About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron's XTRA
Series of power ampliers: the XPA 1002 two-channel stereo
audio power amplier and the XPA 2001 mono audio power
amplier. The XPA 1002 outputs 60 watts per channel at 8 ohms
and 100 watts per channel at 4 ohms. The XPA 2001 offers two
models: the XPA 2001-70V and the XPA 2001-100V. The XPA
2001-70V outputs 200 watts (70 V line mono), and the XPA 2001-
100V outputs 200 watts (100 V line mono).
Terms used in this manual
The terms “amplifier” and “power amplifier” are used
interchangeably in this manual to refer to all of the XPA
models. XPA 2001 refers to both the XPA 2001-70V and the XPA
2001-100V.
Features
Inputs — Balanced or unbalanced stereo on a captive screw
connector.
Speaker Outputs — Screw-lock, 5 mm captive screw connector.
Continuous power output for larger rooms —
• XPA 1002: 60 watts rms per channel at 8 ohms; 100
watts rms per channel at 4 ohms.
• XPA 2001-70V: 200 watts rms for 70 volt speaker
systems.
• XPA 2001-100V: 200 watts rms for 100 volt speaker
systems.
Professional grade amplifier design —
• Less than 0.05% Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise
• Better than 100 dB Signal-to-Noise
ENERGY STAR® qualified amplifier — The XTRA Series of
amplifiers are energy efficient products to help meet green
building requirements for low power consumption and
reduced operating costs.
Highly efficient Class D amplifier design — The XTRA
Series of amplifiers generate substantially less heat than
conventional amplifier designs, making them ideal for
installation in equipment racks and lecterns with very
limited ventilation. They consumes 10 watts when idle
and less than 1 watt in standby mode.
Extron Patented CDRS™ - Class D Ripple Suppression
— A patented, exclusive technology from Extron that
eliminates the high frequency switching ripple and EMI
emissions found in typical Class D ampliers. CDRS
enables Extron power ampliers to be situated near
wireless A/V devices without RF interference.
Convection cooled — The XTRA Series of ampliers are
convection cooled without the need for fans, ensuring
quiet, reliable operation.
Plenum rated when used with optional Flexible Conduit
Adapter Kit, part # 70-228-02 — The ampliers meet UL
2043 for smoke and heat release for installation within a
plenum airspace above a drop ceiling.
Auto-standby with fast power-up — The amplifiers
automatically enter into a standby mode after one hour of
inactivity, dramatically reducing power consumption. It
quickly returns to full power status upon signal detection.
Rear panel level controls — Provide attenuation of input
signals for setting proper audio system gain staging
as well as two-zone applications. They are located on
the rear panel to prevent unauthorized or accidental
tampering of the level adjustments.
Multiple protection circuits — Activate during excessive
clipping, thermal overload, or DC faults to prevent
damage to the amplifier and speakers.
Remote standby port — Enables the ampliers to be remotely
powered down when not in use, reducing operating cost.
Remote volume and mute control port — This port allows the
amplifiers to be remotely controlled using the optional
Extron VCM 100 Series volume and mute or VC 50
volume controllers.
Screw lock, 5 mm captive screw speaker connectors — Enables
simple, secure connections with 22 to 14 AWG speaker
cables.
Front and rear-mounted signal and protection indication LEDs
— Provide convenient indication of amplifier operation
from both sides of an equipment rack.
Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50-60
Hz, universal power supply provides worldwide power
compatibility.
