Speaker connection

Only speakers with low impedance (4 to 16Ω) can be connected to the SPEAKERS CH-1/2 terminals. Speakers of high or low impedance can be connected to the SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminals by setting the SYSTEM TYPE selector.

The SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminals are factory-set so that the speakers with high impedance can be connected.

To connect high-impedance speakers to the SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminals

Set the SYSTEM TYPE selector to “1” or “4.”

Or, set the SYSTEM TYPE selector to “0” and use the SRP-X500P Manager software to make setting.

When one of the settings above is made, the output from the SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminals becomes monaural. Connect the (+) terminal of the speaker to the (+) (red) SPEAKERS CH-3 terminal and connect the (–) terminal of the speaker to the (+) (red) SPEAKERS CH-4 terminal.

To connect low-impedance speakers to the SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminals

Set the SYSTEM TYPE selector to “2,” “5,” “6,” “7,” “8,” or “9.”

Or, set the SYSTEM TYPE selector to “0” and use the SRP-X500P Manager software to make setting. Connect the speakers as shown in the following figure.

The following table shows the number of speakers that can be connected when the SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminals are set for high-impedance speakers.

Selection of system type

From 9 preset patterns provided on the SRP-X500P, it is possible to choose the speaker system type that corresponds with the AV system being used. The preset pattern can be selected by using the SYSTEM TYPE selector (1 to 9).

Each preset pattern includes the following:

•MIC INPUT Low Cut Filter

•ROUTING

•DELAY

•INPUT MUTING

•OUTPUT MUTING

•OUTPUT LINK

•COMPRESSOR

•SPEAKERS CH-3/4 terminal status (70V LINE or Lo. Imp)

•REMOTE FADER

Details on each preset pattern are given below:
