• Speaker level input. • Low profile construction with aluminum heat sink for efficient heat dissipation. The Clarion XN3410 is a full featured, four-channel amplifier adding the following feature: • Advanced circuitry design featuring bridgeable and mixed mode operation for use in various system configurations including 4, 3, or 2 channel systems.
DESCRIPTION The XN3210 and XN3410 use an unregulated MOSFET power supply for supe- rior sound and output wattage. In addition, a toroid-coil is used to transfer power with minimal performance loss due to heat. To avoid unwanted noise, a double- sided conformal printed circuit board with strategically placed components keeps AM RFI subdued.

This is especially useful in high-powered systems. (Uses CH2 and CH4 inputs.) CH1/2 Mono / CH3/4 Mono: Allows for a stereo input to be summed into a mono output.
INSTALLATION This section suggests Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion XN3210 and/or XN3410 amplifier(s). If you do not posses the necessary tools and installation experience, do not attempt to install these amplifiers. Instead, contact your local Clarion Marine Audio dealer to perform the installation.

4. Slowly increase the Gain Control. Stop when you hear a slight distortion of audio. SETTING THE CROSSOVER The Clarion XN3210 and XN3410 feature fully adjustable high and low pass crossovers. To set the crossover, follow these steps. 1. Using the X-Over Mode Switch, select the desired mode: LP for Low Pass, HP for High Pass or OFF for Full Range.
Speakers not connected or are blown. Check speaker connections at amplifier, measure coil impedance. Problem Audio cycles on and off. Solution Thermal protection circuits are shutting amplifier off. Check location for adequate ventilation; consult an authorized Clarion dealer. XN3210/XN3410 XN3210_3410 manual_060410 R2.ind18 18 9/3/2010 8:49:31 AM...
Problem Distorted audio. Solution Gain is not set properly, or damaged speaker cones. Review Setting Gain; inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage (i.e. frozen cone, burning smell, etc.) Problem Audio lacks punch. Solution Speakers wired incorrectly, which causes cancellation of bass frequencies. Check polarity of wires from amplifier to each speaker as defined by the system design.
