XPA-1L
Quick Start
To get the most from your XPA-1L, we urge you to read the entire manual. If you just can’t
wait to listen to it, this section will cover the basics you need to get started.
• Find a secure location for your XPA-1L (you probably have a pair of them).
• Connect your XPA-1L to a signal source.
• Connect your XPA-1L to a speaker (4 ohm or 8 ohm) using reasonably heavy gauge
speaker wires (at least 18 gauge).
• Find some music you
really
like to listen to.
• Turn on the AC Power switch and turn up the volume a bit!
• Enjoy!
While you’re enjoying your XPA-1L, it would be a great time to read the rest of the manual
to learn more about it.
Location and Installation
Be sure to install your XPA-1L in a location with plenty of ventilation. If you are installing it
in an enclosed location, ensure that there is sufficient ventilation or forced air cooling. If you
are installing it in a “stack” or rack, ensure that there is sufficient clearance to allow free flow
of air on all sides of the XPA-1L. We recommend at least four inches of clearance on all
sides for the XPA-1L (if you can’t provide sufficient clearance, then forced air ventilation is
strongly recommended).
While the XPA-1L will get quite warm in Class A Mode, it will never get dangerously hot,
nor will it exceed CE safety limits for case temperature. You should, however, be especially
careful to avoid blocking the vents on the XPA-1L when running it in Class A Mode.
If the XPA-1L runs excessively hot due to insufficient ventilation or very high ambient
temperature, the intelligent monitoring system will automatically switch it into Class A/B
Mode.
