Speaker Connection - Russound X5 Installation Manual

Speaker Output Connections
CAUTION:
Do not connect L- and R- together. Use four-conductor cable and wire
each ground individually. Do not use a common ground. Shorting between
terminals will cause damage to the digital amplifi er.
The XStream™ X5 supports speaker outputs for one room of audio. The 50
watt per channel stereo speaker level outputs have high-current two-channel
digital amplifi ers. Each speaker connection requires a 4 to 8-ohm load.
The speakers connect to the XStream™ X5 using the supplied modular snap
speaker connector. Each of these color coded connectors is designated for the
speaker pair connected in that room.
Strip 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) off the end of each speaker cable jacket. Then
strip 1/4 inch (0.7 cm) of insulation off each wire. Twist the speaker wire strands
together so there are no strands separated from the bundle.
Lift the lever for each connection until it's fully open and insert the proper
speaker wire, matching polarity for all four wires. Snap the lever down. Check
to make sure there are no stray strands of wire outside the terminals. If there
are, remove the wire, twist the strands together, and reconnect the wire to the
terminal. Insert the modular connector into its designated output on the back
of the XStream™ X5.
The XStream™ X5 has RCA line outs for expansion. Use the RCA outputs
to connect A-BUS hubs, larger amplifi ers or multichannel amplifi ers. These
connections are set as fi xed or variable output through SCS software.
The X5 also off ers a subwoofer output connection. This connection is
crossover at 120Hz and is used with active subwoofers when more bass is
desired
