Installing Your Xtant Amplifier

Performance Features

Active Resonance Control

Active Resonance Control (ARC) circuitry compensates for unwanted resonance frequencies in midbass or midrange speakers.

Fully Regulated PWM Power Supply

Provides high efficiency and consistent output performance even when battery voltage is less than optimum.

Crossover

Allows selection of low-pass or high-pass frequency range for optimal amplifier performance.

Balanced/Floating Input

Eliminates 'system noise' from ground loops and accepts up to 17V input signal.

Protection Circuitry

Incorporates Thermal and Overcurrent protection to reduce power and maintain operation during issues.

Status LEDs

Three LEDs indicate amplifier operational status: ON, overcurrent protection, and thermal protection.

Optional Performance Enhancements

High Level Adapters allow connecting source units with speaker level outputs to the amplifier.

Connections & Controls

Input

RCA type input connections for source units with output signal levels of 100mV-17V.

Output

RCA type output connections send full range signals to additional amplifiers, avoiding 'Y' connectors.

Balanced Input

Switch to eliminate signal path noise by isolating ground and setting proper input voltage range.

Gain

Feature to fine-tune the amplifier's input sensitivity to match the source unit's output level.

A.R.C.

Active Resonance Control level adjustment to improve mid-range sound quality by reducing resonant frequencies.

Xover Switch

Switch to select preferred frequency range for amplifier output: high-pass, low-pass, or full range.

Xover Frequency Control

Allows selection of exact low-pass or high-pass frequency range for optimal amplifier performance.

Bass Boost

Adds up to 12dB of low frequency impact, centered at 45Hz, for enhanced audio system bass.

Speaker Connection

Output terminals for proper speaker connections. Bridging requires left positive and right negative terminals.

Power Terminals

Main power connection terminals. Power and ground wire size should be the same gauge.

+12V

Power wire connects to an inline fuse, then to the positive side of the vehicle battery.

Safeguards

Fusing Requirements

Amplifiers are not fuse protected; an inline fuse must be installed within 18" of the battery for safety.

Location

Mount amplifier horizontally or vertically on a firm, flat surface away from heat sources and moisture.

Common Oversights

Key installation oversights include disconnecting battery ground, avoiding drilling guides, and routing wires properly.

Installation

Procedure

Step-by-step guide for safely connecting and mounting the amplifier, including pre-installation checks.

Adjustments

Crossover Selection

Selects the amplifier's output type: High-pass for tweeters, Low-pass for woofers, or Full Range.

Crossover Frequency Selection

Adjustable between 40-120Hz to match speaker component specifications or user preference.

Balanced Input Adjustment

Sets input sensitivity for RCA or High Level inputs based on source unit voltage output.

Gain Control Adjustment

Fine-tunes input sensitivity by adjusting gain clockwise until distortion, then slightly counter-clockwise.

Bass Boost Control Adjustment

Selects boost level (0-12dB) to enhance bass performance, adjusted after final gains are set.

A.R.C.

Adjusts Active Resonance Control to improve mid-range sound quality by reducing resonant frequencies.

En Cas De Difficulté

Symptôme : Ne s'allume pas

Troubleshooting steps for amplifier not powering on, checking connections, voltage, and fuses.

Symptôme : Il s'allume sans son

Diagnosing no sound with red LED on by checking connections, signal cables, and speaker short circuits.

Symptôme : L'ampli s'allume, il n'y a pas de son, le led est orange

Addresses the orange LED indicating thermal protection, requiring the unit to cool down.

Symptôme : Pas d'un son d'un côté

Troubleshooting one-sided sound by checking balance, speaker cables, RCA cables, and their connections.

Symptôme : Son particulièrement bas

Investigating low sound issues by checking fader, amplifier level settings, and active filter position.

Symptôme : Coupures de son fréquentes

Resolving frequent sound cutouts caused by overheating, poor ventilation, or incorrect impedance loads.

Symptôme : L'indicateur de mise sous tension varie lorsque l'ampli fonctionne

Checks battery connection, cable routing, and battery voltage for fluctuations in the power indicator.
