Pyramid Car Audio XPA-200 ユーザーズマニュアル

Indicate the output signal level for each channel.

These amplifiers accept a broad range of input sources, 

including Compact Disc (CD) players; DVD, Cassette, Reel-

to-Reel or other tape players; Radio Tuners; Equalizers; 

Signal Processors.

In a normal installation, one would use the RCA JACKS for 

connecting a CD player, DVD, tape player or tuner.

Connect the processor’s OUT to the amplifier’s INPUT 

connectors.

Connecting a mixer or preamplifier may cause excessive 

noise or hum in the amplifier output. To prevent this, 

connect one end of a low-capacitance shielded wire to the 

amplifier’s ground screw (on the rear panel). Then connect 

the other end of this wire to the ground terminal on the 

mixer or preamplifier enclosure.

You can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm speakers to 

Channel 1 and/or Channel 2 of the amplifier. If you connect 

two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines:

• Speakers which are connected to the same channel are 

part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance.

• Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part 

of a pair, and can be of different impedances.

1.  Prepare the speaker wire by removing about 1 inch of 

insulation from the end of the speaker wire you intend to 

connect to the amplifier.  Then twist the exposed wire to 

secure all the wire strands.     

2.  Connect the speaker wires to the speaker's positive and 

negative terminals.     

3.  Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and   

right speaker terminals according to the terminal color 

polarity.

Your PYRAMID XPA amplifier can be operated in Stereo, 

Mono or Bridged mode, depending on the input source. If 

the input signal is mono, slide the Stereo/Mono/Bridged 

selector switch to MONO and the signal will be routed 

through both channels. If you wish to run the amplifier in 

bridged output mode, slide the switch to Bridged.

Please read this manual throughly before you attempt to set up and use the amplifier. It contains a 
range of installation suggestions as well as instructions to ensure safe usage. Installed properly, you 
can expect years of trouble-free service from this product.

The indicator will be illuminated when 

the amplifier is powered on and at turn-

on delay status; the indicator will be 

turned off after internal outputs are 

connected. The indicator will also be 

illuminated when the amplifier has 

abnormal problems, such as overload 

or excessive heat.

Lets you adjust the sound levels 

for each channel.

Cooling system is automatically activated 

whenever amplifier is turned on. This forced 

air cooling system rapidly exhausts interior

heat, reducing operating temperature and 

aiding performance.

Lets you select conventional

stereo operation with a 

stereo input signal or bridged

mono input mode.

Let you connect a variety of audio 

input sources via the balanced 

(XLR/6.35mm phone jack 

combinations) or unbalanced (RCA) 

inputs.
