2.5 DIGITAL INPUT
Stereo digital audio sources can be connected using coaxial or
optical cables. The X-500 has one digital optical input, and one
digital coaxial input. Both of these inputs support the PCM stereo
format (up to 24-bit / 96kHz). If using sources that have an option
for selecting between PCM and Bitstream (or Dolby Digital) audio
output, select PCM. If the source outputs a non-PCM stream
(such as a Dolby or DTS stream), the audio will mute.
Using the DIP switch on the back of the X-500 (See image on
Pg. 7) you can select either the Coax or Optical inputs, but only
1 may be used at a time.
2.6 ANALOG INPUTS
Connect stereo analog sources using RCA cables.
2.7 SUBWOOFER INPUT
The X-500 has multiple subwoofer preset configurations to sim-
plify connection to an AV Receiver or AV Preamp (or source com-
ponent) with a subwoofer output. Connect the subwoofer output
of your preamp/processor/source using an RCA cable to either
the Analog RCA (R — right), Analog RCA (L — left), or Subwoofer
Input. The Analog RCA (R — right), Analog RCA (L — left) inputs
will pass through a low-pass filter before being passed to the am-
plifier. The Subwoofer Input signal is passed directly to the ampli-
fier. If needed, all three RCA inputs can be used simultaneously.
2.8 POWER
Insert a power cord into the X-500’s AC input. Plug the cord into
a wall outlet. Ensure that the AC supply matches the voltage
rating shown on the back of the X-500.
2.9 TRIGGER CONNECTIONS
The trigger connection allows the X-500 to be turned on or
off via the trigger input. When the Trig In 3.5mm (1/8”) mini-
jack receives power (5–24 volts DC or AC) from an upstream
component, the X-500 turns on (Auto-On delay applies). When it
stops receiving power, the X-500 turns off immediately. The Trig
Out jack allows you to run a cable out to daisy-chain and trigger
additional X-500’s or another component that uses a trigger in.
The trigger out on the X-500 passes through the signal received
from the trigger input.
2.10 MASTER POWER SWITCH
This switch is wired directly to the AC mains and turns on and off
all power going to the X-500.
2.11 USB CONNECTION
A USB connection is present for updating the DSP presets
available on the amplifier. Instructions for updating the DSP
presets will be provided with the DSP Update file. This connection
can otherwise be ignored.
3. DSP PRESETS
The X-500 is loaded with a variety of DSP presets to both
improve performance of the speaker, but also to protect it from
being overdriven by the amplifier.
DSP preset availability will change over time, and can be updated
via the USB connection on the back of the amplifier. For the most
up to date list of presets, please refer to the X-500 product page
on paradigm.com.
Using the bank of dip switches on the back of the amplifier you
may choose from the following DSP preset options:
3.1 DIP Switch Functionality
Pin1: SPDIF select. Optical/Coaxial
Pins 2-5: 16 groups of EQ presets
ex: Pins 2-6: 00000=EQ0
ex: Pins 2-6: 10000=EQ16
ex: Pins 2-6: 11111=EQ31
