ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The C51 powers 200 and 300 Series Remote
Active installation loudspeakers.
It features active line-level crossovers, switched
balanced and unbalanced inputs, and employs
a powerful new amplifier design which enables
multiple channels of high-level amplification
to be combined in a compact unit without
excessiveheat.
Tenchannelsofapproximately100Winto
8Ω (160W into 4Ω) RMS amplification are
provided, grouped into five pairs, each
providing bass and tweeter outputs from a
full-range input.
The crossovers take the form of plug-in
modules which can be inserted at the time
of installation to configure the unit for the
speakers in use. An appropriate card is
supplied with each loudspeaker. Modules are
currently available for the A320, A330 and
A350, and each module includes a pair of
LEDs that confirm the positive and negative
power-rails are operative and identifies the
crossover installed by means of the colour
combination.
Thermal, short-circuit and DC fault protection
circuitry is included. The C51 has soft start, fan
output and trigger input.
The front panel includes five sockets for
installation of the crossover cards, which can
be accessed by unscrewing the transparent
smoked access cover.
Front-panel indicators take the form of blue
LEDs for main power and for each channel,
arranged in high/low pairs so that the status
can be instantly assessed.
The rear panel is divided into five channel
pairs identified as HF (tweeter) and LF (bass).
A single full-range input per channel pair
may be switch-selected between unbalanced
(gold-plated phono connector) and balanced
(XLR3F).
In addition to the power input socket and
power switch, the rear panel also offers a
3.5mm jack socket for connection of an
industry standard trigger input (5–30V, AC or
DC) for remote operation, and a 3.5mm jack
socket for the connection of a 12V DC fan
system. This output is controlled automatically
according to temperature.
