1. 4 Connect your speakers to the terminals observing proper polarity 5 Restore power to the amplifier Both channel levels can be adjusted with the corresponding channel level adjustments Dual source connections The X125 and X225 have dual source capability If two sources are used connect the source you want to take temporary priority to the Primary input and the other constant source to the Secondary input Whenever the primary source becomes active that signal will take priority over the distributed audio signal on the secondary line The signal is still active on the secondary line but will not be heard and once the primary audio signal is muted or turned off the amplifier will automatically switch back to the secondary audio signal For dual source connections 1 Connect the source audio outputs to both Primary and Secondary inputs as instructed above 2 Set the switching delay with the Delay Time knob This adjustment determines the length of time it takes to switch back to the secondary signal For example if the primary source is a CD changer increasing the delay time will prevent a switch back to the secondary source while the disc is changing Note This works with all incoming signals line level or speaker level Speaker Level Signal If you have a source that is only available as a speaker level signal connect it to the Speaker Level Input terminals using the spring loaded terminal block and observing proper p2. and 80 watts into 8 ohms The X225 is rated at 225 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 150 watts into 8 ohms Each amplifier output channel incorporates robust protection circuitry for reliability and safety under extreme circumstances With the Stereo Bridge Mono switch in the Bridge Mono position both amplifier channels are combined for a higher powered mono output In Bridge mode the X125 is rated at 250 watts of power into a single 8 ohm load and the X225 is rated at 470 watts of power into a single 8 ohm load The 12V Trigger In Out allows each amplifier to be activated by other devices or to activate other electronics via a 3 5 mm mini phone plug cable with 100mA current capability Thermal Protection All X Series amplifiers are designed with special circuitry to safeguard the amplifier under a thermal overload condition Thermal protection mode will only engage when the unit has been run at high volume for extended periods of time without adequate ventilation and or when speaker impedances are below the minimum levels for the amplifier In thermal protection mode the amplifier will automatically stop output If this fault occurs turn off the amplifier and check that the speaker impedance rating is above the minimum rating Also check for adequate ventilation around the amplifier and make adjustments if necessary Once the unit has cooled to safe operating temperatures the amplifier may be powered back on Protection Circuitry S
