REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

With the addition of the optional Remote 

Level Control (HD-RLC or MHD-RLC), 
you can control the volume of one, or both 
channel pairs of the M400/4-24V from a 
location of your choosing. This is useful for 
subwoofer level control, cabin speaker level 
control, zone volume control or even as a 
master volume control for the entire system.

The HD-RLC connects to the jack labeled 

“Remote Level Control” on the Connection Panel 
of the amplifier using a standard telephone cable 
(supplied with the HD-RLC). If desired, multiple 
XD (and HD) amplifiers can be controlled from 
a single HD-RLC controller using a simple phone 
line “splitter” and multiple phone cables.

When connected to the amplifier, the 

HD-RLC operates as follows. At full counter-
clockwise rotation, the audio will mute 
completely. At full clockwise rotation the level 
will be the same as if the HD-RLC was not 
connected at all. In other words, it operates 
strictly as a level attenuator. 

“Remote Level Mode” Switch:  This switch 
allows you to assign the operation of the 
HD-RLC to one, or both pairs of channels.  In 
the “All” position, the HD-RLC knob will affect 
all three channel pairs equally. In the “3&4” 
position, only the level of channels 3 and 4 will 
be affected by the HD-RLC knob (Channels 1 & 
2 will not).

 

PREOUTS

The M400/4-24V incorporates a pass-through 

preamp output section, so that additional 
amplifiers can be easily added to the system. This 
pass-through pre-amp output can be configured 
two different ways using the switch labeled  
Preouts From”.

 

1)  “1&2”: The preamp output delivers the same 

signal that is connected to the CH 1&2 Inputs.  
This mode is useful for feeding a subwoofer 
amplifier when the M400/4-24V is being used 
to drive front and rear speaker systems. In this 
mode, the preamp output signal will depend 
only on the input signal level of CH 1&2, 
allowing Channels 3&4 to be faded without 
affecting the subwoofer level. If CH 1&2 is 
faded in this mode, the signal level of the 
preamp output will change accordingly.

2)  “Sum”: When the M400/4-24V is being used 

to drive front and rear speaker systems, this 
preamp output mode will deliver a summed 
front/rear stereo signal to a subwoofer amplifier, 
while permitting fading of the front and 
rear speaker systems from the source unit. 
This method prevents a loss of signal to the 
subwoofer amplifier when the system is faded to 
the front or the rear by the head unit.

Note: In either mode, the preamp output signal is 
not affected by any crossover filter selected (if the 
input signal is full-range, the preamp output will 
be full-range).
