    Please note that this unit is now supplied with front and rear panels in blue sparkle finish.

    The FW6000XL has all the facilities of the FW6000 but has an additional four IFB interrupt inputs which may be delegated to any or all of the unit's four wire outputs.


    Each channel's volume control may be selected via front panel push buttons to listen to either the channel four wire input or Interrupt input.

    Here is a view of the rear showing the IFB delegation.
