PRECAUCION: Para reducir el riesgo de incendios o descargas, no permita que este aparato quede expuesto a la lluvia o la humedad. Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléc-
trica, nunca quite la tapa ni el chasis. Dentro del aparato no hay piezas susceptibles de ser reparadas por el usuario. Dirija cualquier reparación al servicio técnico oficial. El
símbolo del relámpago dentro del triángulo equilátero pretende advertir al usuario de la presencia de“voltajes peligrosos”no aislados dentro de la carcasa del producto, que
pueden ser de la magnitud suficiente como para constituir un riesgo de descarga eléctrica a las personas. El símbolo de exclamación dentro del triángulo equilátero quiere
advertirle de la existencia de importantes instrucciones de manejo y mantenimiento (reparaciones) en los documentos que se adjuntan con este aparato.
Instrucciones importantes de seguridad
1. Lea todo este manual de instrucciones antes de comenzar a usar la unidad.
2. Conserve estas instrucciones para cualquier consulta en el futuro.
3. Cumpla con todo lo indicado en las precauciones de seguridad.

humedad, si no funciona normalmente o si ha caído al suelo.
Instrucciones de seguridad / Istruzioni di Sicurezza
ATTENZIONE: per ridurre il rischio di incendio o di scariche elettriche, non esponete questo apparecchio a pioggia o umidità. Per ridurre il pericolo di scariche elettriche evitate
di rimuoverne il coperchio o il pannello posteriore. Non esistono all'interno dell'apparecchio parti la cui regolazione è a cura dell'utente. Per eventuale assistenza, fate riferimento
esclusivamente a personale qualificato. Il fulmine con la punta a freccia all'interno di un triangolo equilatero avvisa l'utente della presenza di "tensioni pericolose" non isolate
all'interno dell'apparecchio, tali da costituire un possibile rischio di scariche elettriche dannose per le persone. Il punto esclamativo all'interno di un triangolo equilatero avvisa
l'utente della presenza di importanti istruzioni di manutenzione (assistenza) nella documentazione che accompagna il prodotto.
Importanti Istruzioni di Sicurezza
1. Prima di usare l'apparecchio, vi preghiamo di leggerne per intero le istruzioni.
2. Conservate tali istruzioni per una eventuale consultazione futura.
3. Vi preghiamo di rispettare tutte le istruzioni di sicurezza.
4. Seguite tutte le istruzioni del costruttore.
5. Non usate questo apparecchio vicino ad acqua o umidità.

8.
Non posizionatelo vicino a sorgenti di calore come radiatori, scambiatori di calore, forni o altri apparecchi (amplificatori compresi) in grado di generare calore.
9. Non disattivate la protezione di sicurezza costituita dalla spina polarizzata o dotata di collegamento a terra. Una spina polarizzata è dotata di due spinotti, uno più
piccolo ed uno più grande. Una spina dotata di collegamento a terra è dotata di due spinotti più un terzo spinotto di collegamento a terra. Questo terzo spinotto, eventu-
almente anche più grande, viene fornito per la vostra sicurezza. Se la spina fornita in dotazione non si adatta alla vostra presa, consultate un elettricista per la sostituzione
della presa obsoleta.
10. Proteggete il cavo di alimentazione in modo che non sia possibile camminarci sopra né piegarlo, con particolare attenzione alle prese, ai punti di collegamento e al punto
in cui esce dall'apparecchio.
11. Staccate l'apparecchio dalla alimentazione in caso di temporali o tempeste o se non lo usate per un lungo periodo.
12. Per l'assistenza, fate riferimento esclusivamente a personale qualificato. È necessaria l'assistenza se l'apparecchio ha subito un qualsiasi tipo di danno, come danni al cavo
o alla spina di alimentazione, nel caso in cui sia stato versato del liquido o siano caduti oggetti al suo interno, sia stato esposto a pioggia o umidità, non funzioni corret-
tamente o sia stato fatto cadere.

Controls and Functions
INPUT CHANNEL SECTION
The following section details each part of the XM410’s INPUT CHANNELS includ-
ing the 3-BAND EQ, the MONITOR and EFX sends, LEVEL and PAD controls.
HIGH MID LOW - Channel Equalizer
The XM410 input channels feature a 3-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the
high, mid, and low frequencies independently on each channel. The channel’s
frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating
the knob towards the right will boost the corresponding frequency band by
12dB/15dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the frequency by 12dB/15dB.
The frequency centers, range of boost or cut, and equalizer type for each band
are as follows:
High: 12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type
Mid: 2.5KHz +/- 12dB peaking type
Low: 80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type
AUX 1/MON - Monitor Send
Each of the XM410’s channels include a MONITOR send which controls the
amount of that channel’s signal that is sent to the MONITOR bus. The Input
channel’s MONITOR sends are mixed together and are sent to the speakers con-
nected to the POWER AMP 1 A/B jacks if the POWER AMP select switch is set to
MAIN+MONITOR.
AUX 2 / EFX Effects Send
The XM410 provides high quality, 24 Bit digital effects, and the level of effects
can be set independently on each channel. The channel’s EFX (Effects) knob controls the amount of sig-
nal that is sent to the EFX bus. The signal of the EFX bus is routed to the DSP EFX section for on-board
signal processing. The EFX signal can also be sent to an external effect device connected to the EFX
OUT jacks located on the front panel.
NOTE: The channel’s EFX signal is sent to the EFX bus from a location in the signal path after the
VOLUME control (4). This is commonly referred as a POST FADER send. This means that the amount of
signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus will be affected not only by the setting of the EFX knob control,
but it will also be affected by the setting of the VOLUME control.
VOLUME - Level Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the output volume of each channel.
PAD - Pad Switch
The PAD switch attenuates the input signal by 20dB. When connecting a hot signal such as a line level
device to channels 1-6, or if the mic input is distorted, turn this switch on (the pressed-in position) and
readjust the VOLUME control.

SELECT - Digital Effects Select Switch
The SELECT switch allows you to pick one of the 100 built-in digital effects.
Simply rotate the SELECT to choose the effect.
Effect PROGRAM List
This section identifies the ten banks of built-in DSP effects presets. The first
bank of 10 presets are designed for live performance, and the following
banks are set up in groups by the types of effects.
EFX LEVEL - Master Effect Send
The EFX LEVEL control is used to send the effect mix bus to an external effect
device connected to the AUX 2 SEND jack. The EFX LEVEL is also used to
control the overall level sent to the internal DSP.
EFX ON - switch
The EFX ON control is used to turn the internal Digital Effect on and off. The
effects are bypassed when the switch is in the out position and the display
shows two dashes

24 BIT DIGITAL EFFECT SECTION
The XM410 features a built-in, 24 Bit Digital Effects processor with 100 high quality,
studio grade effects like Delay, Chorus and Reverb. The following section describes
the features of the powerful on-board digital effects section:

POWER AMP SECTION
The XM410’s power amplifier section can
be configured to operate several ways
depending on whether you need MAIN
plus MONITOR amplifiers to power your
speakers, or if you just need more power
for the MAIN speakers. The section below
describes the XM410 power amp modes.
Mode - Power amp Mode switch
The MODE switch is used to select one of
three different operating modes, MAIN-
MONITOR, MAIN-MAIN and MAIN-BRIDGE.
The following is a description of each of
the POWER operating modes:
CAUTION! Only change the power amp mode switch when the XM410’s power is SWITCHED OFF!
MAIN-MONITOR
With this setting, the MAIN and MONITOR sections can be used independently. The MAIN bus signal will
be sent from the POWER AMP 2 jack, and the MONITOR bus signal will be sent from the POWER AMP 1
jack.
MAIN-MAIN
With this setting, the two power amp channels can be used independently. The MAIN bus signal will be
output from the POWER AMP 1 jack (Rear Panel), and also, from the POWER AMP 2 jack (Rear Panel 1).
MAIN-BRIDGE
With this setting, the two power amp channels (A and B) will be connected in bridge mode. Only the
MAIN bus signal will be output from the BRIDGE jack.
