SPEAKER CONNECTION
The XM610’s power amplifier section can be configured to operate several ways depending on the setting of the
power amp MODE switch located on the front panel. This allows you to choose whether you need MAIN plus
MONITOR amplifiers to power your speakers, or if you just need more power for the MAIN speakers. For more
information on the power amp MODE switch, see the section POWER AMP SECTION on page 7 of this manual.
There are three ways in which speakers can be connected to the XM610: A single speaker can be connected to
either the A or B jack of AMP 1 and AMP 2, two speakers can be connected in parallel to both the A and B jacks
of AMP1 and AMP 2, or a single speaker can be connected to the BRIDGE jack (bridge connection). For each of
these, the required speaker impedance will differ.
Refer to the following diagram, and make sure that the speaker impedance is not less than the specified value.
Additional, or alternative amplifiers can be connected to the MAIN OUT and MONITOR OUT jacks on the front
panel.
XM610 Input and Output Connections
When connecting one
speaker to POWER AMP 1
and one speaker to
POWER AMP 2, use
speakers with a 4 – 8 ohm
impedance rating.
When connecting two
speakers to POWER AMP
1 and two speaker to
POWER AMP 2, use
speakers with a 8 – 16
ohm impedance rating.
When the POWER AMPS
are in BRIDGE use a
speakers with a 8 – 16
ohm impedance rating.
