There are four three‑pin Euro-style connectors labeled 1 through 4 providing the audio inputs on the CXD Amplifiers. A single input can be mixed to
one or a combination of outputs. You can use from one to four of the inputs. The inputs
			EN
are 10 kΩ balanced or unbalanced, with a sensitivity of either +4­or +14 dBu.

1. Make sure your audio source devices are powered off.

2. Connect the input source wires to the Euro-style connectors as shown. (Figure 11 and Figure 12)

3.	The CXD Series has the capability of routing the inputs to different outputs. Be sure that
	the connections you make here match the configuration of the amplifier.	+ -

USB (Optional)

The USB cable (supplied) connects to a Mac or PC for use with the Amplifier Navigator	— Figure 13 —
software. You can update the amplifier firmware, save and deploy configuration files, and
more. Refer to the Amplifier Navigator online help for details.

GPIO/Heartbeat

There are two 3.5 mm Euro-style connectors on the rear of the amplifier.

•Heartbeat — The heartbeat output supplies a square wave signal of 1 Hz @ 3.3 V. This signal can connect to a life-safety system to monitor the go/no-go condition of the amplifier. The amplifier must be completely incapable of producing output for the heartbeat signal to stop. A missing heartbeat alerts the life-safety system of the disabled condition. A user-initiated condition such as muting the outputs, placing the amplifier in Standby mode, or placing the amplifier in Mute All mode, does not stop the heartbeat.

•GPO — The functionality of this general purpose output pin has not been determined as of the release of this document.

•GPI — This input is used to put the amplifier into Standby from a remote location. When the GPI is enabled in the Utilities menu, then is shorted to ground, the amplifier goes into the Standby mode. The front-panel power button is disabled when GPI is enabled.
