Crossover Modes of Operation

The $(($x is equipped with a two+way electronic crossover, The Lowpass function of
the crossover is dedicated to the amplifier (x$(($) and the High pass function of the
crossover is available at the on+board RCA line outputs,

The jumper labeled

Lowwpass SSlopee SSeeleect

allows either $! or !" dB per octaves

slopes to be selected for the Lowpass function of the x$(($,

The

Liinee Out MModdee SSeeleect

jumper controls the function of the on+board RCA

line outputs and offers two (!) modes of operation: Bypass and high pass,

The

Hiigh pass SSlopee SSeeleect

jumper provides independent $! or !" dB per octave

slope selection for the High pass function available at the RCA Line Outputs,

The High and Low Pass frequencies are determined by the Frequency Modules
(SIPs) installed in the three (') SIP sockets pictured on the insert, One SIP
determines the Lowpass frequency* while two (!) SIPs determine the High pass
frequency, Each frequency setting is independent and may be changed to suit
your needs,

Crossover Frequencies & SIP’s

The frequency (SIP) “ID Code” printed on the SIP and the associated frequency
value is detailed below, The x$(($ is shipped from the factory with &( Hz high
pass and LowPass frequency modules (SIP) installed, To change a frequency
module* simply remove the resistor SIP and replace it with the

Standard Features

Forced Convection Cooling

All Xtant “X” Series amplifiers employ forced convection cooling for thermal man+
agement, An on+board thermal sensing circuit regulates fan speed to maintain
optimum operating temperature, Please see “Dual Fan Circuit” on page # for
additional cooling options,

Fully Regulated PWM Power Supply

All Xtant “X” Series amplifiers feature a fully regulated* Pulse Width Modulated
power supply, This supply technology provides high efficiency and consistent out+
put performance even when battery voltage is less than optimum,

Crossover

A $!/!" dB per octave “Butterworth” filter network is standard on the x$(($
amplifier, Both Low Pass and High Pass frequency selection is via a $! pin
Frequency Module (SIP), The amplifier is shipped with &( Hz SIPs installed* $!
other frequencies are available from your Xtant Dealer, The crossover’s Low
Pass function is dedicated to the x$(($ while the High Pass or Bypass functions
are available at the RCA line outputs,

Balanced / Floating Input

When enabled* this circuitry helps to eliminate “system noise” associated with
“ground loops”, When combined with the input sensitivity adjustment* it allows
the x$(($ to accept up to $#V of input signal,

Modular Expansion Port

All X series amplifiers are supplied with a modular port(s) used for docking any
of Xtant’s signal processing modules,

Protection Circuitry

Both Thermal* Overcurrent and Low Voltage protection are incorporated into
the x$(($, In the event of a problem* the amplifier will reduce its power to main+
tain operation, In the case of Low Voltage* the amplifier will shut off when the
battery voltage falls to $$ Volts or less,

Status LEDs

Three LEDs* visible through the cover* indicate operational status of the X$(($
amplifier, The red LED illuminates when the amplifier is “ON”* the yellow LED
indicates that overcurrent protection is employed and the orange LED indicates
that the thermal protection circuit is operational,

Dual Fan Circuit

The x$(($ is equipped with a dual fan circuit for efficient thermal management,
The amplifier has the fan jumper in the “high” position as a factory setting, To
reduce the speed of the fan* place the jumper in the “low” position, If you wish
to run the fan at a constant maximum speed* apply a $!vdc to the terminal
labeled “fan high”, This option is generally used in cases where the amplifier is
being used in a high stress situation such as at SPL competitions,

Cautiion:

Have your dealer check the fan for obstructions if your amplifier over
heats, When the Thermal Protection Circuit is engaged* the orange LED will be
