INPUT CONNECTIONS

Using good quality co-axial audio leads, connect the left and right outputs from your pre-amplifier or other controlled source to either A or B RCA inputs.

CONNECTIONS

All input, output and power connections should be made with the mains power switched OFF.

OUTPUTOUTPUT

These RCA sockets have “line level” audio “loop” output routed from either A or B input by the selector switch on the front panel.

They are for onward connection to another amplifier if required.

(See page 6 under BI-AMPLIFICATION).

The X-P200 is a stereo amplifier, but can instead be used in “bridge” mode to obtain a single (mono) output with higher power.

However, do not attempt both speaker connection methods at the same time.

Conventional stereo use :

Connect each of your loudspeakers to the pair of terminals on the back panel marked LEFT and RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT. The wiring must be “in phase”, namely, the red (+) and black (-) terminals must be connected to the left and right speakers the same way round.

Bridge mode :

Connect a single (mono) loudspeaker between LEFT and RIGHT red (+) terminals only

Note that in this mode, the right-hand channel red terminal becomes negative (-) for phasing purposes. This is important for maintaining correct phase with any other amplifier being used in your audio system.

Important :

*The load impedance must not be less than 4 ohms.

*Do not make any earth connection to the speaker terminals.
