BXi608 A/B MONO AMPLIFIER

BXi2608D MONO AMPLIFIER

BXi1208D / BXi1608D / BXi2008D MONO AMPLIFIERS

The line input signal is routed directly to the line output RCA’s jacks regardless of the crossover settings.The REMOTE jack allows the addition of the Bass Remote module which controls the BASS EQ signal.The Bass Remote module is NOT a volume control, but rather a Bass Boost at 45Hz.- SUBSONIC allows control from 15Hz to 35Hz- BASS EQ allows control from 0dB to 10dB- LOW PASS allows control from 35Hz to 250Hz- PHASE shift allows 0 degrees to 180 degrees-LEVEL: allows you to match the amplifier input level (gain) to the Radio/CD player output level.- POWER: indicates that the amp has power, ground and remote turn-on input via a green L.E.D.- PROTECT: indicates that the amplifier has detected a fault and will not operate.There are several possible problems that can cause the amplifier to go into the protect

mode. See the trouble shooting guide in the back of the manual for details.- BALANCED INPUT: Accepts line level balanced input from 0.4v to 18v. The XX-BLD can be

used as a balanced line driver.

The 1 channel mono amplifiers are capable of 4, 2 & 1 ohm loads and can be used in anyof the “bi-amplifier” systems described in the 2 and 4 channel Zeus, Titan and GEN XXinstallation manuals.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE ANY AMPLIFIER BELOW THE INTENDED IMPEDANCE

YOU WILL CAUS E DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER THAT WILL NOT BE COVEREDUNDER THE WARRANTY PRINTED IN THE BACK OF THE MANUAL.Mono amps: 4, 2 & 1 Ohms.

BALANCED INPUT: Accepts balanced line inputs from 0.04 volts to 18 volts for the optional MMBLD-1 balanced line driver.LINE INPUT: The Line Inputs are the RCA input jacks labeled “LINE INPUT”. This is where the Radio/CD player RCA outputs connect to. The Line Inputs acceptunbalanced RCA inputs from 0.2 volts to 9 volts.LINE OUTPUT: The Line Outputs are a direct pass-through from the inputs. The RCA input signal from the radio/CD player is routed through the amplifier and out of the Line Outputs. The outputs would connect to another amp Line Inputs in a multi-amp set-up.This allows you to daisy chain multiple amps from a single set of RCAcables from the radio/CD player.LEVEL: The input level control allows you to match the amplifier input sensitivity to the output level of the RADIO/CD player from 0.2 Volts to 9 volts when usingunbalanced RCA cables. The Level control needs to be adjusted to match the Line Level Sensitivity (this is the amount of voltage the radio/CD player RCA’sprovide. Example: If the radio/CD player Line Level Sensitivity is 4 volts, adjust the amp Level control to 4 volts.

SUBSONIC: The variable Subsonic filter is for subwoofer applications that require very low tuning frequencies typically around 15Hz - 35Hz.BASS EQ: Variable Bass Boost from 0 to 10dB at a fixed 45Hz.LOW PASS: Fully adjustable crossover from 35 to 250Hz.PHASE SHIFT: The Phase Shift is fully adjustable from 0 to 180 degrees and this allows you to control the timing of the subwoofers. This is commonly used whenthe subwoofers are installed in each front door.SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS: The amplifier has built-in monitoring devices and protection circuits that monitor all vital functions of the amplifier. The Protection lightdoes not come on to indicate there is a failure, it comes on when it detects an improper operation. Common issues that causeProtection status are:- THERMAL: The amp has an internal temperature sensor that will automatically shut off the amp if it reaches dangerous temperature levels.- OVER LOAD: If the amp is run at an improper impedance, the amp will shut down. If you are “CLIPPING” speakers / subwoofer(s), the light will blink to indicate ahard clip.

- DC PROTECT: In the unlikely event the amp should internally fail, the amp will shut down to prevent a DC voltage output to the speakers or sub. REMOTE: The HFR-3 Bass Remote Module plugs into the Renmote jack and allows you to adjust the Bass Boost from 0 to 10dB.MASTER/SLAVE: Allows for Linking/Strapping two amplifiers to a single subwoofer or multiple subwoofers that are wired together.
