IMPORTANT

:  When  the  amplifier  is  in  MUTE,  the  PROTECT  LED  will  be  also  lit  to 

show  that  the  amplifier  is  disabled.  Also  when  the  system  is  waking  up  from  the 
STANDBY  mode,  the  PROTECT  led  will  be  lit  for  a  few  seconds.  Under  these 
circumstances the PROTECT LED is reporting that the amplifier is disabled, but not a 
fault condition.

D) SIGNAL INPUT LEDS

: Monitor the signal arriving at the module input.

Input:

 Signal is present at the input. Nominal input level is +8dBu (2Vrms).

OVLD:

  The  input  signal  exceeds  +14dBu  (4Vrms),  so  it  will  be  compressed. 

Avoid the continuous lighting of this led in order to preserve the dynamic range 
of the audio signal.

E) OUPUT LEDS

: Show the amplifier output level 

-24dB:

 The amplifier is delivering output power at -24dB of its maximum power

-12dB:

 The amplifier is delivering output power at -12dB of its maximum power

Clip:

 The amplifier is delivering its maximum output power 

The connection panel has the following parts:

F) NETWORK: 

Computer  connection  through  Ethernet  protocol.  Two  8-pin  RJ45  / 

EtherCon®  compatible  connectors  with  an  internal  switch  allow  the  connection  of 
several units in daisy-chain. Please refer to Master Audio DSPStudio Quick Installation 
Guide for more information on the remote connection.

G) BALANCED INPUT/LINK

XLR-3 Female balanced signal connector for signal input.
XLR-3 Male connector for parallel connection of various cabinets with the same input 
signal.

IMPORTANT:

  Please  always  use  balanced  microphone  cable  with  the  following  pin 

assignment:

1= Shield (Ground)  2= Live (+)    3= Return (-)

H) AC  INPUT/OVERVOLTAGE  PROTECTION: 

These  leds  show  the  status  of  the 

AC mains supply.

ON:

 (Blue) When lit, the equipment is ON and the AC input level is within the 

permitted range (200 to 250 VAC).

STANDBY:

 (Orange) This led is lit when the equipment is sensing the AC 

voltage at the input. At power-up this led will lit for a second while the systems 
checks for the input voltage.

OVERVOLTAGE  PROTECTION:

  (Red)  When  activated,  the  AC  voltage  is 

permanently out of the permitted range of the equipment (>250VAC), so it will 
remain under protection until this condition is solved. Revise your connections 
and mains power installation and consider that other equipment connected to 
this line may have been damaged.

I) AC MAINS INPUT/LINK:

 Mains supply connection via PowerCon. 

Blue connector for AC in.

Grey connector to feed other units in parallel. Linking up to 2 units of X-218W is 
possible,  provided  that  a  quality  cable  of  a  minimum  section  of  3x2,5mm2  is 
used. Connecting more than 2 units in parallel may lead to a voltage drop in the 
cable that will reduce the equipment performance.
