Care and Maintenance

Periodic maintenance
Your Emotiva X-Ref 12 DSP Powered Subwoofer is factory adjusted and requires no
periodic maintenance.
Cleaning the cabinet and baffle
• The cabinet of the X-Ref 12 should normally be cleaned with a rag dampened with
plain water. DO NOT spray water directly onto or into the woofer or cabinet and DO
NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners. Gently dry the surface with a clean soft rag
after cleaning.
• If necessary, use a mild detergent, wipe the surface with a rag dampened with plain
water afterwards to rinse it, and then gently dry the surface with a clean soft rag.
• If something nasty does get on the sides or top of your X-Ref 12, use a rag
dampened with a weak solution of dish detergent or other mild cleaning liquid,
followed by a rag dampened with plain water, and then dry with a clean rag. Avoid
applying cleaning liquid to the front baffle.
Cleaning the grill
• If necessary, remove the grill and gently clean it with a vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning the woofer
• If something gets spattered on the cone or surround of the woofer driver, it may be
carefully cleaned with a dampened rag. Be careful to avoid excessive pressure.
Changing a fuse
If the fuse blows, ALWAYS REPLACE IT WITH ONE OF THE SAME SIZE,
•
RATING, AND TYPE; NEVER USE A FUSE OF HIGHER RATING.
If the fuse blows repeatedly, or you have any doubts, CONTACT EMOTIVA
•
TECHNICAL SUPPORT. (If there is any doubt, first verify that your AC power
source is the correct voltage.)
• BEFORE CHANGING THE FUSE, UNPLUG THE UNIT!
• To change the fuse, use a screwdriver to release the fuse holder. The fuse holder is
the little plate with the picture of a fuse on it (which is part of the IEC power cord
receptacle). First remove the power cord. Then pry up on the edge of the plate
nearest the power cord opening, and the fuse holder will slide out like a drawer.
Replace the fuse with one of the same size, rating, and type and carefully replace
the fuse holder (be sure to press firmly so it locks into place).
