Typical input and output wiring is shown in Figure 3.7.

INPUTS: Use a custom “Y” adapter cable, wired to split the signal and invert the polarity for the Channel 2 amplifi er input as shown in Figure 3.8. We recommend you label the ends of the Y adapter to help make sure to connect the correct end to each amplifi er input.

Connect the Y adapter between the signal source and each amplifi er input.

NOTE: Crown provides a reference of wiring pin assignments for commonly used connector types in the Crown Amplifier Application Guide (Section 1.21.) available at www.crownaudio.

OUTPUTS: Connect the speaker across the red binding post of each channel. Do not use the black binding posts when the amp is being operated in Bridge-Mono mode.

NOTE: The Channel 1 and 2 level con- trols MUST be set to identical settings when operating the XLS amplifier in Bridge-Mono mode.
