Handling caution • When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the device should be turned off FIRST for the same reason. • Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.). • Do not use the device for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.
Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha XP7000, XP5000, XP3500, XP2500, XP1000 Series Power Amplifier. The XP Series of power amplifiers was developed from Yamaha’s wealth of experience in building PA equipment and its tradition of careful attention to every detail of circuit design.
Controls and Functions ■ Front Panel 2 7 1 4 3 5 6 7 * The illustration shows model XP7000. 1 POWER switch and indicator Press this to turn the power on or off. The POWER/ STANDBY indicator lights up in green when the power is ON. If the amplifier has been set to STANDBY mode, the indicator is lit in orange. 2 TEMP indicator Lights up red if the heat sink temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F).
■ Rear Panel 4 3 1 5 2 1 XLR inputs connectors 7 8 5 MODE switch These balanced XLR-3-31 type connectors are used to connect input signals. The pins are wired as shown below (IEC 60268). Hot 7 6 Ground Cold * In bridged mode, only the first channel in the pair is active; i.e., channel A of pair A/B. Make sure not to input an audio signal to an inactive input terminal. 2 Euroblock connectors These balanced Euroblock connectors are used to connect input signals.
Speaker Connections Speakers can be connected to the amplifier in three ways, as shown below. Note that speaker impedance will vary according to the connection method and the number of speakers. Please be sure that your speaker's impedance is not less than the relevant minimum value indicated below. ■ Stereo Mode Set the Mode switch to STEREO to use the unit as a stereo amplifier. The volume controls on the front panel (A and B) let you control the volume of each channel independently.
■ Bridged Mode (use as high-power mono amplifier) Set the Mode switch to BRIDGE to use the unit as a high-power mono amplifier. The volume control A on the front panel A lets you control the volume. Note: In this case, the loads for A and B are directly connected in the amplifier. Make sure not to input any signal to the B terminal.
High-impedance speaker connections (XP7000/3500 only) The XP7000 enables you to connect in stereo or parallel fashion multiple high-impedance speakers that support 70V line output. The number of speakers that can be connected varies depending on the speaker’s rated input. You can connect speakers with a total rated input per channel of up to 625 W.
