Connecting the Outputs
Connecting the Loudspeaker Outputs
The power amplifier is supplied with outputs for 4 model XCA 400 and XCA 402 speakers or for 2 model
XCA 200 and XCA 202 speakers.
Each of the 2 loudspeaker outputs can also be used in the mono-bridge mode. In fact, only one loud-
speaker is powered in this mode, but the available output voltage is higher.
Moreover, one cinch output remains for triggering other system components.
The loudspeakers must be connected with double wires. Insulate The loudspea-
kers must be connected with double wires. Insulate the naked wire at connecting
terminals. Make sure that there are no harp edges which may damage the cables.
Only use loudspeakers which have a sufficiently high loading capacity (see „Tech-
nical Data").
Make sure that the loudspeakers have been connected in the correct polarity, i.e.
plus and minus signs harmonize!
The connection cables of the loudspeakers are normally coded: Some loudspeaker
manufacturers indicate the (+) wire by means of an additional colour stripe, others
use a corrugated cable for the (+) terminal and a smooth one for the (-) terminal.
This amplifier has been designed for a loudspeaker impedance of at least 2 ohms
(stereo mode) or 4 ohms (mono-bridge mode). Never connect loudspeakers with a
lower impedance.
Depending on the model and mode of operation, connect the loudspeaker outputs according to the fol-
lowing schemes. Observe the minimum impedance given for the corresponding mode of operation.
