PRODUCT OVERVIEW

WHARFEDALE PRO XR2500

The XR3500, XR3000, XR2500, XR1500, and XR800 deliver 1,000, 700, 500, 330, and 200 watts per channel into 8Ω, respectively.

All models feature XLR through connectors, making cable management and daisy-chaining easy for installers or when used in flight cases. All models feature full circuitry protection for thermal, overcurrent, DC, and output short circuit, along with power on/off muting. All models also feature ultra-quiet variable-speed fans.

Rear panel mode switches allow for selection between parallel, stereo, and bridge modes, along with input sensitivity switching.

Large front air vents and steel construction aid heat dissipation to ensure the long life and reliable performance that come with any Wharfedale Pro amplifier. Meanwhile, a huge toroidal transformer takes care of any AC power fluctuations.

Protection

An XR series amplifier features comprehensive protection circuitry. This ensures that no matter what problems might exist with external cabling, AC power, or loudspeakers, the amplifier will protect itself and its surroundings.

Front panel LEDs give immediate and clear feedback on the situation. Should an external fault occur, the red LED 'Fault' light will illuminate and the amp will go into protection mode. A rear panel 'Reset' button is then available to reset the amplifier once the external fault has been diagnosed and removed.

Handy 'Clip' LEDs are also visible from the front panel. Even from a distance, it's simple and clear to see and understand the status of the amp.

A look behind the scenes

Around the back of the XR are the balanced inputs and outputs, along with configuration switches.

A handy feature is the 2 x XLR link outputs, which allow for easy 'daisy chaining' of multiple amps, removing the need for external patching or excessive cabling.

Around the back is also the input sensitivity switch, selectable between 0.775V and 1.4V.

The main 'Bridge / Stereo / Parallel' mode switch is also on the rear. STEREO mode makes the two channels work independently. The CH1 input signal goes to the CH1 output, and the CH2 signal goes to the CH2 output. BRIDGE mode makes the CH1 input signal go to the BRIDGE output socket. This is controlled by using the CH1 volume control. PARALLEL mode makes the CH1 input signal go to both the CH1 and CH2 output sockets. The input socket of CH2 has no effect. The channel volumes can be adjusted independently.
