XPA-200

Configuration and Operation

Line Voltage

The XPA-200 can operate from line voltages of 115 VAC +/- 10% or 230 VAC +/- 10%. The 

amplifier will automatically detect which line voltage it is connected to and configure itself 

accordingly. The Line Voltage indicators will tell you which line voltage the XPA-200 has 

detected.

AC Power Switch (rear panel)

The rear-panel AC Power switch controls the main AC power for your XPA-200. When this 

switch is in the Off position, the amplifier will not operate. Turning it On will put the XPA-200 

into Standby mode. 

Standby Switch (front panel push button)

Press to switch the amplifier On; press again to return to Standby; the halo ring around the 

button illuminates amber for Standby and blue for On. 

Un-Balanced / Balanced Selector Switch

Switches between the Unbalanced (RCA) and Balanced (XLR) inputs for both channels. 

Up selects the Unbalanced inputs and Down selects the Balanced inputs. Only one type of 

input is active at once. (It is allowed to plug in both balanced and unbalanced sources and 

use the switch to select between them, but only one will be active at once.)

Status LED Switch

Disables the front panel status LEDs when set to Off.

Trigger

When a trigger cable is connected to the Trigger Input (on the rear panel), and a trigger 

signal is received (between 5-20 V - AC or DC), the XPA-200 will switch from Standby to 

On; when the trigger signal ceases, the XPA-200 will return to Off. 

The trigger is typically connected to the preamp or pre/pro that provides a signal source for 

the XPA-200, and set to turn the XPA-200 on when the preamp or pre/pro is turned on.  

Whenever the XPA-200 is On, the Trigger Output will assert a 12 VDC signal, which may be 

used to turn on other equipment.
