AUXILIARY OUTPUT SECTION

The auxiliary outputs offer ORION amplifiers easy unlimited system expansion . Routing signal from a source unit, pre-amplifier or equalizer is a matter of routing RCAs into the RCA Inputs and out the AUX outputs to the next XTREME or HCCA amplifier in the signal chain. When the switch is in the “COPY” position, the AUX RCA is an identical copy of the RCA inputs. The signal passes through a buffer stage so that an infinite number of HCCA amplifiers can be daisy chained without signal loss or overloading of the source unit. This maximizes the amplifier output and minimizes the potential for system noise.

When the switch is in the “GAIN” position, the AUX RCAs are buffered through the gain stage of the amplifier. When the first amplifier in the signal chain is set this way, a remote gain controller can be installed in the amplifier and act as a “PRE- AMP” controlling the overall level of the system. Following amplifiers can be con- figured in either the “COPY” or “MASTER” configuration for an infinite number of XTREME or HCCA amplifiers in the signal chain without signal loss or overload- ing of the source unit. This maximizes the amplifier output and minimizes the poten- tial for system noise.

When the switch is in the “MASTER” position, the AUX RCA are buffered through the gain stage of the amplifier and filtered through the crossover section of the amplifier. When set this way, one amplifier’s gain and crossover setting can be sent to other amplifier down the signal chain. This can be useful for configuring mul- tiple subwoofer amplifiers easily in a large SPL system. A Remote gain controller will also control the level of all the amplifiers following the amplifier configured in this master setting. An infinite number of XTREME or HCCA amplifiers in the sig- nal chain without signal loss or overloading of the source unit. This maximizes the amplifier output and minimizes the potential for system noise.
