Rear Panel Features
1.
Ethernet LAN port
- This standard
port allows the RS 500 to be connect-
ed to a 10 Base T network via CAT 5
cabling. The unit can be controlled
using it’s internal web server, acces-
sible through standard and popular
(and some unpopular) web browsers.
No external software is required to run
the RS 500. See section on Internet
Connectivity and Control for detailed
information.
2.
Master reset button
– only use this
if you have forgotten your static IP
address or want to start over from
the factory default configuration. This
erases all of you customized setting.
Use this cautiously and only if you
are sure that you don’t need those
settings anymore
3.
Disable Front LED Bar
- The front
panel LED bar glows a blue lumines-
cence. This can be dimmed or turned
off via the soft cycle button. Simply
press the button to cycle the glow
intensity of the bar and the setting will
persist through on/off states.
4.
XLR Input
- This is the balanced XLR
input jack. Connect an XLR cable from
your Preamplifier (like the Maestro X7)
subwoofer XLR output to this input
5.
XLR loop output
- Use this balanced
XLR loop output to connect another
RS amplifier for added bass enhance
-
ment or neighbor bothering shenani-
gans. Especially when in a condo!
6.
LFE loop output
– use this to connect
to another RS amplifier
7.
LFE input
- Use this discrete LFE mono
input when your AVR (like the Concert
XR-8) has a dedicated unbalanced
(RCA) output.
8.
Stereo input
- When you have a stereo
output, connect to this unbalanced
stereo pair input first. This will allow
you to capture the stereo input signal
then pass that signal through the loop
outs
9.
Stereo loop output
- These RCA ste-
reo loop outputs allow you to connect
to your 2-channel amplifier (maybe a
Rialto 400 perhaps) to power your mid/
high speakers using the same signal
from the RCA input stage
10.
High pass
- Press this button in to
apply the high pass crossover to the
RCA loop outs so that your mids and
highs aren’t trying to do the work that
the prodigiously powerful RS amp is
already handling.
