All input, output and power
connections should be made with the
mains power switched OFF.

Using good quality co-axial audio leads,
connect the left and right outputs from
your pre-amplifier or other controlled
source to either
A
or
B
RCA inputs.

These RCA sockets have “line level”
audio “loop” output routed from either
A
or
B
input by the selector switch on the
front panel.
They are for onward connection to
another amplifier if required.

The X-P200 is a stereo amplifier, but can
instead be used in “bridge” mode to obtain a
single (mono) output with higher power.
However, do not attempt both speaker
connection methods at the same time.
Conventional stereo use :
Connect each of your loudspeakers to the
pair of terminals on the back panel marked
LEFT
and
RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT
.
The wiring must be “in phase”, namely, the
red
(
+
) and
black
(
-
) terminals must be
connected to the left and right speakers the
same way round.
Bridge mode :
Connect a single (mono) loudspeaker
between
LEFT
and
RIGHT
red (+)
terminals only
Note that in this mode, the right-hand
channel red terminal becomes negative (
-
)
for phasing purposes. This is important for
maintaining correct phase with any other
amplifier being used in your audio system.
Important :
* The load impedance must not be less
than 4 ohms.
* Do not make any earth connection to
the speaker terminals.
