The Hafler GX2300 and GX2600 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 out- standing efficiency by means of three technologies: high-efficiency Class-G T ri • nova amplifiers, high-freq[...]

– 10 – WHAT ELSE DISTINGUISHES THESE AMPLIFIERS? Constant power into varying impedance. It takes twice as much current to develop a given wattage into 2 Ω as it does into 8 Ω — but only half the voltage. Many amplifiers quote a high output current at 2 Ω but have an unpublished operating time measured in a handful of seconds — before [...]

– 11 – 1. Recessed Front Panel - Prevents switches and controls from acci- dentally being adjusted or broken. 2. Power Switch - T urns the amplifier ON and OFF 3. Power LEDs - V erifies that the amplifier channel is ON 4. Status LEDs - Displays the status of the amplifier . The LEDs are as follows: SIGNAL indicates if signal is present; CLIP il[...]

The GX2300/2600 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 GX2300/2600 uses forced-air cooling (fan cooling) to remove the heat produced during normal operation. Free air flow at the mounting loc[...]

– 13 – AUDIO GROUND CHASSIS/FLOAT 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 of[...]

– 14 – The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal source. INPUT The input jacks used on the GX2300/2600 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 equipment[...]

– 15 – FLOATED SOURCE EQUIPMENT Source 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 cab[...]

– 16 – DELAY (One of these switches must be selected. If all the switches are OFF , there will be no output signal.) The delay feature provides five sections of 2nd-order all-pass delay filters of 450µsec +/-10µ sec each. Unlike the more commonly used 1st-order all-pass, the 2nd-order filters achieve a constant delay time over the usable freq[...]

– 17 – LEVEL CONTROLS The gain for each channel can be controlled individually using the front panel level control. The controls have 32 detented positions that are calibrated in dB. The maximum gain position is marked as the "0 dB" position, and the lower gain posi- tions indicate the amount of attenuation relative to the maximum gai[...]

– 18 – LOAD SWITCH The Load Switch - located on the front panel - allows the amplifier power supply to be matched to the speaker load for more efficient, cooler running operation.This unique feature of the GX2300/2600 allows each channel to be configured for 2 Ω , 4 Ω , 8 Ω , or 70V , 100V mono operation. (also 70V Dual Mono-GX2600 only).[...]

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[...]
