The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
Le symbole éclair avec point de flèche à l’intérieur d’un triangle équilatéral est utilisé
pour alerter l’utilisateur de la presence à l’intérieur du coffret de “voltage dangereux”
non isolé d’ampleur suffisante pour constituer un risque d’éléctrocution.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Class B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out
in radio interference regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
ATTENTION – Le présent appareil numérique
n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant las
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de
class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le

ongratulations on your purchase of an NXG
NX-BAS-500 powered subwoofer. It will give
your stereo, or home theater system unparal-
leled low frequency output.
Bass frequencies are critical to realistic sound
reproduction. After you’ve hooked up your NX-
BAS-500 subwoofer, you’ll discover just how
much “punch” and depth you’ve been missing.
No matter what kind of music or videos you lis-
ten to... whether you listen to it loud or soft, you’ll
experience sound that’s richer and fuller. Bass
guitar and string bass will have more impact.
You’ll be able to FEEL as well as hear percus-
sion – just the way you would at a live perfor-
mance. If you have an audio/video system,
movies will come alive with thunderous sound
effects that were never possible without the NX-
BAS-500.
The NX-BAS-500 is a self-powered subwoofer
that frees your receiver or power amplifier from
the power demands of reproducing very low
frequencies. To do this, the NX-BAS-500 incor-
porates its own built-in crossover system that
automatically “assigns” lower frequencies to its
own power amplifier, contained within the sub-
woofer enclosure.
The NX-BAS-500 has been meticulously
designed and tested to insure high perfor-
mance, durability and longevity.
This manual is designed to take you step-by-
step through the hook-up and operating
process. This procedure is not difficult, but it
IS
slightly different than hooking up a line level
component such as a cassette deck or DVD
player. Reading this manual carefully will
insure that you get maximum performance
from your NX-BAS-500.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TABLE OF CONTENTS
A. UNPACKING
Remove the NX-BAS-500 from its packing
carefully and inspect it for any shipping damage.
If you discover damage, contact your NXG deal-
er or installer immediately.
If possible, save the carton and internal pack-
ing. It’s the best possible protection for your
NX-BAS-500 if you need to move it or return it
for service.
Keep your sales receipt in a secure place.
It
helps establish the duration of your warranty
and is good for insurance purposes (just in case
anything happens to your stereo/home theater
system).
