inPut section
The XD600/1’s input section allows
you to send signal to the amplifier section
through the use of two differential-
balanced inputs, one for the left channel
signal and one for the right channel signal.
Connection is via RCA-type jacks.
You may run a stereo or a mono signal into
the inputs of the amplifier. The amplifier’s input
section automatically sums stereo signals to mono
for the internal amplifier section. The amplifier
will operate with only one input connection (left
or right), but will require an increase in input
sensitivity to overcome the loss of signal. If a
mono input signal is to be run, we recommend
that you use a “Y-adaptor” to split the mono
signal into both inputs of the amplifier.
input Voltage range:
The XD600/1’s input section is designed to
accept signal voltages from 100mV – 4V. This
will accommodate all preamp level signals and
many speaker level signals.
To use speaker-level sources, simply splice the
speaker output wires of the source unit onto a
pair of RCA plugs for each input pair. (or use
JL Audio part XD-CLRAIC2-SW) No “line
output converter” is needed in most cases.
If you find that the output cannot be reduced
sufficiently with a direct speaker level signal
applied to the amplifier, you may use a “line
output converter” or voltage divider to reduce the
signal level.
inPut sensitiVitY controls
The control labeled “Input Sens.” can be used
to match the source unit’s output voltage to the
input stage the XD600/1 for maximum clean
output. Rotating the control clockwise will result
in higher sensitivity (louder for a given input
voltage). Rotating the control counter-clockwise
will result in lower sensitivity (quieter for a given
input voltage.)
To properly set the amplifier for maximum
clean output, please refer to Appendix A (
page
12 ) in this manual. After using this procedure,
you can then adjust the “Input Sens.” levels
downward if this is required to achieve the
desired system balance.
Do not increase any “Input Sens.” setting for
any channel(s) of any amplifier in the system
beyond the maximum level established during
the procedure outlined in Appendix A (page 12).
Doing so will result in audible distortion and
possible speaker damage.
