 Standby: (Orange) This led is lit when the equipment is set in Low Power
Consumption mode. This mode can only be set through the PC connection.
 Mute: (Orange) The system is muted (amplifiers are disabled). The system
can be muted from the PC remote control or from the keypad.
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).
 >8 Overload: 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, both for Low and High channels.
 -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) SLAVE OUTPUT FOR X-208P
4P-Speakon connector used to feed up to three slaves X-208P Line Array Element. In
order to assure proper operation always follow these instructions:

 Do not connect a loudspeaker different than X-208P to this output.
 Do not change or manipulate this connector.
 Always follow the polarity if the 4-pole connector
o 1+/1-: LF+/LF-
o 2+/2-: HF+/HF-
Misusing the slave output for X-208P may lead to serious damage for all involved
equipment, and will not be covered by the Warranty.
