2. Connect the loudspeakers to the channel A and channel B 

SPEAKER

OUTPUTS (8, 9)

. THE TOTAL SPEAKER LOAD MUST BE AT

LEAST 4 OHMS PER CHANNEL FOR CHANNELS A AND B. If you
try to operate at a lower impedance, the amplifier will overheat and
then go into protection mode and stop operation until you correct the
load conditions.

3. If you choose to use additional amplifiers, connect the additional

amplifiers to the XPM-3000 using the 

LINE OUTPUT

 

(1, 2)

connectors.

4. Set the 

CROSSOVER SWITCH (3)

 to FULL RANGE so that the full

range signal will go to the satellite channels (Channels A and B).

5. With the 

LEVEL CONTROLS (20, 21)

 of the channels set to zero

(fully counterclockwise), turn the 

POWER (23)

 on. Apply a signal to

the input of the amplifier. The level of the input signal should be as
high as you will ever need it to be. This way, it will be as high above
the amplifier’s noise floor as possible, ensuring an excellent
performance and signal to noise ratio. Adjust the 

LEVEL CONTROLS

for each channel to achieve the desired maximum listening level.
Note, when the clip LEDs light, there is distortion present in the
amplifier’s output section. If a clip LED remains on or flashes
repeatedly, reduce the signal level by lowering the input level control
for the channel that is clipping or reduce the level at the source.

Using the Signal Ground Lift Switch

Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the

ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground can
eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.

1. With the power amp on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal

present) with the ground applied (the 

SIGNAL GROUND LIFT

SWITCH (15) 

in the left position).

2.

Then turn the power off before moving the SIGNAL GROUND
LIFT SWITCH (15)

. Lift the ground by moving the 

SIGNAL GROUND

LIFT SWITCH

 to the right, turn the power back on and listen to

determine which position will provide a signal devoid of background
noise and hum. Keep the 

SIGNAL GROUND LIFT

 

SWITCH 

in the

ground position if the noise level remains the same in either position.

CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER
AMPLIFIER IN ANY WAY. TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN
BE HAZARDOUS.
