Performance

• Sensitivity (for full rated power at 4 ohms): 1.25 Vrms.
• Frequency Response (at 1 watt, 22 Hz to 20 kHz): +0 dB, –1 dB.
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (20 Hz to 20 kHz, inputs terminated): A-weighted, below rated power: > 100 dB. No weighting, below rated power: > 95 dB.
• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): < 0.5%.
• Intermodulation Distortion (IMD): (60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1) from full rated output to –40 dB: < 0.3%.
• Damping Factor (8 ohm) 10 Hz to 400 Hz: >200.
• Crosstalk (below rated power): at 1 kHz: –75 dB. at 20 kHz: –59 dB.
• Input Impedance (nominal): 20 kilohms balanced, 10 kilohms unbalanced.
• Load Impedance: 2 to 8 ohms per channel in Stereo, 4 to 8 ohms in Bridge Mono.
• AC Line Voltage and Frequency Confi gurations Available (±10%): 120 VAC 60Hz, 100 VAC 50/60 Hz, 220 VAC 50 Hz, and 230-240 VAC.

Controls

• Level: Two front-panel rotary level controls, one for each channel.
• Power: Front-panel switch; on when in the IN position.
• Circuit Breaker: Back-panel breaker provides overload protection.
• Mode Switch: Back-panel switch selects Dual or Bridge-Mono mode.

Indicators

• Signal Presence Indicators: Two green LEDs, one for each channel, illuminate when the channel’s input signal exceeds –40 dBu.
• Clip Indicators: Two red LEDs, one for each channel, illuminate when the channel’s output is being overdriven.
• Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates amplifier has been turned on and AC power is available.
• Fault Indicator: Two red LEDs, one for each channel, illuminate whenamplifier is in protect mode. Also illuminates briefl y during normal power-upwhen amplifier is first switched on.

Input/Output

• Input Connectors: One per channel; back-panel three-pin female XLR input connectors.
• Output Connectors: Two 4-Pole Speakon® Output Connectors accept 2-pole or4-pole Speakon® connectors. The top Speakon connector is wired for bothchannels so it can be used for bridge-mono wiring or for stereo wiring of twospeakers to a single Speakon connector.
  One pair of back-panel bindingposts per channel; accepts banana plugs or bare wire. (European models do notaccept banana plugs.)

Protection

• XLS Series amplifiers provide extensive protection and diagnosticcapabilities, including output current limiting, DC protection, circuitbreaker, and thermal protection.

Construction

• Ventilation: Flow-through ventilation from front to back.
• Cooling: Internal heat sinks with forced-air cooling for rapid, uniform heat dissipation.
• Air Volume Requirements (per minute per unit): 80.15 ft³ (2.27 m³).
• Dimensions (W x H x D): 19" x 5.25" x 15.5"
• Weight: 62 lbs net; 74 lbs shipping
