Getting Started with the SXD Power Amplifier Setting up your SXD Series is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: Remove all packing materials (save them in case your units needs future service) and decide where the amplifier is to be physically placed—it can be used free-standing or mounted in a standard 19”...
Front Panel Callouts LED Indicators The front panel LED indicators continuously monitor the power output level for the corresponding channel. LCD Display THERMAL: Lights red whenever the thermal protection is Backlit display shows current activated setup information and navigation LIMITER: Lights red whenever the output limiter is activated through the DSP settings -20/-10: Lights whenever the output level reaches -20dB or -10dB, respectively, below the distortion or clipping...

Getting Started - DSP EQ - In Manual mode there are three EQ filters per channel. The Low frequency adjustment can be set to a Low Frequency Shelf or to a parametric equalizer (PEQ) with Frequency, Q, and Gain adjustments. The mid band is a parametric equal- izer (PEQ) with Frequency, Q, and Gain adjustments.
Presets The SXD DSP features four speaker presets that will allow you to quickly have your amplifier up and running with your speaker configuration. The presets only display the parameters that are essential to the speaker arrangement. If you require additional adjustments, all parameter adjustments are available in Manual mode.
