Power and Reliability. Power The 6XL provides 2 independent channels of amplification at 600W per channel into 70V constant-voltage and 8-ohm speaker loads safely and securely. Located on the rear of the amplifier are the Level Controls, High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter Switches, and XLR/RCA inputs for each amplifier channel.
Panel Description 6XL Front Panel 1. Status Indicators - The Status LEDs are multi-purpose indicators, one for each channel. Green - Amplifier is on and operating normally. Amber - Amplifier is in low-power consumption Sleep Mode. Red - Amplifier has protected itself due to a fault condition.
Panel Description 6XL Rear Panel 1. Speaker Terminals - Connects to speaker loads. One set for each amplifier section. Accepts up to #10 AWG wire or spade lugs for speaker system connections. 2. Ground Terminal - Provides convenient access to earth ground.
Installation Mechanical Components 1. Rack Ears - Prior to installing the amplifier into a 19" rack, you will need to attach the rack ears. Remove and save the 6 front-most cover screws on each side panel of the amplifier. Position the rack ears as shown and attach using the 6 screws. 2.
Installation Ventilation The 6XL amplifier was designed to be placed on a table or rack-mounted. For rack-mounted applica- tions, the amplifier(s) can be stacked one on top of the other for maximum use of the rack space available without any extra, empty rack spaces between them.
Connections Speakers For 70V and 8-ohm Speakers The 6XL was designed to drive 70V constant voltage and 8-ohm type speaker loads. The use of lower impedance speakers may cause the amplifier to engage its protection circuits and shut down or limit amplifier function. The speaker terminals can accept up to a #10 AWG wire or spade lug and have integral clamping plates which make wiring easier.
Front Controls and Indicators Power Switch The Power Switch is located on the front of the 6XL unit. Press the “I” side of the switch to turn the unit ON. The amplifier will begin its power-up process once turned on. The power switch is also the amplifier’s circuit breaker.
