Operation Refer to the following sections for instructions on operating the AMP-X500, AMP-X750, and AMP-X1000. NOTE: The only operational difference between the three models is the number of channels and the maximum wattage of the power supply. AMP-X500: 2 Channels, 500 W. AMP-X750: 3 Channels, 750 W.
Output Mode Each amplifier channel has its own OUTPUT MODE rotary dial. Use the dial to select an output mode for that channel from the following options: Lo-Z modes: 4-8Ω 250 W: The output supplies up to 250 W to a low-impedance (4Ω or 8Ω) connected load.
WARNING: This amplifier is capable of delivering high power to the loudspeakers. Please use caution and adequate ear protection if listening to content at high volume levels, as continued exposure to high sound pressure levels can cause permanent hearing impairment or loss.
