WHAT ELSE DISTINGUISHES THESE AMPLIFIERS? Constant power into varying impedance. It takes twice as much current to develop a given wattage into 2Ω as it does into 8Ω —but only half the voltage. Many amplifiers quote a high output current at 2Ω but have an unpublished operating time measured in a handful of seconds—before thermal shutdown (hopefully) precludes thermal meltdown. Our solution for this is selectable rail voltages for optimizing the amplifier to the load. This is impractical for conv

Installation The GX2300/2600 is a standard 2U (2 rack height) 19" rack-mount unit, with both front and rear rack mounting ears. In portable systems, the amplifier must be supported at both the front and rear. ! COOLING The GX2300/2600 uses forced-air cooling (fan cooling) to remove the heat produced during normal operation. Free air flow at the mounting location is a critical factor in accomplishing long-term reliable operation of the amplifier. The internal fans of the amplifier pull in fresh (

AUDIO GROUND CHASSIS/FLOAT SWITCH In general, the Audio Ground of each amplifier should be connected to AC mains earth ground AT ONE POINT ONLY- either through the Chassis (by selecting the "Chassis" position) OR through the input cable (with the switch in the "Float" 1/ position, and pin 1 of the XLR or the sleeve of the " connected to the ground of the signal source unit.) 4 The Chassis/Float switch can be used as a means to troubleshoot ground loop problems, or to verify wiring. Ground loops

Operation The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal source. INPUT 1 The input jacks used on the GX2300/2600 are dual function connectors which accept / " TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) or male 4 XLR plugs. The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal, from earth ground or floated source equipment. To determine if your equipment is earth grounded or floated, consult the owner’s manual or test with an ohm- meter. The signal connections are as follows:

However, this does not insure that when installed in a system, the audio output ground will remain floated from ea

DELAY (One of these switches must be selected. If all the switches are OFF, there will be no output signal.) The delay feature provides five sections of 2nd-order all-pass delay filters of 450µsec +/-10µsec each. Unlike the more commonly used 1st-order all-pass, the 2nd-order filters achieve a constant delay time over the usable frequency range of 1Hz to 1kHz. At frequencies higher than 1kHZ, the gain remains flat, while the delay time gradually decreases to zero. The delay time is labeled in

LEVEL CONTROLS The gain for each channel can be controlled individually using the front panel level control. The controls have 32 detented positions that are calibrated in dB. The maximum gain position is marked as the "0 dB" position, and the lower gain posi- tions indicate the amount of attenuation relative to the maximum gain position in dB. Minimum gain position is marked as “Off” and represents over 100dB of attenuation relative to the maximum gain position. The CH B level control is used f

LOAD SWITCH The Load Switch - located on the front panel - allows the amplifier power supply to be matched to the speaker load for more efficient, cooler running operation.This unique feature of the GX2300/2600 allows each channel to be configured for 2Ω , 4Ω , 8Ω , or 70V, 100V mono operation. (also 70V Dual Mono-GX2600 only). The power output and thermal performance of the amplifier remains consistent with all the possible combinations of the loads listed.
