Speaker Connection - Russound XStream 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 amplifier.
The XStream™ X5 supports speaker outputs for one room of audio. The 50 watt
per channel stereo speaker level outputs are powered by a high-current two-
channel digital amplifiers. Each speaker connection requires a 4 to 8-ohm load.
The speakers connect to the XStream™ X5 using the supplied modular snap
speaker connector.
Make sure the X5 is powered off before making any speaker connections in
order to prevent shorts and possible damage to your equipment.
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 amplifiers or multichannel amplifiers. These
connections are set as fixed or variable output through SCS software.
The X5 also offers a subwoofer output connection. This connection has a
crossover at 120Hz and is used with active subwoofers when more bass is
desired.
