metallurgy of the fuse elements) between commercial grade and audiophile grade fuses.
We cannot guarantee that your audiophile grade rated fuse will blow at the proper in-rush
current, and in doing so provide adequate protection to yourself or this unit.
Use of other than the approved / indicated fuses may invalidate your product warranty,
result in product damage and potential risk to life and property. Should you desire or have
need to change the fuse, please contact your dealer or the factory.
On each gain channel there are 5 numbered inputs, one dedicated home theater input and a
tape loop (total of 7 useable inputs) Each of the 7 inputs accept either single-ended (RCA)
or balanced XLR cables.
On each gain channel there are two pairs of outputs associated with volume controls. One
main output and one slave output (either RCA or XLR). The “slave” output may be set
equal to or less than the “main” output by use of the “small volume control knob on the
gain channels.
Once set both “main” and “slave” outputs track each other through the main volume
control on the control chassis. Having two available and relatively independent outputs with
a single volume control allows for bi-amping using amplifiers of different gain or drivers of
different sensitivity.
The output of the “Tape-loop” is at 0dB (unity gain) output which allows for convenient
recording (independent of and bypassing the volume control).
Balanced inputs and outputs are via XLR connectors. Single-ended input and outputs are via
RCA connections. The XLR connections in all instances conform to AES/EBU standards,
where Pin 1 is grounded , Pin 2 is positive signal and Pin 3 is inverted signal.
The single-ended ground ( RCA Shell) is in parallel with the Balanced ground (Pin 1 of the
XLR) on the inputs.
The input from the RCA feeds a summing junction that maximized the patented
supersymmetry (X circuit) and preserves the balanced character of the XP-32 from input to
output when fed from a single-ended source.
