① POWER switch and indicator

Press this to turn the power on or off. The POWER/STANDBY indicator lights up in green when the power is ON. If the amplifier has been set to STANDBY mode, the indicator is lit in orange.

② TEMP indicator

Lights up red if the heat sink temperature exceeds 85^ (185^) .

③ PROTECTION indicator

When the protection system is active, the PROTECT indicator light up in red and the speakers are automatically disconnected from the amplifier's outputs. The protection system activates in the following situations:

When the amplifier is turned on

The protection system activates for approximately three seconds when the amplifier is turned on. After three seconds, the protection system deactivates automatically and the amplifier is ready for normal operation.

If a DC voltage is detected at the amplifier's outputs

XP7000/5000: Power shut down and the indicator is not lit.

XP3500/2500/1000: The protection system is active. Once the DC voltage problem is corrected, the protection system deactivates automatically and the amplifier is ready for normal operation.

If the amplifier overheats

When overheating occurs, the PROTECT/MUTE indicator lights. You should immediately turn off the amplifier and allow it time to cool down. See the Precautions section of this Owner's Manual for ways to prevent the amplifier from overheating.

④ CLIP indicator

Lights up red when the output signal distortion on the corresponding channel rises above 1% — indicating that “clipping” has occurred because the signal level is too high.

⑤ SIGNAL indicator

Lights up green when the corresponding channel's output level exceeds 2 Vrms (equivalent to 1/2W into an 8Ω load, or 1 W into a 4 load).

Volume control knobs

Each control knob adjusts the volume of the corresponding channel, in 31 steps from - dB to 0dB

• If you wish to lock in the knob settings, you can fasten the supplied security cover over the knobs so that the settings will not be disturbed.

- How to install the security cover

(1) Use the supplied hex wrench to remove the four attachment screws from the amplifier.
(2) Adjust the security cover to the position of screw holes. Fasten it into place using the same screws.

⑦ Air intakes

The amplifier uses forced-air cooling. The cooling fans draw air in from the front and exhaust it through the rear. Please be sure that you do not block the air intakes or exhaust vents.

• The fans do not come on at initial power-on, but will switch on automatically when the temperature of the heat sink rises above 50^ (122°F). The fan speed will then vary automatically as the temperature changes.

Rear Panel

① XLR inputs connectors

These balanced XLR-3-31 type connectors are used to connect input signals.

The pins are wired as shown below (IEC 60268).

• In bridged mode, only the first channel in the pair is active; i.e., channel A of pair A/B. Make sure not to input an audio signal to an inactive input terminal.

② Euroblock connectors

These balanced Euroblock connectors are used to connect input signals.

③ HPF switches

These switches are used to turn on and off the HPF (High Pass Filter) for each channel. When this is set to 20Hz or 55Hz , frequencies below the respective settings are filtered using a 12 dB/octave high pass filter.

④ GAIN switch

This switch is used when changing the Gain of the A and B channels simultaneously.

• +4dBu: The maximum output power can be obtained when +4dBu is input.
  26dB: Setting of 26dB
• 32dB: Setting of 32dB

⑤ MODE switch

- STEREO mode

In STEREO mode, channels A and B are completely independent.

PARALLEL mode

In PARALLEL mode, the channel A input signal is sent both to the channel A power amp and the channel B power amp. In this case, loads are automatically connected between the A and B input terminals.

BRIDGED mode

In BRIDGED mode, channels A and B operate simultaneously, functioning as a single mono amplifier.

Note: When in PARALLEL and BRIDGED modes, input terminals A and B are shorted automatically. Make sure not to input an audio signal to an inactive input terminal.

⑥ MONITOR/REMOTE terminals

This terminal is used to connect the external device for monitoring or remote control. Refer to "MONITOR/REMOTE PIN layout" on page 15.

⑦ SPEAKERS terminals

Note: In this case, the loads for A and B are connected directly in the amplifier. Make sure not to input any signal to the B terminal.

- 5-way binding post

- Speakon connector

■ Bridged Mode (use as high-power mono amplifier)

Set the Mode switch to BRIDGE to use the unit as a high-power mono amplifier. The volume control A on the front panel A lets you control the volume.

Note: In this case, the loads for A and B are directly connected in the amplifier. Make sure not to input any signal to the B terminal.

5-way binding post

- Speakon connector

The XP7000 enables you to connect in stereo or parallel fashion multiple high-impedance speakers that support 70V line output.

The number of speakers that can be connected varies depending on the speaker's rated input. You can connect speakers with a total rated input per channel of up to 625 W.

For example, if you are using speakers with a rated input of 10W and 15W , you can connect up to 31 speakers at 10W (for 310W ), and 21 speakers at 15W (for 315W ). The total is 625W per channel.

CAUTION

Be sure to use speakers that support the XP7000's line-out voltage of 70 V.

The XP3500 enables you to connect in bridge fashion multiple high-impedance speakers that support 100V line output. You can connect speakers with a total rated input of up to 625 W.

CAUTION

Be sure to use speakers that support the XP3500's line-out voltage of 100 V.

Total rated input of speakers: 625 W (maximum)

Using a Euroblock connector

If cables will be frequently connected and disconnected, as in the case of a portable installation, we recommend that you use ferrules with insulation sleeves. Use a ferrule whose conductor portion has an external diameter of 1.6mm or less, and a length of approximately 7 mm (such as the Al0,5-6WH made by the Phoenix Contact corporation).

1 If the wire insertion ports are closed, turn the screws on top of the connector counterclockwise to open the ports.
2 Insert the wires into the appropriate ports, following the indication of the pole on the input terminal, turn the screws on top of the connector clockwise to fix the wires.
