UNBOXING X4 & X5
X Series come in a telescoping-lid style carton that needs to be cut open and laid flat on the floor for further inspection. Two people are required for unboxing, wherein the upper half of foam packing is lifted off first followed by carefully lifting out the speaker from its lower section. The poly over-bag must then be removed along with any thin stretch film before use of product can begin safely.

SIGNAL CONNECTION

Insert the plug into the female Speakon jack located on the top surface of the aluminum crossover enclosure. ** Important** Turn the plug clockwise until it locks with a clicking sound. X5 & X3 Powered versions– Insert included IEC power cord plug into the power inlet jack on the plate amp face. Turn on main power amp before powering up plate amps. **Important** The plate amp must be turned off before your main power amp, if you power down your amp after listening sessions. To prevent any potential bass feedback from disrupting your listening experience, simply turn off the plate amps.

To get the most out of your X Series model's high-resolution capabilities, take care when setting up. Symmetrical distance from surrounding boundaries is recommended for optimal performance – a minimum 1 meter from front wall to baffle should do the trick. However, if location also coincides with an ideal modal spot in your room, further distancing may even enhance soundstage and other sonic traits. Ease into it by starting around that one metre mark - you'll know what suits best as soon as you hear them play! To find the ideal sound, start by letting your speakers break in for 24-36 hours. After that, move each speaker a foot closer and further back from their original position to identify any nodal points within the room - this is where bass will be at its loudest. Your end goal should aim for symmetry; measure an equal distance between both speakers' front walls and inside/outside baffles with a tape measure so they face your shoulders equally when finished. Unlock the best sound quality and experience possible by adjusting your toe-in angle over time.
