1. XD10P Overview
1.1. Scope of this manual
This manual contains information on the installation, set-up, and operation of the XD10P Cinema Audio
Processor. Also included is fundamental information on alignment of projector sound heads.

Dual stereo line level inputs for 2 separate Non-Sync inputs. Non-Sync 1 has fade-in/fade-
out capability.
•
Microphone input for public address.
•
100% digital, “A” and “SR” type noise reduction that emulates the analog standards.
•
Eight “discrete” analog inputs for interfacing to existing digital-format film decoders.

Advanced automation features including level settings for each format.
•
Removable memory module contains a backup of the system’s settings.
The XD10P unit includes all of the above features in every unit. All units come with an international
power supply.
1.3. System Hardware Mounting and Grounding
The XD10P is designed to mount in a standard 19-inch (483 mm) rack, and is two standard rack spaces
high (2U = 3.5 inches or 89 mm). We recommend blank panels above and below whenever space permits.
Mounting the unit immediately above a major heat-producing component (like a power amplifier) is not
recommended. The XD10P includes a three-prong grounding plug and a three-wire power cord to
accommodate a safe ground path from the chassis to the electrical system ground. Defeating this ground
by removing the ground prong is not recommended. The equipment rack itself should be properly
grounded. We also recommend using a surge protector to protect sensitive equipment from electrical
fluctuations.
1.4. System Cooling and Ventilation
Caution
: Provide the XD10P with adequate ventilation for cooling during operation.
It is recommended that one rack space above and one below the XD10P be left open to allow outside air
circulation through the unit. A ventilation panel is recommended for projection booths where the normal
ambient temperature exceeds specified equipment operating temperatures listed in the safety section of
this manual (page viii). Also, it is recommended that equipment with no more than a 9-inch (23 cm) depth
be mounted directly above the XD10P to ensure adequate airflow. Keep all vents clear.
