3.  Introduction 

Congratulations on your purchase of a new ELXA Series professional power amplifier, and thank you 

for your confidence in 

 products. You are among the growing number of audio professionals 

who have made 

 one of t

he world’s leading suppliers of professional and 

commercial/industrial audio systems. 

For your safety, please read the manual before installing and operating the amplifier. The 

 

ELXA Series is based on the same advanced circuit topologies that have made 

 amplifiers 

the choice of touring professionals worldwide. ELXA Series amplifiers are designed for high operating 

efficiency and accurate sonic performance across the full audio bandwidth, even under stressful 

conditions. In order to maintain strict quality assurance standards, all ELXA Series amplifiers are built 

in 

’s state-of-the-art CHINA manufacturing facility. Inner components are the finest available 

and key sub assemblies are pretested before final assembly. 

Finally, each amplifier is “burned in” and 

thoroughly tested (using precision audio test equipment) before shipping.  

 

In addition, all ELXA Series amplifiers in corporate 

 exclusive Tour Class protection feature 

to safeguard both internal circuitry and connected loudspeakers. This proven combination of advanced 

design, quality construction and comprehensive circuit protectors is your guarantee of fail-safe 

reliability. You can depend on consistent, stable performance. 

3.1. Unpacking 

Please inspect the amplifier carefully immediately after unpacking. If you find any damage, notify your 

supplier/dealer immediately. Be sure to save the carton and all packing materials. If you ever need to 

ship the unit back to 

 or an authorized service center, you should use only the original factory 

packing. 

3.2. Installation and Mounting 

ELXA Series amplifiers ELXA400 are 2-rack-space high. 

All mount in standard 19“ racks. Four front-

panel mounting holes are provided on each amplifier. Rear mounting ears give additional support, and 

use of rear supports is highly recommended in all mobile and touring sound systems.
