2. INTRODUCTION
The CXA240 is designed for continuous duty in speech,
music, paging and sound reinforcement applications in
churches, schools, offices, arenas, hotel meeting rooms,
convention centers, recreation facilities and other venues
demanding high performance, flexible features, and rugged
dependability.
The CXA240 has a 240 watt power amplifier, with an
internal output transformer. The outputs are screw terminals
that accept bare wire or spade terminals.
There are four inputs: two unbalanced RCA, and two
combination inputs, capable of accepting balanced XLR,
1/4" TRS, or unbalanced 1/4" TS connections from line-level
sources. A rear panel level control allows adjustment of the
input signals.
Output modes include 4
Ω
low impedance, and 70 V
and 100 V constant voltage. The smart output stage is fully
protected against permanent damage caused by overloading,
shorts, and extreme temperatures.
The CXA240 operates on either 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60Hz,
determined by a rear panel voltage select switch, and is
supplied by a detachable IEC power cord.
A rear panel terminal strip connection is provided for
connecting an external 24 VDC backup battery, with a rear
panel DC power switch.
The front panel provides a meter that indicates output
signal strength, ranging from –20 dB to 0 dB and clipping.
Three status LEDs on the front panel show when the
amplifier has a signal present, when the amplifier is in
protection mode, and when the peak output is reached.
The front panel incorporates holes for rack mounting, and it
will take up three rack spaces. There are two handles fitted on
the front panel.
