Emotiva XPA-1 - Manual (Page 14)

6. Balanced/Unbalanced Input Selection Switch – When the switch is turned towards ‘Un‐Bal’, the RCA (unbalanced) input is
chosen and active. When the switch is turned towards ‘Bal’, the XLR/Balanced input is chosen and active.
7. XLR/Balanced Audio Input – Connects to the XLR/Balanced output of a preamplifier or processor.
8. Positive Speaker Terminals – These 5 way binding posts accept stripped speaker wire, banana plugs, or spade connectors.
Be sure to observe correct polarity when connecting speakers and be sure that the wires do not touch between positive and
negative terminals. Both positive speaker terminals are electrically the same. When connecting a single speaker, connect
the positive terminal on the speaker to either positive terminal on the amplifier. When bi-wiring a speaker, connect each
positive speaker wire to one of the positive speaker terminals on the XPA-1.
Note: Potentially lethal voltages present! Never connect, disconnect or change speaker wiring with the amplifier turned on.
9. IEC Power Cable Connection
10. Master Power Switch ‐ This rocker switch provides the master power for the amplifier. After it is in the ON position, the
amplifier can be turned on manually from the front panel switch or automatically with the trigger input via 3.5mm input jack.
Under normal use, this switch should remain on, leaving the amplifier in standby position, and coming to full power with
either the front panel ‘STANDBY’ button, or activation through the remote trigger. In ‘STANDBY’ mode the power button will
emit an amber glow, but the unit is not fully powered. A small amount of power is used in this mode, less than an average
night light would use. If you are away for an extended period of time (more than a few days), shut off all power to the
amplifier with the main power switch on the back of the amplifier.
11. Voltage Indicator – All Emoitva amplifiers operate on either 115V or 230V. The voltage is detected when the amplifier is
turned on, and is identified by the indicator lights. There are no user adjustments, the amplifier automatically adjusts to the
voltage.
