The Hafler GX2800 amplifiers are two rack height, two channel, fan-cooled professional power amplifiers suitable for use in the most demanding sound reinforcement and commer cial sound installations. These amplifiers offer outstanding effi- ciency by means of three technologies: high-efficiency TRANS • nova Class-G circuitry , high-frequency swit[...]

– 9 – UNIVERSAL LINE VOL T AGE INPUT V oltage selection is provided in two bands: 100-140 volts and 200-265 volts, (both 50-60 Hz) via two quick-connect termi- nals located on the EMI filter board, accessed by removing the top cover . The current-mode control system automatically corrects for the bulk of power line variation with each band. Thi[...]

The GX2800 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 GX2800 uses forced-air cooling (fan cooling) to remove the heat produced during normal operation. Free air flow at the mounting location is a[...]

– 13 – AUDIO GROUND CHASSIS/FLOA T SWITCH In general, the Audio Ground of each amplifier should be connected to AC mains earth ground A T ONE POINT ONL Y - either through the Chassis (by selecting the "Chassis" position) OR through the input cable (with the switch in the "Float" position, and pin 1 of the XLR or the sleeve o[...]

– 14 – The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal source. INPUT The input jacks used on the GX2800 are dual function connectors which accept 1/4" TRS (T ip Ring Sleeve) or male XLR plugs. The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal, from earth ground or floated source equip- ment. T o [...]

– 15 – FLOA TED EQUIPMENT Units with a 2-pin mains power cord have no means to connect the audio output ground to earth ground, so usually the audio output ground is floated from earth ground. However , this does not insure that when installed in a system, the audio output ground will remain floated from earth ground. The input cable to this eq[...]

– 16 – PHASE The Phase switch will select either 0 ° (normal polarity) or 180 ° (inverted polarity) for the corresponding output signal. CD HORN EQUALIZA TION This adjustable high-frequency shelving circuit can be used to compensate for the roll-off of constant directivity (CD) horns. At the +10dB setting, the gain increases with frequency to[...]

– 17 – 70V and 100V Mono mode also use the CH B input connector and level control only . The 70V or 100V speaker array load should be connected across the red terminals of the output connectors. Set both load switches to the appropriate 70V or 100V value. The rated power into the mono load will be double the rating for a stereo load. See diagra[...]

– 18 – 1. Connect signal from source to both CH A and CH B inputs. 2. Move Biamp/Stereo switch to Stereo input mode. 3. Move Stereo/Mono switch to Stereo mode. 4. Select desired speaker load (8 Ω /4 Ω /2 Ω ) for each channel – CH A & CH B loads do not need to match. 5. Connect appropriate speaker load 8 Ω /4 Ω /2 Ω to 5-way bi[...]

– 19 – 1. Connect signal from source to CH B input. 2. Biamp/Stereo switch not active-(Stereo/Mono switch overrides this switch when in mono/70V/100V mode). 3. Move Stereo/Mono switch to MONO mode. 4. Set load switches (8 Ω /4 Ω /2 Ω ) to 1/2 the actual load impedance. (16 Ω /8 Ω /4 Ω ) i.e. for a 4 Ω speaker load, select the 2 ?[...]
