2. CONNECTIONS AND BACK PANEL CONTROLS
2.1 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Depending on the level of the input signal, the voltage
at the outputs can be high enough to cause electric
shock — be sure that power is off when connecting or
disconnecting anything. As well, be sure to use
speakers rated for use with this X-500 — an overdriven
speaker can pose a fire hazard.
X-500 offers options to power either a stereo pair of speakers
(or a system like the Paradigm Garden Essentials Outdoor Music
System), or a passive subwoofer (custom install subwoofer).
When powering a custom installation subwoofer, the X-500 can
be configured in “bridged mode” which combines the output
of both amplifier channels in order to provide this speaker with
more power.
2.2 CONNECTING STEREO SPEAKERS
(or Paradigm Garden Oasis Essentials Outdoor Music System)
Connect a pair of speakers to the X-500 using a Euroblock (also
known as a Phoenix
TM
) connector. These connectors are included
with the X-500 and come preinstalled.
Euroblock connectors accept speaker wire up to 12 gauge. Use
speakers as low as 4 Ohms in this configuration.
1. Remove the Euroblock connector from the X-500 by gently
pulling it until it releases.
2. Use a small slotted screwdriver to loosen and tighten each
contact on the Euroblock when inserting the speaker wire.
3. Connect the red (+) connection on the left speaker to
the positive (L+) contact on the Euroblock connector as
indicated by the printing located on the X-500 (above
the connector) or on the connector itself.
4. Connect the black (-) connection on the left speaker to
the negative (L-) contact on the Euroblock connector as
indicated by the printing located on the X-500 (above the
connector) or on the connector itself.
5. Repeat for the right channel.
6. After attaching speaker wires to the Euroblock connector,
insert it into the X-500 by gently pressing it into place.
