1. For additional connection information, refer to the
owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected
to the XCS200 Loudspeaker.
2. The XCS200’s built-in speaker protection incorpo-
rates three automatic resetting solid-state devices
in the crossover networks. One protects the tweet-
ers, one for the midranges and one for the woofers.
The protection allows a certain amount of over-
drive but extended periods will trigger protection.
If an obvious lack of high, mid or low frequencies
is noticed, the Protection Device may have acti-
vated. These devices will automatically reset when
the volume level is reduced significantly and kept
low until the output of the affected Loudspeaker
Element returns to normal.
3. When the XCS200 Loudspeaker System is driven
by more than one amplifier, the output levels of the
different amplifiers connected to the Loudspeaker
System must be adjusted to achieve a proper bal-
ance between the low, midrange and high frequen-
cies reproduced. This adjustment is best achieved
through the use of audio test equipment operated
by a qualified installer.
4. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules
or regulations. Batteries should never be
thrown away or incinerated but disposed
of in accordance with the local regula-
tions concerning battery disposal.
