3.7 Wire Your System

3.7.1 Stereo Mode

Typical input and output wiring is shown in
Figure 3.6.
INPUTS: Connect input wiring for both
channels.
OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity (+/-) on
output connectors.
Connect Channel 1 positive (+) speaker load
to Channel 1 positive (red) terminal of amp;
repeat for negative (-). Repeat Channel 2 wiring
as for Channel 1.

3.7.2 Bridge-Mono Mode

Typical input and output wiring is shown in
Figure 3.7.
INPUTS: Use a custom "Y" adapter cable,
wired to split the signal and invert the polarity
for the Channel 2 amplifi er input as shown in
Figure 3.8. We recommend you label the ends
of the Y adapter to help make sure to connect
the correct end to each amplifi er input.
Connect the Y adapter between the signal
source and each amplifi er input.
NOTE: Crown provides a reference of wiring
pin assignments for commonly used connector
types in the Crown Amplifi er Application Guide
(Section 1.21.) available at www.crownaudio.
OUTPUTS: Connect the speaker across the red
binding post of each channel. Do not use the
black binding posts when the amp is being
operated in Bridge-Mono mode.
NOTE: The Channel 1 and 2 level con-
trols MUST be set to identical settings
when operating the XLS amplifi er in
Bridge-Mono mode.
