MONO TRI-AMPING
To use the XC3000 in a Tri-Amped sound system, connect your full range frequency sources into the “CHANNEL
ONE” 1 / 4” PHONE or XLR input connectors at the rear panel of the XC3000. Then connect the “CHANNEL ONE”
“LOW OUT”, “MID OUT”, and “HIGH OUT” phone XLR jacks to the inputs of your power amplifiers. Note: this will
require three separate amplifier channels. If you will be using two stereo power amps connect the mids and highs
to channels one and two of one amp. Operate the second power amp in bridged mode and make the connections for
the lows.
Set the “2 WAY / 3 WAY” selector switch on the front panel of the XC3000 so that the unit will operate in Tri-Amp
mode. Now set the “GAIN” control of “CHANNEL ONE” to “0” dB (center of rotation). Set the “LOW LEVEL” , “MID
LEVEL”, and “HIGH LEVEL” controls to -∞ (off position). Adjust the “LOW / MID” and “MID / HIGH” frequency selec-
tor knobs to the approximate desired crossover points.
Power up your system and send signal through your XC3000. Slowly bring up the “LOW LEVEL” control until the
desired volume level is realized. Next bring up the “MID LEVEL” and “HIGH LEVEL” controls until the lows, mids, and
highs sound well balanced. Now you can fine tune the crossover frequencies by adjusting the “LOW / MID” and “MID
/ HIGH” frequency selector knobs.
STEREO TRI-AMPING
Stereo tri-amplification of the XC3000 works in exactly the same manner as in mono tri-amping except that you utilize
both channels, and power two sets of speaker cabinets.
