check that the following items are included in the
accessory box.
•
Guarantee Card (with instruction manual)
•
Power Cable
•
4 speaker plugs
After removing these items, please retain the packing.
Install the

Connecting to the AC Mains Supply
Connect the socket on the AC Power cable to the Power inlet
g
on the rear panel of
the
XPA
. Now connect the cable to a suitable AC power point.
The mains power switch
i
on the rear panel of the
XPA
should be left on for
normal operation, except when left unattended for a long period when it should
be switched off or disconnected from the AC supply
.
Input Connection
Connect a stereo phono interconnect from the output of the preamplifier to the
XPA's
left and right inputs
d
. Be sure to observe colour coding of the plugs to
keep left and right channels correctly ordered.
Loudspeaker Connection
Fitting the speaker plugs
Check for polarity indicators (+ and -) on the loudspeaker cable and fit the
plugs provided. Observe any signal directionality markings indicated on the
cable. If an arrow is printed on the cable it should point toward the
loudspeaker.
If additional or replacement speaker plugs are required for the
XPA
ensure
that the correct ‘BFA’ type are purchased.
Loudspeaker connection
Connect the left loudspeaker to the rear panel sockets
f
(red speaker plug)
and
e
(black speaker plug) of the
XPA
. Connect the right loudspeaker to the
rear panel sockets
a
(red speaker plug) and
b
(black speaker plug) of the
XPA
.
Bi-amplification
For convenience of connection in applications such as Bi-Amplification the
Chain outputs
c
allow more than one
XPA
to be connected to a Pre-Amplifier.
The Chain facility can be used with two or more
XPAs
for Bi/Tri-amping by
connecting the Chain output of the first
XPA
to the inputs of the next
XPA
.
Such a system provides the sonic benefits of totally separate power
amplification for the bass and treble units of the loudspeakers.
When adding additional
XPAs
to a system, connect a quality RCA phono
interconnect from the Chain output RCA jacks
c
to the inputs
d
of the new
XPA
.
When the input connections to the new amplifier are complete, separate
connections may be made to the bass and treble units of the system
speakers. Fig. 3 shows a wiring schematic for a bi-amped system.
