XM410 Input and Output Connections

EXTERNAL OUTPUT JACKS

The XM410 features several output connectors allowing you to interface a variety of external devices. A stereo
recording device such as a cassette recorder can be connected to the REC OUT jacks, and additional power
amplifiers can be connected to the MONITOR and MAIN output jacks.
REC OUT - Record Output
7
The signal present at this connector is the MAIN bus signal before it has passed through the MASTER level
control and graphic equalizer. The nominal output level is -10dBV and the impedance is 100 Ohms.
8
MAIN OUT - PRE OUT MIX OUTPUT
The signal present at this connector is the MAIN bus signal, which has passed through the MAIN/ MASTER
level control and the graphic equalizer. The nominal output level is +4dBu and the impedance is 100 Ohms.
9
MONITOR OUT - AUX 1 SEND
The MONITOR bus signal is present at this connector. The signal is passed through the MONITOR /MASTER
level control and graphic equalizer before it reaches the MONITOR OUT connector. The nominal output level
is +4dBu and the impedance is 100 Ohms.
REAR PANEL
The XM410 contains two mono power amplifiers and depending on the operating mode, the two amplifiers
can be used independently (maximum output 200W + 200W) or in BRIDGE mode (maximum output 400W).
NOTE:
Use the front panel MODE switch to select which signal is sent to the speaker output jacks, and to activate
BRIDGE mode.
If the two power amplifiers are used for MAINS operation, two 8 ohm speakers can be "daisy-chained" together and
connected to the AMP 1 jack, and two more 8 ohm speakers can be "daisy-chained" together and connected to the
AMP 2 jack, for a total of four speakers. See the diagram on page 11.
The total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms, therefore in the example above, two speak-
ers with an impedance of 8 ohms each are connected to each amp's output jacks.
If you wish to use two amplifiers independently, let's say for Main and Monitor operation, use a 4 through 8 Ohm
speaker. Again, the total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohm. Therefore two speakers with
an impedance of 8 ohms can be "daisy-chained" together and then connected to each amp's output jacks.
If the two amplifiers are used in a BRIDGE mode, only one speaker can be connected to the BRIDGE jack. The total
impedance load while operating in Bridge mode must not be less than 8 Ohms.
If you are connecting a speaker to the BRIDGE jack, use an 8 through 16 Ohm speaker.
CAUTION:
When using a bridge connection, do not connect anything to the AMP 1 and AMP 2 jacks. Likewise,
when using the POWER AMP 1 and POWER AMP 2 jacks, do not connect anything to the BRIDGE jack.
