Operation

Once you have decided upon a location for your X-Ref 12 DSP Powered Subwoofer,  and 

connected and configured it and all associated equipment, operation is very simple.
•  Plug your X-Ref 12 into a grounded electrical outlet of appropriate voltage.  

(The X-Ref 12 will automatically switch between 110-120 VAC and 220-240 VAC.)

•  Connect a signal source to either the unbalanced (RCA) or balanced (XLR) input on 

the rear panel of the X-Ref 12.

•  Place the Power switch on the rear panel of the X-Ref 12 in the On position.
•  Immerse yourself in the music!
In general, once your X-Ref 12 is properly connected and configured, no explicit control 

by the user is required.

Rotary encoder and back lit LCD display

The push-to-engage rotary encoder (located on the top panel of the X-Ref 10) is used 

to enter or change configuration information; the encoder is active when the display 

is lit. The encoder is made of a soft rubber material, and rotates when gentle pressure 

is applied. In general, the encoder is rotated to change a displayed value, and pressed 

like a button to accept a value or enter a command. You will probably find it easiest to 

rotate the encoder using your thumb and one finger positioned on the top surface near 

two opposite sides; you can press the center or the entire top surface. The display and 

encoder will disengage and “sleep” if idle for a short time, but will remain active if you 

pause while in the middle of a configuration sequence. A single press of the encoder 

will activate the display and engage the encoder when it is off.

Status display

The X-Ref 12 includes a small status LED towards the top of the rear panel. When the 

X-Ref 12 is powered on, but no signal is present, this LED will glow red to indicate that 

the X-Ref 12 is in low-power Standby mode. When signal is present and the subwoofer 

is operating, or when the LCD display is in use, this LED will glow green. 

Automatic switching

When the Power switch is in the On position, the X-Ref 12 will wait in Standby mode 

until a signal is present at either input, at which point it will turn on. After several 

minutes with no signal, the X-Ref 12 will return to Standby mode. 

Movie EQ Trigger

If the X-Ref 12’s Movie EQ trigger is connected to a pre/processor, a boost in low bass 

of about +6 dB at 45 Hz will be activated wh12 V is present on the trigger 

input.
