2.3 CONNECTING A PASSIVE
(NON-POWERED) SUBWOOFER
This mode only supports subwoofers rated at 8 Ohms or higher.
Bridged Mode increases the amplifier power available for a single
speaker. This function is designed for passive subwoofers that
require external amplification and can be enabled using the
below method:
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 of the subwoofer to the positive
() contact on the Euroblock connector as indicated by
the printing located on the X-500 (below the connector).
4. Connect the black (-) connection of the subwoofer to the
negative (Bridge -) contact on the Euroblock connector as
indicated by the printing located on the X-500 (below the
connector).
5. After attaching subwoofer wires to the Euroblock connector,
insert it into the X-500 by gently pressing it into place.
2.4 CONNECTING DUAL DEFIANCE
CUSTOM IN-WALL SUBWOOFERS
For maximum performance, Paradigm recommends using an
X-500 for each subwoofer in the system. When running 2 sub-
woofers from a single amplifier is required, the X-500 can drive
dual subs in a “bridged parrallel” configuration. Note: This con-
figuration is only recommended with Paradigm Defiance
Custom In-Wall subwoofers and you must use the “Dual Sub-
woofer DSP Preset Profiles” as outlined in the DSP Profile
Section.
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 of each subwoofer to the pos-
itive () contact on the Euroblock connector as indicat-
ed by the printing located on the X-500 (below the connector).
4. Connect the black (-) connection of each subwoofer to the
negative (Bridge -) contact on the Euroblock connector as
indicated by the printing located on the X-500 (below the
connector).
5. After attaching subwoofer wires to the Euroblock connector,
insert it into the X-500 by gently pressing it into place.
