INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing XP series power amplifier. The unit is
designed to provide a good combination of power, audio clarity,
reliability and durability. An efficient heat-dissipation system
comprising a high-surface area heat sink coupled with two
variable speed fans ensures quiet and reliable cooling. Good
sound quality and sturdy construction make this unit ideal for
a multitude of amplification tasks; from studio installations to
mobile DJs, house of worship and touring bands. In order to
get the best performance out of your XP series power ampli
-
fier, please read this user’ s manual carefully, and retain it for
future reference.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The power amplifier can be installed in a standard 19-inch equip-
ment rack. It requires 3 units (5.25 inches) for the XP 2000, XP
3000, and 2 units (3.5 inches) for the XP1000 of vertical rack
space and secures to the rack cabinet with four rack mount
screws and cup washers. In a rack, it is best to mount units one
above the other, with at least a unit of space at least between
two amplifiers. This provides efficient airflow and support.
COOLING
Two variable-speed fans would start running as soon as the power
is being turned on. Before mounting your amplifier, you should
familiarize yourself with its cooling requirements. The air flows from
the front to the back, so it is important not to block the amplifier
front air vents. If the amplifier is rack-mounted, leave some space
in front of the rack to prevent heated air being drawn back into
the front-to-back airflow. Airflow restrictions are the most com-
mon cause of inadequate cooling. They may result from improper
mounting, bundles of power cords, clogged dust filters and closed
rack doors. Mount the amplifier to allow sufficient airflow out the
front outlets to ensure your amplifier work properly.
WIRING
The balanced XLR and TRS input connectors will accept the
line-level output of most devices for ultimate input convenience.
The amplifier built-in XLR and TRS connectors can be wired simi-
larly for balanced or unbalanced, floating or ground-referenced
sources. The output connector is a binding post with Speakon
which provides an easy connection when using banana plugs,
spade lugs or bare wires.
