INPUTS -
The GX Series amplifiers allow you to use balanced XLR input connector per channel. Use this connection to connect the output
signal from a mixer, cross-over or EQ to the GX Series amplifiers. A balanced connection is recommended for cable runs longer than 20ft. When
constructing your own XLR cables, follow the pin configuration described below for proper connections. You may use the two XLR “Input Thru”
jacks to jump a parallel connection to another amplifier or other device. For example: Connect a XLR cable to the input of channel one. You may
now connect a XLR cable from the channel one “Input Thru” jack to the input jack of another amplifier's channel one input. This will reduce the
use of “Y” cables.
OUTPUTS -
BINDING POST/BANANA PLUG (GX-4000 / GX-5000 / GX-7000 only):
Connect your speakers to the binding post outputs on the rear of the
amplifier. The speaker wire may be connected by bare wire (directly connected, usually for permanent connections), banana plug, or spade
connector. Connections are made to channel one and channel two outputs for Stereo Mode or across the red terminals of channel one and
channel two for Mono Bridge Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Although a speaker will operate with the positive and negative leads plugged into either terminal on the amplifier
binding post, be sure to plug the negative lead into the black terminal and positive lead into the red terminal. Ensuring proper polarity will avoid
speakers being out of phase that can cause a loss of bass response.
BANANA PLUGS: (Figure 6)
When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using banana plug, be sure that the red
and black caps on the binding post are completely screwed in. Insert the banana plug into the caps of the binding post,
be sure that the banana plug is inserted securely to avoid the risk of popping out.
