Our mission is to continually provide you with the best mobile audio ­ anywhere. Our goal is to exceed your expectations. [. . . ] For safety, an outboard 60 amp fuse may be added close to the amplifier. A 60 amp fuse must be installed in-line with the power wire at the battery. In the case of a multi-amp system, use a fuse value equal to the combined total demand of all amplifiers in the system. Water and Moisture Install all Xtant amplifiers and accessories in a location free of moisture or exposure to water. 4 system. The403a is a 400 Watt amplifier designed to provide high power, exceptional flexibility and outstanding performance in an all-in-one package. The 403a's three channel technology is all you need for a high performance speaker and subwoofer The on-board "Balanced Line Inputs" will accept a wide range of input signals ­ from your OEM Factory head-unit to the latest advances in CD headunit technology. The "Balanced Line" circuitry also helps eliminate noise (alternator whine) induced into the signal cables. As with all Xtant amplifiers, the 403a incorporates a forced convection thermal management system, a Pulse Width Modulated power supply for unsurpassed reliability and three on-board accessory ports allow performance upgrades via Xtant's plug-in modules. All these features are encased in Xtant's exclusive finish of polished stainless steel and copper! Standard Features Forced Convection Cooling: The 403a employs forced convection cooling for thermal management. An on-board thermal sensing circuit regulates fan speed to maintain optimum operating temperature. Balanced / Floating Input: The 403a is supplied with Balanced / Floating inputs. When engaged, this circuitry helps to eliminate "system noise" associated with "ground-loops". If a module is not used (jumpers in place), a signal is still present at the RCA line outputs. 7 OPTIONAL ACCESSORY MODULES Xtant optional accessory modules are easily and quickly installed by your Authorized Xtant Dealer. The upgrade modules snap into place on the amplifiers PC board when the top of the unit is removed. These accessories enhance your entire system, expanding and customizing performance for your unique application. PARAMETRIC EQUALIZATION MODULE ­ PQM 1 The PQM-1 is a precision tuning instrument, designed to be adjusted with the use of a Real-Time-Analyzer. This true, fully adjustable, one band parametric equalizer provides individual frequency, Q (bandwidth), and gain adjustments. Any frequency from 20 Hz to 20kHz can be chosen. The "Q" ranges from 1 to 10 in value, providing a wide range of adjustment to address the subtle tuning requirements common with most mobile audio systems. 24 DB / OCTAVE CROSSOVER MODULE ­ CM 24X The CM-24X is a 24 dB per octave "Linkwitz - Riley" crossover filter. The CM-24x module improves loudspeaker polar response while its steeper slope provides enhanced system design flexibility. RESISTOR MODULES ­ RM4, RM8, RM12 & RM16 The RM 4, 8, 12 & 16 resistor modules are designed to activates the "passive speaker terminals" on the 403a and 302a while providing four different levels of attenuation for the speakers connected to these terminals. The RM 4 module offers 4 dB of attenuation, the RM 8 offers 8 dB of attenuation, the RM 12 offers 12 dB of attenuation and the RM 16 offers 16 dB of attenuation. 8 MAINTENANCE Recommended Cleaning Procedures C l e a n i n g t h e fa n / C i r c u i t B oa r d ­ E v e ry 9 0 Day s A. The internal fan in all Xtant amplifiers need periodic cleaning. If you are in a high dust environment, every 30 days is recommended. We recommend that your dealer remove the cover and clean the fan blades with a soft brush. [. . . ] Apply the cleaner/polish to the cloth (not the amplifier) and wipe the surface. Take care not to catch the cloth on the copper mesh. Caution: B. 9 CUSTOMER RELATIONS TECHNICAL SERVICES STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Our customer's satisfaction is our purpose.
