independent sources, PARALLEL mode in which a monaural source drives both channels, and BRIDGE mode in
which the two internal amps function as a single high-power mono amp.
• Balanced XLR connector and Euroblock connector inputs, and Speakon connector and five-way binding post
outputs are provided.
• A high pass filter switch that enables selection of the cutoff frequency (20Hz or 55Hz).
• Signal indicator, clip indicator and sophisticated dB step Volume control are provided for each channel.
• A PROTECTION indicator that shows the state of various protection systems (power on/off detection, output
protection, DC detection), a TEMP indicator that indicates heat sink overheating, and a POWER/STANDBY
indicator that indicates the power status.
• Variable-speed low-noise fans ensure high reliability.
• The XP7000 enables parallel connection of multiple high-impedance speakers that support 70V line output.
• The XP3500 enables parallel connection of multiple high-impedance speakers that support 100 V line output.
