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 ampliers. This provides efcient airow and support.
COOLING
Two variable-speed fans would start running as soon as the power
is being turned on. Before mounting your amplier, you should
familiarize yourself with its cooling requirements. The air ows from
the front to the back, so it is important not to block the amplier
front air vents. If the amplier is rack-mounted, leave some space
in front of the rack to prevent heated air being drawn back into
the front-to-back airow. Airow restrictions are the most com-
mon cause of inadequate cooling. They may result from improper
mounting, bundles of power cords, clogged dust lters and closed
rack doors. Mount the amplier to allow sufcient airow out the
front outlets to ensure your amplier work properly.
WIRING
The balanced XLR and TRS input connectors will accept the
line-level output of most devices for ultimate input convenience.
The amplier built-in XLR and TRS connectors can be wired simi-
larly for balanced or unbalanced, oating 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.
