Power
Load Impedance: Safe with all types of loads. Rated for 2 to 8 ohms in Stereo, 8 ohms in Bridge-Mono.
AC Line Voltages Available (±10%): 120VAC, 60 Hz and 230VAC, 50 Hz.
Controls
Level: Two front-panel, black rotary level controls, one for each channel.
Power: Front-panel switch; on when in the UP position.
Circuit Breaker: Provides overload protection.
Indicators
Clip: Two front-panel red LEDs, one for each channel, illuminate when the channel’s output signal is being overdriven.
Power: Green front-panel LED indicates amplifier has been turned on and AC power is available.
Fault: Yellow front-panel LED illuminates when amplifier is in protect mode. Also illuminates briefly during normal power-up when amplifier is first switched on.
Input/Output
Input Connectors: One per channel; back-panel three-pin female XLR input connectors.
Input Impedance: (nominally balanced, nominally unbalanced): 20 k ohms, 10 k ohms.
Output Connectors: Two 4-pole Speakon® connectors (one per channel) and two pairs of 5-way binding posts; accepts banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire. (European models do not accept banana plugs.)
DC Output Offset (shorted input): ±10 millivolts.
Output Signal: Stereo, unbalanced, two-channel.
Protection
XLS Series amplifiers provide extensive protection, including output current limiting, DC protection, circuit breaker, and special thermal protection for the unit’s transformers.
