60 Hz, 100 VAC 50/60 Hz, 220 and 240 VAC
50 Hz.
Controls
Level: Two front-panel rotary level controls,
one for each channel.
LCD Screen: Back-lit LCD allows for
crossover configuration, amp mode
configuration and clip compressor
configuration.
Menu/Prev/Select: Three buttons located
near the LCD screen that are used to
configure and access the integrated
processing.

overload protection.
PureBand
TM
Crossover System
Crossover Filter:
Linkwitz-Riley 24dB per ocatve.

High Pass (both channels HPF),
Bridge (LPF or HPF).
Peak
X
TM
Limiters: Channel independent clip
limiter designed to provide maximum output
while protecting your loudspeakers.
Indicators
Signal Presence Indicators: Two green LEDs,
one for each channel, illuminate when the
channel’s input signal exceeds –40 dBu.
–10 Indicator: Green LED flashes when
output signal exceeds –10 dB below clip.
–20 Indicator: Green LED flashes when
output signal level exceeds –20 dB below clip.
Clip Indicators: Two red LEDs, one for each
channel, illuminate when the channel’s output
is being overdriven.
Thermal Indicator: Two red LEDs, one
for each channel, illuminate when thermal
compression begins.
Input/Output
Input Connectors: XLR (one per channel),
1/4 inch (one per channel), and RCA (one per
channel). The 1/4 inch inputs can be used
as loop-thrus to distribute signal to multiple
amplifiers.
Output Connectors: Two 4-Pole Speakon
®
Output Connectors accept 2-pole or 4-pole
Speakon
®
connectors. The top Speakon
connector is wired for both channels so it can
be used for bridge-mono wiring or for stereo
wiring of two speakers to a single Speakon
connector.
One pair of back-panel binding posts per
channel; accepts banana plugs or bare wire.
(European models do not accept banana plugs.)
Protection
XLS Series amplifiers provide extensive
protection and diagnostic capabilities,
including output current limiting, DC
protection, circuit breaker, and thermal
protection.
Construction
Ventilation: Flow-through ventilation from
front to back.
Cooling: Internal heat sinks with forced-air
cooling for rapid, uniform heat dissipation.
