REC OUT - Record Output
The signal present at this connector is the MAIN bus signal before it has passed through the MASTER level
control and graphic equalizer. The nominal output level is -10dBV and the impedance is100K Ohms.
MAIN OUT - PRE OUT MIX OUTPUT
The signal present at this connector is the MAIN bus signal, which has passed through the MAIN/ MASTER
level control and the graphic equalizer. The nominal output level is +4dBu and the impedance is100K
Ohms.
MONITOR OUT - AUX 1 SEND
The MONITOR bus signal is present at this connector. The signal is passed through the MONITOR /MAS-
TER level control and graphic equalizer before it reaches the MONITOR OUT connector. The nominal out-
put level is +4dBu and the impedance is100K Ohms.

REAR PANEL
The XM610 contains two mono power amplifiers and depending on the operating mode, the two amplifiers can
be used independently (maximum output 300W + 300W) or in BRIDGE mode (maximum output 600W).
NOTE
: Use the MODE switch to select which signal is sent to the speaker output jacks, and to activate BRIDGE mode.
If the two power amplifiers are used for MAINS operation, two speakers can be connected to the AMP 1 A/B
jacks and two more to the AMP 2 A/B jacks, for a total of four speakers.
NOTE
: When using the A and B jacks simultaneously, connect 8 through 16 Ohm speakers. In this case, be care-
ful not to connect a speaker to the BRIDGE jack.
The total impedance load for each amplifier must not exceed 4 Ohms, therefore in the example above, one
speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms is connected to each amp’s A and B jacks. (The A/B jacks are wired in
"Parallel", so the total impedance when two 8 Ohm speakers are connected is 4 Ohms.)
If you wish to use two amplifiers independently, let’s say for Main and Monitor operation, but only connect a sin-
gle speaker to the A or B jack, use a 4 through 8 Ohm speaker. Again, the total impedance load for each amplifi-
er must not exceed 4 Ohms, therefore one speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms can be connected to each
amp’s A and B jacks.
If the two amplifiers are used in a BRIDGE mode, only one speaker can be connected to the BRIDGE jack. The
total impedance load while operating in Bridge mode must not be less than 8 Ohms.
If you are connecting a speaker to the BRIDGE jack, use an 8 through 16 Ohm speaker.
CAUTION: When using a bridge connection, do not connect anything to the AMP 1 and AMP 2 jacks. Likewise,
when using the POWER AMP 1 and POWER AMP 2 jacks, do not connect anything to the BRIDGE jack.

EXTERNAL OUTPUT JACKS
The XM610 features several output connectors allowing you to interface a variety of external devices. A stereo
recording device such as a cassette recorder can be connected to the REC OUT jacks, and additional power
amplifiers can be connected to the MONITOR and MAIN output jacks.
