PASS THRU: Pushing this button twice, sets the pre-amplifier to it’s 0
dB gain setting, indicating volume step 75 (0 dB) and input 5. We have
intentionally made this command a two-step operation such that you
will not accidentally select this command with its associated high
volume. Pressing the button once will bring up the question of “YES”
on the display. If you are sure that you wish to access the pass
through function, press the button a second time. There is a time out
built into this command sequence. If you do not confirm the “pass thru”
command within 7 seconds then the command sequence aborts and
the XP-10 resorts to its previous status.
DISPLAY: The default setting for the display is “bright”, pressing the
display button once changes the display to its “dim” or “low intensity”
setting, pressing the button a second time selects “off” for the display.
When “off” is selected any other control function will cause the display
to indicate product operational status for approximately 7 seconds and
then the display will once again blank. Pressing the display button a
third time cycles back to a “bright display”
Design Comments
We recommend the use of the balanced output mode where possible.
Balanced input to power-amplifiers will typically retain the character of
the input mode, but offers less distortion, less noise, more gain, and
more voltage swing, without compromising the sound.
