Page 4: Introduction
Bogen's Black Max™ amplifiers deliver on what professional sound installers need most: Power and Reliability. Power With three different models (X600, X450, and X300), the Black Max series provides 2 independent channels of amplification at 600W, 450W, and 300W per channel into 70V constant voltage speaker loads safely and secure- ly. -
Page 5: Panel Descriptions
These indicators illuminate amber when excessive signal levels or very low impedance output loads cause out- put distortion to exceed a few percent Under such conditions, a built-in Clip/Limiting circuit activates and reduces input signal levels to protect both amplifier and speaker loads. One for each channel. 4. Power Switch/Circuit Breaker Magnetic circuit breaker controls AC power to the amplifier. -

8. Ground Terminal Provides convenient access to earth ground. 9. Speaker Terminals Connects to 70V constant voltage speaker loads. One set for each amplifier section. Accepts up to #10 AWG wire or spade lugs for speaker system connections. 10. Fan Exhausts Cooling air outlets for independent, variable speed cooling fans. -

Installation Mechanical Components 1. Rack Ears Prior to installing the amplifier in to 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. -
Page 8: Table Mounting
Ventilation The Black Max amplifiers were designed to be placed on a table or rack-mounted. For rack-mounted applica- tions, the amplifiers can be stacked one on top of the other for maximum use of the rack space available with- out any extra, empty rack spaces between them. An open air space of at least 4"... -
Page 9: Connections
The speaker terminals can accept up to a #10 AWG wire or spade lug and have integral clamping plates which make wiring easier. The polarity of each set of speaker out- puts (A & B) is indicated with a "+" and "-" sign. Use these indica- tors to ensure that the phasing of the speakers are correct. -
Page 10: Sequential Turn-On
Sequential Turn-On Operation Black Max amplifiers contain a sequential turn-on feature that is designed to turn on a bank of Black Max ampli- fiers, one at a time, in sequence with approximately 1 second between each amplifier. This type of sequencing of power is necessary in large systems where the in-rush current of all the system amplifiers turning on at once would overload the AC mains supplying the system. -
Page 11: Operation
LIMIT - When illuminated, it indicates a condition in which the ampli- fier is limiting and automatically reducing signal level to reduce the overload condition. Limiting is a result of speaker load impedances that are too low or input signals that are too high, which drive the outputs beyond their operational ranges. - Page 12 Sleep Switch The Black Max amplifier includes a sleep mode feature that greatly reduces the power consumption of the amplifier after it has been idle (no audio activity) for more than 3 minutes. Any audio activity present at the input will power up the amplifier instantaneously and noiseless- ly, so that there is no loss of audio.The Sleep Switch is located on the rear of the unit.The sleep feature is activated by setting the switch to the AUTO position.
