1. Placement
First, place the subwoofer at the intended location.
With the XW-800 slim, there are the following possibilities:
Flat
The XW-800 slim was primarily developed as a downfire subwoofer for
hidden use under furniture. Therefore, it is equipped with metal rails on
the underside to create the necessary clearance.
Notes: Be careful not to damage the cables and the rubber feet
on the underside of the metal rails when you slide the subwoofer
over the floor.
Upright
As an alternative to the setup as a downfire subwoofer, the XW-800 slim
can also be placed upright. For example, it can be placed behind a sofa.
The metal rails ensure sufficient distance to the wall or the back of the
sofa also in this setup. The placement can be done either horizontally or
vertically.
Notes:
• Make sure that nothing can get inside the subwoofer through the bass
reflex port!
• To prevent scratching of the subwoofer and the floor, the supplied elas-
tic buffers should be attached to the contact surface of the subwoofer
towards the floor! Attach the elastic buffers to the outermost corners of
the subwoofer to ensure a stable stand!
Wall mounted
The subwoofer can also be installed hanging on a wall both vertically or
horizontally. No accessories are required for regular on-wall installation,
as there are keyhole hangers integrated in the mounting rails.
Use screws with a diameter of 5 mm for mounting!
Mounting in landscape format: Install screws at a distance of 480 mm.
Mounting in portrait format: Install screws at a distance of 166 mm.
Notes:
• Due to the high power of the subwoofer, the wall and the mounting
elements are exposed to strong vibrations and mechanical loads.
Therefore, proceed with extreme care when mounting the subwoofer
on a wall! The installation can only be recommended for solid, strong
walls that can withstand this load. We do not recommend mounting
on drywall, as it tends to absorb the vibrations.
• Make sure that nothing can get inside the subwoofer through the bass
reflex port!
• Ceiling installation is not possible!
Risk of injury or damage!
A falling subwoofer can cause serious injuries and damage.
• Only use fasteners and screws that are suitable for your specific wall type.
• Make sure that the subwoofer is solidly mounted.
• Be careful not to install the subwoofer where it is possible for it to fall
onto people! In particular, do not install the subwoofer at a height of
more than two meters without further measures.
