X-P200 Power Amplifier Page 3 of 7 Page 6 of 7 X-P200 Power Amplifier INTRODUCTION Your X-P200 can be connected either as a conventional stereo amplifier, or alternatively in bridge mode as a mono amplifier with higher output power - see page 4 and 5 for connection details. It is intended for use with a pre-amplifier or similar audio level source with a volume control. We highly recommend the matching X-Pre preamplifier also available from Musical Fidelity. Two stereo pairs of RCA audio input sockets marked A and B on the rear panel allow a choice between either of these input sources. Simultaneous mixed A and Boperation is not possible. Whichever input is chosen, a fixed line level audio output from the selected source is available from the adjacent OUTPUTRCA sockets for onward connection to another amplifier. This is to allow for bi-amplification (see below). BI-AMPLIFICA TION The X-P200s OUTPUTsockets allow bi- amplification of a speaker system using suitable external amplifiers and crossover networks. This enables the speaker drive units to be powered separately, giving noticeable improvement in clarity, imaging and bass weight. In this arrangement, typically one X-P200 is used to drive the tweeter (high frequencies), and another to drive the woofer (low frequencies) of each loudspeaker enclosure. Thus, two X-P200s would be needed for a stereo pair, or four in bridge mode. (continued) . . . If in doubt about bi-amplification, please contact your dealer for advice. BEFORE SWITCHING ON . . . . Plug the accessory IEC mains lead into the rear panel socket, then the other end into a wall outlet. Turn the volume control on your pre- amplifier to minimum. OPERA TION Press the POWERbutton on the X-P200 amplifier - the blue power LED on the front panel will light indicating that the unit is ready for use. However, for about six seconds no sound will be heard from your speakers, and the red mute LED will be lit, confirming initial mute action. Press the INPUTselector button on the front panel to switch between Aand Binput as required. A corresponding blue LED above the button will light to confirm your selection. Now adjust the volume control on your pre- amplifier to obtain the preferred sound level. If bridge loudspeaker operation is required, press the MODEbutton on the front panel to switch over to this function. A corresponding blue LED above the button will light to indicate which system is in use. Press the MODEbutton again to revert to normal stereo. Please note that if STEREOmode is accidently selected with the speakers wired for bridge operation, sound will be distorted, and lack bass. Similarly, if switched to BRIDGEmode with speakers wired for stereo operation, sound quality will OPERATION FACILITIES (see page 6) X- P 20 0 MODE INPUT Power indicator LED (blue) Power on/off push- button switch Loudspeaker mode push-button switch Input mode push-button switch Mute indicator LED (red) Input indicator LEDs (blue) Loudspeaker mode indicator LEDs (blue)
