REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

With the addition of the optional Remote Level 

Control (HD-RLC), you can control the volume 
of one or both channel pairs of the XD400/4v2 
from the front of the vehicle. This is useful for 
subwoofer level control, rear channel level control, 
center channel level control or even as a master 
volume control for the 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 single-line, four-wire 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 channels equally.

In the “3&4” position, only the level of 

channels 3 and 4 will be affected by the HD-RLC 
knob (channels 1, and 2 will not).

PREOUTS

The XD400/4v2 incorporates a buffered, pass-

through preamp output section, so that additional 
amplifiers can be easily added to the system. This 
pass-through preamp 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 XD400/4v2 
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 
would change accordingly.

2)   “Sum”: When the XD400/4v2 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: Any signal delay between the front and rear 
channels can result in a cancellation of signals 
within certain frequency ranges when using the 
Sum” position. If you experience a loss of bass 
output in the “Sum” position, compared to the 
1&2” position, you are likely dealing with a 
delayed signal in either the front or rear outputs 
of the source unit. If the front to rear delay is 
desirable for other reasons or if it cannot be 
defeated at the source unit, we recommend that 
you use the “1&2 position. 

Note: The preamp output delivers the same signal 
that is connected to the XD400/4v2’s inputs. 
The preamp output signal is not affected by the 
amplifier’s filter controls. If the input signal is 
full-range, the preamp output will be full-range.
