Pay attention to the channel status LEDs to avoid clipping. Lower the attenuation until sound distortion occurs, then increase the attenuation slightly until any distortion disappears. This setting ensures that no clipping occurs, whatever the source device volume setting. XPA Ultra FX Series Power Amplifiers • Operation...
400 watts. For example if channel 1 has four speakers attached to it, each tapped at 64 watts, for a total of 256 watts, that leaves 144 watts (400-256) available to channel 2. XPA Ultra FX Series Power Amplifiers • Operation...
