INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROL The control labeled “Input Sens.” can be used to match the source unit’s output voltage to the input stage of the amplifier for maximum clean output. Rotating the control clockwise will result in higher sensitivity (louder for a given input voltage). Rotating the control counter-clockwise will result in lower sensitivity (quieter for a given input voltage.) To properly set the amplifier for maximum clean output, please refer to Appendix A (page 12) in this

For this reason, most speaker systems are configured as a high-pass or low-pass filter comprised of multiple speakers, each dedicated type, or defeated completely by way of the to reproducing a specific frequency range. Filters three-position “Filter Mode” switch: are used to select which freq

REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (OPTIONAL) PREOUTS The XD200/2 incorporates a pass-through preamp output section, so that additional amplifiers can be easily added to the system. The preamp output delivers the same signal that is connected to the Amplifier Inputs. This can be useful for feeding a subwoofer amplifier when the XD200/2 is being used to drive front speaker systems. With the addition of the optional Remote Note: The preamp output signal is not affected by Level Control (HD-RLC), you

The only condition that will shut down an undamaged XD200/2 completely is if battery voltage or remote turn-on voltage drops below 10 volts. The “Status LED” will turn off when this occurs. The amplifier will turn back on when voltage climbs back above 11 volts.

It is possible for a fuse to have poor internal connections that cannot be found by visual inspection. It is best to take the fuse out of the holder for testing. If no problem is found with the fuse, i

“My amplifier shuts off once in a while, usually at higher volumes.” Check y our voltage source and grounding point. The power supply of the XD200/2 will operate with charging system voltages down to 10V. Shutdown problems at higher volume levels can occur when the charging system voltage (or remote turn- on voltage) momentarily drops below 10V. These dips can be of very short duration making them extremely difficult to detect with a common DC voltmeter. To ensure proper voltage, inspect
