundbeside the Speakon connector.

13. INPUT CONNECTORS

ThepoweramplifieroffersXLRandTRSinputconnectorsforyour connecting convenience. On the XP5000 and 5100, users will also find barrier strip inputs. Barrier strip inputs should be screwed down tight as to not let oxygen enter the connection. These are best used in long term or permanent installations.

14. GROUNDING - FLOATING SWITCH

This switch allows the circuit and chassis grounding to be separated in case of a grounding conflict. In normal use, the switch should be in the grounding on position. Lifting the grounding

(to what is called the floating position) may resolve the ground conflict,butitmeansthatcircuitgroundingdependsonotherconnected equipment. Deficiencies in other components’ grounding will affect the sound quality and cause a grounding loop hum. For the best combination of safety and performance, it is highly recommended to set the switch at the “grounding on” position.

15. LIMITER ON/OFF

This switch allows you to route the peak limiter circuit to the input signal. This function will reduce distortion and protect speakers. This switch is not included on the XP5000 or XP5100.

16. HPF

This switch can activate a 30Hz or 50Hz high pass filter, which will roll off signals below either 30 Hz or 50 Hz. This improves sub bass performance by limiting sub bass cone motion. It will make more power available for the speakers’ rated frequency range. This switch is not included on the XP5000 or XP5100.

XP 600/1000/2000/2100/3000/3100/5000/5100

17. PARALLEL / STEREO / BRIDGE MONO SWITCH

Turn off the power before changing the operation mode. In stereo operation, each channel of the amplifier runs independently with its own signal and speakers. When the switch is set to the parallel mode, the input of CH2 is paralleled with that of CH1. Then, CH1 and CH2 can drive their own speakers independently, but they will have the same source, that of CH1. In bridge mono operation, both channels can be configured to drive a single load with a single signal at twice the power. Use the following procedure to ensure the systems safety when switching from one mode to another:

1.Turn off the power of the amplifier

2.Put one speaker, of not less than 4 ohms impedance, across the red (+) output terminals of the amplifier.

3.Ensure that there is only one input signal connected to CH1.

4.Switch the amplifier to bridge mono.

5.Turn the gain controls of CH1 and CH2 to the extreme left and then turn on the amplifier.

6.Verify operation at low gain, and then turn up the CH1 gain to increase power to a desired level.

This switch is not included on the XP5000 or XP5100.
