CX-A450:
Installation and Operation Manual
07-03-05 V3.0
7 100V Line operation
An optional four-channel, internally
mounted 40W, 70V/100V-line
transformer module (CXL-4160) is
available for the CX-A450. The
installer can select 70 or 100V
operation when installing the
CXL-4160 by means of soldered
links on the underside of the PCB. A
single channel externally wired 40W
70V/100V-line transformer module;
the CXL-40T, is also available. 70 or 100V operation from the CXL-40T is selected by
wiring the speaker network to the correct screw terminal (See Fig 4).
When a 70/100V line transformer is installed to a zone, the 65Hz high pass filter for that
zone must be switched on, the instructions below detail the procedure you must follow to
activate the appropriate filter
1) Turn the power off & remove the mains lead.
2) Remove the top panel from the unit.
3) Turn the relevant 65Hz high pass filter ‘on’ by moving the relevant jumpers to the ‘ON’
position (see list below).
J1 = Channel 1 Location of 65Hz Filter Jumper for Channel 2
J2 = Channel 2
(The other 65Hz jumpers are placed similarly around the PCB)
J3
= Channel 3
J4 = Channel 4
4) Replace the top panel.
If a filter is not switched on, operation
at high input levels and low
frequencies may result in the
transformer saturating and the
amplifier’s VI and clip limiting
operating.
A 2U 19" rack panel (CXL-800) is
available which can accommodate up to 8 CXL-40T transformer modules
8 Bridged Mode Operation
The unit can be operated in Bridged Mode using any two channels (see Fig 6). The two
amplifiers that are to be bridged must have the same signal input fed to each of them and be
out of phase with each other. The input level controls of the two channels should both to be
set to the fully clockwise position.
