X5 Owner’s Manual
The X Series amplifiers have the tremendous dynamic range (>150 
dB) to do justice to the 24 bit recordings of  the 21
st
 Century.  The 
simple but powerful circuitry moves easily from total silence to 
explosive transient and back to silence without a trace.  It’s a spooky 
experience.
So relax and enjoy your amplifier.  Call us if  you ever have a problem 
or question.  Thank you for buying our product.
You can position the amplifier anywhere you want, but it requires 
ventilation.  We do not recommend placing it in enclosed cabinets or 
small closets without means for air to circulate freely.  The amplifier 
idles at about 200 watts.
Let’s talk about power requirements.  The amplifier draws about 
2 amps (continuous rms) out of  the wall during normal audio 
operation, and this reflects mostly the idle current that we run 
through the output stage.  If  you are driving a low impedance load, 
you will draw more than this, but this will not be typical.
The X5 is provided with the more conventional AC line cord, which 
is rated at 15 amps. The circuit ground is attached to the chassis in 
the conventional manner.
Under no circumstances should you defeat the ground connection of  
the power cord.  For your safety, the chassis of  the amplifier should 
be earth grounded.
Looking at the rear panel you will see the AC power cord receptacle, 
a power switch, fuse holder, five pairs of  output connectors, a pair of  
5 way connectors for remote turn-on, five RCA input connectors and 
five XLR balanced input connectors.
Make sure that the power switch is off  (down).  Plug the AC cord 
into the back of  the amplifier, and then into the wall.  Then turn the 
switch on (up).  The lights in your house will blink when the power 
supply charges the capacitors.  
On the front panel, the “Standby” LED indicator should be glowing 
blue, indicating that the power is on.  The “Power” LED should 
not be on.  If  the “Power” LED is on, don’t get excited, just use 
the front panel stand-by button to go to stand-by mode, with the 
“Standby” LED on and the “Power “ LED off.
OK, so the amplifier is sitting there in stand-by mode with just the
