Frequently Asked Questions - XP 5000 PHONIC

What is the power output of the Phonic XP 5000 amplifier?

In stereo mode, the XP 5000 delivers 1050W per channel at 8 ohms, 1600W at 4 ohms, and 2500W at 2 ohms (1% THD). In bridge mono mode, it outputs 3600W at 8 ohms and 5000W at 4 ohms (1% THD).

How do I set the amplifier to stereo mode?

Set DIP switches 4, 5, 7, and 8 to the left (OFF) position. Ensure switches 6 and 9 are also left to disable parallel and bridge indicators. Connect speakers to the appropriate outputs.

What input connectors are available on the XP 5000?

The amplifier features balanced XLR, 1/4" TRS, and barrier strip input connectors for flexible connectivity.

How can I reduce clipping and protect my speakers?

Enable the built-in peak limiter by setting DIP switch 3 (channel 1) and DIP switch 10 (channel 2) to the right (ON) position. Also use the high-pass filter (30Hz or 50Hz) to remove subsonic frequencies.

What is the difference between stereo, parallel, and bridge modes?

Stereo: each channel operates independently. Parallel: the same input signal feeds both channels but outputs are separate (loads must be above 2Ω each). Bridge mono: combines both channels to drive a single load at twice the power (load must be above 4Ω).

How do I wire the Speakon connector for stereo or bridge mode?

For stereo, connect channel 1 to pins 1+ and 1-, channel 2 to pins 2+ and 2-. For bridge mono, connect the speaker across pin 1+ (BRG+) and pin 2+ (BRG-). Refer to the pinout diagram on the amplifier.

What are the voltage and power requirements?

The amplifier operates on 100-120V or 220-240V AC (factory configured), 50/60 Hz. For 120V models, a 20A circuit is recommended. Power consumption is typically 14.4A at 120V.

How do I clean the amplifier?

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a dry cloth only; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Keep ventilation openings clear of dust.

What should I do if the PROTECT LED stays on?

Check for short circuits at the speaker terminals or excessively low load impedance. The amplifier will remain in protection until the fault is fixed. Improve ventilation if overheating.

Can the amplifier be mounted in a rack?

Yes, it fits a standard 19" rack and requires 3U (5.25") of vertical space. Use four rack screws and cup washers. Ensure proper airflow by not blocking front or rear vents.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING

The power amplifier can be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. It requires 3 units (5.25 inches) 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 ventila-

tion, 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)

Each 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

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 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.

6. DISPLAY

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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. CHASSIS GROUNDING CONNECTING POINT

Please refer to your local safety code for proper grounding.

11. 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.

12. INPUT CONNECTORS

The power amplifier of fers XLR and TRS input connectors for your 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.

13. 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.

14. MODE SWITCHES HPF

These switches (DIP switches 1 and 2 for channel 1, 11 and 12 for channel 2) can activate a 30 Hz or 50 Hz 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.

LIMITER ON/OFF

These DIP switches (DIP switches 3 for channel 1 and number 10 for channel 2) allow you to activate the peak limiter circuit built into the power amplifier. This function will reduce distortion and protect speakers. To activate the built-in limiters, DIP switches 3 (channel 1 limiter) and 10 (channel 2 limiter) should be set to the right position.

PARALLEL / STEREO / BRIDGE MONO

Turn the power off before changing the operation mode as to avoid damaging your XP mixer. The Number 4 and 5 DIP switches allow users to change between stereo and parallel input modes, whereas DIP switches 7 and 8 are used to activate bridge mono mode. DIP switches 6 and 9 are used to activate the Parallel and Bridge Mono indicators, respectively.

Stereo Mode: each channel of the amplifier runs independently with its own signal and speakers. To set the amplifier to stereo mode, set DIP switches 4, 5, 7 and 8 to the left position. Dip switches 6 and 9 should be set to the left hand position, as to ensure the parallel and bridge mono indicators are off. The loading of each speaker in stereo mode should be above 2 ohms.

Parallel Mode: this mode allows the input of channel 1 to feed channel 2 also, allowing the channel 1 and 2 outputs to drive their own speakers independently, however with the same source. To set to parallel mode, DIP switches 4 and 5 should be set to the right, however switches 7 and 8 should be positioned to the left. You can also activate the parallel indicator by setting DIP switch 6 to the right and DIP switch 9 to the left. The loading of each speaker in parallel mode should be above 2 ohms.

Bridge Mono: the signal of both inputs is combined, and fed through the bridge mono outputs at twice the power. The channel 2 gain control should be set to a minimum, and a rated load must be used for the higher output power. To set bridge mono mode, DIP switches 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 should all be set to the right, and switches 6, 10 and 11 should be set to the left. You can also activate the Bridge Mono LED by setting DIP switch 9 to the right and DIP switch 6 to the left. The loading of the speaker in bridge mono mode should be above 4 ohms.
