CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 7.5) SX-25000 DIP Switch Settings The two-channel model SX-25000 has control options for the Input sensitivity and the signal input mode of the XLR input sockets CHA and CHB. Sensitivity Switches: Select between four different input sensitivity level with the two dip switches 1 and 2. (0,775V/1,0V/1,5V/2V) Figure 7.1 shows how to select the right setting.
8.) CONNECTING 8.1) AC Mains Connection This amplifier comes with a power cord using a Neutrik Powercon® plug to connect to the amplifier and a power plug used in your country to connect to the mains. The AC mains voltage and current must be sufficient to deliver the power you need to drive this amplifier.
Figure 8.4 shows male and female XLR connector pin assignment. Pre-build or professionally wired balanced cable (two-conductor plus shield) and connectors are recommended. (Figure 8.2) Unbalanced line (Figure 8.3) may also be used but may result in noise over long cable runs. 4-acoustic Page 14 of 24 .com...
Recommended are professionally wired, high quality, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors with two or four conductors. Figure 8.5 shows the wiring with a 4-pole Speakon® connector. Figure 8.6 shows the connecting with banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire. (SX-25000 only) SHOCK HAZARD: When the amplifier is turned on and passing a signal potentially lethal voltages exist at the speaker output connectors.

9.) SYSTEM SETUP 9.8) Bridge Mode Function The SX-44000 and SX-46000 allows to set CHA/CHB and/or CHC/CHD into bridge mode. In this mode the input signal CHA and/or CHC will be internal inverted and used for the cooperating amplifier channel. The result at the output is a signal with twice the voltage of a single output in stereo or parallel mode.
