INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The
power amplifier can be installed in a standard 19-
inch
equipment rack. It requires 3 units (5.25 inches)
for
the XP 2000/2100, XP 3000/3100, and 2 units (3.5
inches)
for the XP600/1000 of vertical rack space and
secures
to the rack cabinet with four rack mount
screws
and cup washers. In a rack, it is best to mount
units
one above the other, with at least a unit of space
at
least between two amplifiers. This provides efficient
airflow
and support.

Two variable-speed fans would start running as soon
as
the power is being turned on. Before mounting your
amplifier, you should familiarize yourself with its cool-
ing
requirements.
The
air flows from the front to the back, so it is impor-
tant not to block the amplifier front air vents. If the
amplifier
is rack-mounted, leave some space in front
of
the rack to prevent heated air being drawn back
into
the front-to-back airflow.
Airflow
restrictions are the most common cause of
inadequate
cooling. They may result from improper
mounting,
bundles of power cords, clogged dust fil-
ters
and closed rack doors. Mount the amplifier to
allow
sufficient airflow out the front outlets to ensure
your
amplifier work properly.

The
balanced XLR and TRS input connectors will ac-
cept
the line-level output of most devices for ultimate
input
convenience. The amplifier built-in XLR and TRS
connectors
can be wired similarly for balanced or un-
balanced,
floating or ground-referenced sources. The
output
connector is a binding post with Speakon which
provides
an easy connection when using
banana
plugs, spade lugs or bare wires.
