 “Remote Level Mode” Switch:  This switch 
allows you to assign the operation of the HD-RLC 
to the entire amplifier or only the subwoofer 
channel. In the “All” position, the HD-RLC knob 
will affect all channels equally. In the “Sub Ch.” 
position, only the level of the subwoofer channel 
will be affected by the HD-RLC knob.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
The XD700/5v2’s speaker outputs are designed 
to accept 16 AWG - 8 AWG wire. To connect the 
speaker wires to the amplifier, first back out the 
set screws on the top of the terminal block, using 
the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench. Strip 1/2 inch 
(12 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire 
and insert the bare wire into the terminal block, 
seating it firmly so that no bare wire is exposed. 
While holding the wire in place, tighten the set 
screw firmly, taking care not to strip the head of 
the screw.
Each pair of the XD700/5v2’s main channels are 
designed to deliver power into speaker loads equal 
to or greater than 2 ohms when using a “stereo” 
configuration and speaker loads equal to or greater 
than 4 ohms when using a “bridged” configuration. 
The subwoofer channel is designed to deliver power 
into subwoofer loads equal to or greater than 2 ohms.
 
 
 
Speaker loads below 2 ohms nominal per 
channel (or 4 ohms bridged) are not 
recommended and may cause the amplifier to 
initiate a protection mode which reduces  
power output.
BRIDGING CONSIDERATIONS
Bridging is the practice of combining the 
output of two amplifier channels to drive a single 
load. When bridged, each channel produces 
signals of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity. 
The combined output of the two channels 
provides twice the output voltage available from a 
single channel. The XD700/5v2 has been designed 
for bridging of its main channel pairs without the 
need for input inversion adaptors.
To bridge a pair of main channels, use the 
“Left +” and “Right –” speaker connectors only 
(the “Left –” and “Right +” remain unused). Each 
bridged channel pair will deliver optimum power 
into a 4 ohm load.
When a pair of the XD700/5v2’s main channels 
are bridged, they will deliver 200W x 1 into a 
4 ohm load or 150W x 1 into an 8 ohm load. 
Operating a pair of bridged channels into a 
load lower than 4 ohms is not recommended.
 
A bridged pair of channels requires that both 
channels in the pair receive input. You must 
connect the mono or stereo source signal to 
both the left and right inputs of the bridged 
channel pair. Connection of only one input will 
result in reduced power output, increased 
distortion and can cause the amplifier to 
overheat. Do not do this!
When a pair of the XD700/5v2’s main channels 
are operating in bridged mode, the output will be 
in mono (only one channel). This mono channel 
can contain only right channel information, only 
left channel information, or the sum of the signals 
from right and left input channels. In order to 
achieve one of these options, configure the inputs 
to that pair of channels in one of these two ways:
 
1)  Left Channel Only or Right Channel Only 
Information:  If you wish to send a left-only or 
right-only signal to a pair of the XD700/5v2’s 
channels you must use a “Y-Adaptor” to split 
the single channel signal into both left and 
right RCA inputs of the bridged channel pair.
