EN55103-2 (Immunity)
EN60065, Class I (Safety)
2.1 User’s liability
• Damages to the loudspeaker systems
Always check the peak and continuous power of the loudspeak-
ers. This amplifier is extremely powerful and can be potentially
dangerous both to the loudspeakers and to persons. Most loud-
speakers may be easily damaged or broken, especially by ampli-
fiers operating in bridge. Even if there is a gain reduction through
the attenuators on the amplifier’s front panel, it is still possible to
reach the maximum output power if the input signal level is high
enough.
• Dangerous output voltage
The amplifier can generate hazardous output voltage. Do not
touch exposed cables of loudspeakers with the amplifier in op-
eration.
• Radio interferences
A sample of this product has been tested and approved to meet
the requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(EMC). These requirements have been defined so as to provide
reasonable protection against dangerous interference of electri-
cal equipment. Whenever this product has not been installed or
handled according to these guidelines, it might interfere with other
equipment such as radio receivers. However, there is no guaran-
tee that they should not occur in a specific installation. Should
this equipment interfere with transceiver equipment (such possi-
bility can be checked by switching on and off the device), the user
should try to cancel the interference by observing one or more of
the following measures:
- increase the distance between the device and the receiver;
- connect the device to a plug linked to a different circuit from the
one to which the receiver is connected;
- redirect or move the receiver’s antenna;
- make sure that the unit concerned conforms to the EMC immu-
nity limits (CE-labelled). All electrical equipment sold in the EC
should be approved concerning the protection against electro-
magnetic fields, high tension and radio interference;
- contact qualified personnel.
3. Introduction
Congratulations for choosing X-Treme Digital Technology
Series amplifiers and thank you for trusting us and our products.
All the X-Treme amplifiers have been carefully planned in the small-
est details, from every part of its equipment to final assembling.
The R&D dpt. underlines that the product you have chosen uses
the most advanced technology. An improper use of the amplifier
can compromise its correct operation. Therefore we recommend
you using it carefully and correctly. Read this manual carefully as
it contains essential information for a safe use of your amplifier.
3.1 Unpacking
Immediately inspect the package and its content so as to check
whether there are any signs of damage. After unpacking check

even if the amplifier shows no sign of shipping damage; you might
have to return it to X-Treme or to one of its dealers. Use the origi-
nal package only, which is the best way to protect the equipment
from shipping mishandling.
3.2 Installation/Assembly
All models of the X-Treme Digital Technology Series amplifiers may
be installed in a 19’’ standard rack strand. For the assembly 4
holes are present on the front panel; in order to get an optimum
fastening, that is important in movable systems, additional sup-
ports are placed on the back.

Pay particular attention during the installation; we remind you that
the amplifiers should not be installed in places with:
• high temperatures;
• dust, excessive humidity or water next to the devices;
• presence of strong magnetic fields;
• vibrations;
• enclosed spaces that coud avoid airing.
