Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha XP7000, XP5000, XP3500, XP2500, XP1000 Series Power Ampli-
fier.
The XP Series of power amplifiers was developed from Yamaha’s wealth of experience in building PA
equipment and its tradition of careful attention to every detail of circuit design. These power amplifiers
feature high power — thanks to EEEngine (Energy Efficient Engine) technology — and superb quality
together with superior reliability and stability, guaranteeing the highest possible audio performance.

Main features include

• Three modes are provided to support a broad range of applications: STEREO mode which can be driven by two
independent sources, PARALLEL mode in which a monaural source drives both channels, and BRIDGE mode
in which the two internal amps function as a single high-power mono amp.
• Balanced XLR connector and Euroblock connector inputs, and Speakon connector and five-way binding post
outputs are provided.
• A high pass filter switch that enables selection of the cutoff frequency (20Hz or 55Hz).
• Signal indicator, clip indicator and sophisticated dB step Volume control are provided for each channel.
• A PROTECTION indicator that shows the state of various protection systems (power on/off detection, output
protection, DC detection), a TEMP indicator that indicates heat sink overheating, and a POWER/STANDBY
indicator that indicates the power status.
• Variable-speed low-noise fans ensure high reliability.
• The XP7000 enables parallel connection of multiple high-impedance speakers that support 70V line output.
• The XP3500 enables parallel connection of multiple high-impedance speakers that support 100 V line output.
• A MONITOR/REMOTE terminal that allows monitoring or control over the amplifier via a network.

This Owner’s Manual applies to the XP7000, XP5000, XP3500, XP2500, XP1000 power amplifier. In
order to take full advantage of your power amplifier and enjoy long and trouble-free operation, please
read this Owner’s Manual carefully before using your Power Amplifier.

Speaker Connections
Speakers can be connected to the amplifier in three ways, as shown below. Note that speaker impedance will vary according
to the connection method and the number of speakers. Please be sure that your speaker's impedance is not less than the rele-
vant minimum value indicated below.

■ Stereo Mode
Set the Mode switch to STEREO to use the unit as a stereo amplifier. The volume controls on the front panel (A and B) let
you control the volume of each channel independently.

High-impedance speaker connections (XP7000/3500 only)

The XP7000 enables you to connect in stereo or parallel fashion multiple high-impedance speakers that support 70V line
output.
The number of speakers that can be connected varies depending on the speaker’s rated input. You can connect speakers with
a total rated input per channel of up to 625 W.
For example, if you are using speakers with a rated input of 10 W and 15 W, you can connect up to 31 speakers at 10 W (for
310W), and 21 speakers at 15 W (for 315 W). The total is 625 W per channel.

Be sure to use speakers that support the XP7000’s line-out voltage of 70 V.
