The NX6000D is a high-performance, ultra-lightweight 6000-Watt Class-D power amplifier with integrated DSP and 24-bit/96 kHz converters, designed for professional audio applications.
2. Important Safety Instructions
- Power Source: Connect the unit only to an AC power outlet of the correct voltage as specified on the rear panel.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not block ventilation openings.
- Water and Moisture: Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Do not place objects filled with liquids on the apparatus.
- Servicing: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
- Cables: Use only high-quality, shielded cables for all audio connections to prevent interference.
- Grounding: This product must be grounded.
- Cleaning: Clean only with a dry cloth.
3. Setup Guide
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the amplifier and inspect it for any signs of damage during transit. If damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.
3.2 Placement
The NX6000D is designed for rack mounting. Ensure sufficient space around the unit for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3.3 Connections
- Power Connection: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the amplifier's power inlet and then to a suitable grounded power outlet.
- Input Connections: Use balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS cables to connect your audio source (mixer, preamplifier) to the INPUT A and INPUT B jacks on the rear panel.
- Output Connections: Connect your loudspeakers to the SPEAKON output connectors (OUTPUT A and OUTPUT B) on the rear panel. Ensure correct polarity and impedance matching. The amplifier supports 4-ohm and 8-ohm loads.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
Press the POWER button on the front panel to turn the unit on. The display will illuminate. To power off, press the POWER button again.
4.2 Front Panel Controls
- Level Controls (CH A, CH B): Adjust the output level for each channel.
- SIGNAL/LIMIT/PROTECT LEDs: Indicate signal presence, limiting activity, and protection mode.
- LCD Display: Shows current settings, DSP parameters, and status.
- SETUP Button: Accesses the main setup menu.
- PROCESS Button: Accesses DSP processing parameters.
- Encoder Knob: Navigates menus and adjusts parameter values.
- EXIT Button: Returns to the previous menu or main screen.
4.3 DSP Functionality
The integrated DSP allows for advanced audio processing. Press the PROCESS button to enter the DSP menu. Here you can configure:
- Delay: Adjust signal delay for speaker alignment.
- Crossover: Set crossover frequencies and filter types (e.g., Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel) up to 48 dB/octave.
- EQ: Utilize 8 parametric and 2 dynamic equalizer bands for precise frequency shaping.
- Dynamics Processing: Apply compression or limiting to control dynamic range.
- Security Settings: Lock settings to prevent unauthorized changes.
Use the Encoder Knob to navigate and adjust parameters. Press the Encoder Knob to confirm selections. Refer to the full digital manual (available on the Behringer website) for detailed DSP operation.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris.
- Cable Connections: Periodically check all cable connections for secure fit and signs of wear.
- Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure it is in a dry, dust-free environment.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cord disconnected; faulty outlet; internal fuse. | Check power cord connection; try a different outlet; contact service if fuse is suspected. |
| No sound output | Input/output cables incorrect; level controls too low; protection mode active. | Verify all cable connections; increase level controls; check PROTECT LED (if lit, power cycle unit). |
| Distorted sound | Input signal too high; speaker impedance mismatch; faulty speaker. | Reduce input signal level; verify speaker impedance matches amplifier; test with different speakers. |
| Unit overheats | Blocked ventilation; excessive load. | Ensure clear airflow around the unit; reduce output level or load. |
