Introduction This section gives an overview of the Extron XPA Ultra Series: XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB Half-Rack Four-Channel/Two-Channel audio power amplifiers. Topics include: About this Guide • About the XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB •...
— The XPA U 1004 SB and the XPA U 2002 SB do not have internal fans or • vents for cooling, ensuring quiet reliable operation. The units generate substantially less heat than conventional power amplifiers, making the XPA Ultra Series ideal for rack-mount applications where space is limited. Rack Mounting Ventilation Recommendations on page 7.

The XPA U 1004 SB and XPA U 2002 SB ships with a bridge plate connector to allow two amplifiers to be connected together and form a full rack-width unit. Mount two XPA Ultra Series amplifiers by doing the following: If the rubber feet are installed on the bottom of the amplifier, remove them.
Mounting screws (4) Figure 3. Installing XPA Ultra Series Bridge Plate Insert the amplifiers into the rack and align the holes in the rack ears with the holes in the rack. Secure the amplifiers to the rack using four provided 10-32 3/4” screws (see figure 4,...

Set the source device volume to the maximum level. No sound should come out. Raise the attenuation on the XPA Ultra Series amplifier until sound distortion occurs, then lower the attenuation level slowly until distortion disappears. This setting ensures no clipping occurs, whatever the source device volume setting is.

WARNING: AVERTISSEMENT : • Do not tie channel output pins to each other or to ground. Doing so will short out the outputs, damage the amplifier, or both. • Ne pas lier les sorties 1 et 2 des canaux entre elles ou à la terre. Les sorties pourraient être court-circuitées et/ou l’amplificateur pourrait être endommagé.
