3. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a new ELXA Series professional power amplifier, and thank you for your confidence in products. You are among the growing number of audio professionals one of the world’s leading suppliers of professional and who have made commercial/industrial audio systems.
Two front panel mounting holes are provided on each mounting ear. 2. Fan Outlet Grills ELXA Series amplifiers are cooled by two rear-mounted fans. Cool air flows over the heat sinks and exhausts through the back grills. Make sure these outlets remain clean to allow unrestricted air flow.
4.1. Rear Side 10. Output Connectors These have two functions, on is binding post, the other is speakon. Connection to the binding post can be made with bare wire, banana plugs, or spade lug terminations. Make connections to both the channel A and channel B terminals for Stereo or Parallel Mode. Using speakon- type speaker cables, make connections to both the channel A and channel B connectors for Stereo of Parallel mode.
5.3. Connecting Inputs Use either the XLR or ¼“ input connectors on the rear to supply audio signals to your ELXA Series amplifier. Both connectors accept balanced and unbalanced audio connections. (The ELXA Series amplifiers are configured standard with „Pin 2 hot“...
amplifiers are configured with “Pin 3 hot”). The unused connector can be used to jumper the audio input to another amplifier input. 5.4. Connecting Outputs Speakers are connected using 5-way Output Binding Post or Speakon connector, depending on version supplied. Please note that on the 5-way Output Binding Post version of the ELXA, two pairs of 5-way binding posts are provided for each channel, so that paralleling of speakers is possible.
Connecting amplifier outputs to oscilloscopes or other test equipment while the amplifier is in bridged mode may damage both the amplifier and test equipment!!! 6.4. Stereo Mode Connections 6.5. Parallel Mode Connections 10 / 17...
6.6. Bridged Mono Mode Connections 7. LX Clip Limitting At the amplifier’s full power limit, or clipping point, LX will be activated. This is indicated by an illumination of the Limiter LED. The channel gain is automatically reduced, protecting the loudspeakers from potential damage from the high power, continuous square waves that would otherwise be produced.
LRS Short Circuit Protection If an output is shorted (i.e. defective speakers or crossed speaker wires) the LRS will automatically protect the amplifier. The load will be disconnected by the thermal protection circuitry (output relay opens) and the amplifier will be shut down. Please remove the short circuit and switch on the amplifier again to restart the amplifier.
