Emotiva XPA-1, User Manual

Page: 18 / 37

Under normal use, this switch should remain on, leaving the amplifier in standby position, and coming to full power with
either the front panel ‘STANDBY’ button, or activation through the remote trigger.
In ‘STANDBY’ mode the power button will emit an amber glow, but the unit is not fully powered. A small amount of amps are
used in this mode, less than an average night light would use. If you are away for an extended period of time (more than a
few days), shut off all power to the amplifier with the main power switch on the back of the amplifier.
12. Remote Trigger Input ‐ The XPA ‐ 3 can be remotely triggered by another device. When a remote trigger output from a
preamplifier, processor or other audio device is connected to the trigger input here, the amplifier will power up and shut
down along with the first device.
13. Channel Three Speaker Terminals ‐
This is nominally the Front Right speaker (although you may assign the channels
differently if you like).
These 5 way binding posts accept stripped
speaker wire, banana plugs
(single or dual)
,
or spade
connectors. Be sure to observe correct polarity when connecting speakers and be sure that the wires do not touch
between positive and negative terminals.
14. Channel Two Speaker Terminals ‐
This is nominally the Center speaker (although you may assign the channels
differently if you like).
These 5 way binding posts accept stripped
speaker wire, banana plugs
(single or dual)
,
or spade
connectors. Be sure to observe correct polarity when connecting speakers and be sure that the wires do not touch
between positive and negative terminals.
15. Channel One Speaker Terminals ‐
This is nominally the Front Left speaker (although you may assign the channels
differently if you like).
These 5 way binding posts accept stripped
speaker wire, banana plugs
(single or dual)
,
or spade
connectors. Be sure to observe correct polarity when connecting speakers and be sure that the wires do not touch
between positive and negative terminals.
Note: Potentially lethal voltages present! Never connect, disconnect or
change
speaker wiring with the amplifier turned
on.
16. IEC Power Cable Connection
17. Voltage Indicator ‐ All Emoitva amplifiers operate on either 115V or 230V. The voltage is detected when the amplifier is
turned on, and is identified by the indicator lights. There are no user adjustments, the amplifier automatically adjusts to the
voltage.
