Frequently Asked Questions - XP 600 PHONIC

What is the output power of the Phonic XP 600?

The XP 600 delivers 125 W per channel into 8 ohms (stereo, 20Hz-20kHz, 0.03% THD), and 200 W per channel into 4 ohms (0.05% THD). In bridge mono mode, it provides 400 W into 8 ohms (0.1% THD).

How do I switch between stereo, parallel, and bridge modes?

Use the rear panel switch labeled PARALLEL / STEREO / BRIDGE MONO. Always turn off the amplifier before changing modes. In bridge mode, connect the speaker across the red (+) terminals of both channels and use only CH1 input.

What do the front panel LEDs indicate?

The green SIGNAL LEDs light at -40 dB, -20 dB, and -10 dB input levels. The yellow PROTECT LED indicates protection activation (e.g., short circuit or thermal). The red CLIP/LIM LED lights when the output is clipping or the limiter engages. The PHONIC logo lights green when powered; adjacent LEDs indicate parallel (yellow) or bridge (red) mode.

How should I connect speakers to the XP 600?

Use the Speakon or binding post outputs per channel. For stereo, connect one speaker to CH1 outputs and another to CH2. For bridge mono, connect the speaker across the red (+) terminals of both channels. Ensure the load impedance is at least 4 ohms in stereo or 8 ohms in bridge mode.

What is the purpose of the high pass filter (HPF) switch?

The HPF switch (rear panel) activates a 30 Hz or 50 Hz high pass filter. This rolls off low frequencies below the selected point, reducing subsonic cone motion and protecting speakers, while providing more headroom in the audible range.

How does the limiter work on the XP 600?

The rear panel LIMITER ON/OFF switch engages a peak limiter. When the output approaches clipping, the limiter quickly reduces gain to minimize distortion and protect speakers. It is recommended to leave it on for most applications.

Can I use the XP 600 with balanced or unbalanced inputs?

Yes. The XLR and TRS inputs accept both balanced and unbalanced signals. For unbalanced XLR connection, link pin 3 to pin 1. For unbalanced TRS, use tip for signal and sleeve for ground, leaving ring unconnected.

What should I do if the PROTECT LED stays on?

The PROTECT LED indicates a fault: shorted speaker terminals, too low load impedance, or thermal overload. Turn off the amplifier, check speaker wiring and impedance, and ensure proper ventilation. If the amplifier overheated, let it cool down before restarting.

How do I clean and maintain the XP 600?

Unplug the amplifier before cleaning. Use a dry cloth only; do not use aerosol or liquid cleaners. Keep the front and rear vents clear of dust to ensure proper airflow. Periodically check that fans are running and unobstructed.

Where can I get spare parts or service for the XP 600?

Contact an authorized Phonic distributor or visit www.phonic.com for a list of service centers. Phonic does not release service manuals to consumers; self-repairs void the warranty. For replacement parts, contact the distributor in your country.

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 between two amplifiers. This provides efficient airflow and support.

COOLING

Two variable-speed fans would start running as soon as the power is being turned on. Before mounting your amplifier, you should familiarize yourself with its cooling requirements.

The air flows from 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 power cords, clogged dust filters and closed 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 and TRS 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 speakers as the power comes on. When the amplifier is switched 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, leave the power connected to the amplifier, try to improve ventilation, 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)

rEach channel of the power amplifier features a signal light to show 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

6 SUBWOOFER SWITCH (XP2100/3100 ONLY)

These two knobs are the level controls for each chan-NORMAL/60/90/120Hz

nel 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 turning on 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.

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.

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 ver 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 (XP2000/2100 & XP 3000 /3100 ONLY)

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.

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, channel2 and bridged mono pin connecting points. A pin out information could be foundbeside the Speakon connector.

13 INPUT CONNECTORS

The power amplifier offers XLR and TRS input connectors for your connecting convenience.

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, but it means that circuit grounding depends on other connected 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.

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.

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.
