Speaker Outputs - XML410

The XML410 contains two mono power amplifiers, and depending on the operating mode, the two amplifiers can be
used independently (maximum output 200W + 200W) or in BRIDGE mode (maximum output 400W).
NOTE: Use the front panel Power Amp MODE switch to select which signal is sent to the speaker output jacks, and to
activate BRIDGE mode.
If the two power amplifiers are used for MAINS operation, two 8 Ohm speakers can be "daisy-chained" together and con-
nected to the AMP 1 jack, and two more 8 Ohm speakers can be "daisy-chained" together and connected to the AMP 2
jack, for a total of four speakers.
The total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms. Therefore, in the example above, two speakers with
an impedance of 8 Ohms each are connected to each amp's output jacks.
If you wish to use two amplifiers independently, let's say for Main and Monitor operation, use a 4–8 Ohm speaker. Again,
the total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms. Therefore, two speakers with an impedance of 8
Ohms can be "daisy-chained" together and then connected to each amp's output jacks.
If two amplifiers are used in a BRIDGE mode, only one speaker can be connected to the BRIDGE jack. The total impedance
load while operating in BRIDGE mode must not be less than 8 Ohms. If you are connecting a speaker to the BRIDGE jack,
use an 8–16 Ohm speaker.
CAUTION: When using a BRIDGE connection, do not connect anything to the AMP 1 and AMP 2 jacks. Likewise, when us-
ing the AMP 1 and AMP 2 jacks, do not connect anything to the BRIDGE jack.
44. AMP 1 Speaker Outputs - The AMP 1 output has one 1/4" phone connector, which is a powered output used to con-
nect your main PA speaker when using the XML410 in MAIN/MAIN mode. When operating in MAIN/MONITOR mode,
the AMP 1 powered output connectors are used to connect left and right side MAIN PA speakers.
45. AMP 2 Speaker Outputs - The AMP 2 output has one 1/4" phone connector, which is a powered output used to con-
nect your main PA speaker when using the XML410 in MAIN/MAIN mode. When operating in MAIN/MONITOR mode,
the AMP 2 powered output connectors are used to connect to floor or side fill monitors facing the performers.
46. BRIDGE Output connector - The BRIDGE output has one 1/4" phone connector, which is a powered output used to
connect one main PA speaker when using the XM410 in BRIDGE mode.
