CONFIGURING YOUR AMPLIFIER

IMPORTANT! Before setting up your system be sure to read all Safety Precautions and Safety and Operating Instructions included at the beginning of this manual.

The following chart indicates the quantity of corresponding subwoofoers that can safely be matched with your amplifier. Follow the chart to achieve optimal sound:

AMPLIFIER MODEL	SUBWOOFER MODEL AND QUANTITY
One X-300 Amplifier:	2 to 4 Paradigm® PCS subwooers or 1 Paradigm® Reference RVC subwoofer
One X-850 Amplifier:	Up to 2 Paradigm® Reference RVC subwooers

WARNING: The following three procedures are imperative for correct system setup. Failure to follow the instructions that apply to your setup will result in permanent damage to amplifier and subwoofer. Such damage is NOT covered under the Paradigm warranty.

1.Using Your Amplifier with a Reference'RVC Subwoofer:

To prevent damage to amplifier or subwoofer, the Impedance Matching Switch on your 'Reference' RVC subwoofer's baffle must be correctly positioned (Fig. 2).

2.Using an X-300 Amplifier:

To prevent damage to amplifier or subwoofer and ensure optimal sound, the 3-Position "EQ" Switch on the X-300's rear panel must be correctly positioned for use with or without a Paradigm® Backbox (sold separately). Toggle to the setting that matches your setup (Fig. 3):

Setting 1: Use this setting with:

All PCS Series subwoofoers with or without a backbox or
One RVC-12SQ subwoofer without a backbox

Setting 2: Use this setting with:
One RVC-12CF subwoofer with or without a backbox

Setting 3: Use this setting with:
One RVC-12SQ subwoofer with a backbox

NOTE: These settings are also displayed on your amplifier's back panel.

3. Setup CD included with your X-850 Amplifier:

Your X-850 amplifier comes with a Setup CD that allows you to configure your subwoofer for optimal sound. Install the software and perform the setup before connecting your amplifier to the subwoofer.

Installing the Software:

(PC requirements are Windows XP or Vista; USB port)

1. Insert the Setup CD into your computer's CD or DVD drive. Installation instructions will appear on your screen. If your computer does not allow a CD to 'auto-run', double-click on the 'My Computer' icon on your computer desktop and select the CD drive, open it and double-click on setup.exe.
2. The installation process will install several files into a Paradigm folder on your computer and create shortcuts on your Start Menu. Locate the shortcut on the Start Menu (under the Paradigm folder). Shortcut name will be 'X-850 Configurator.' Launch the application.
3. You will be presented with a list of options for setup, select the one that matches your setup and follow the instructions on the screen.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The "Watts" (W) rating indicated on the amplifier's rear panel is the typical power your amplifier will draw during normal use. However, when producing its maximum power output, the actual wattage draw will vary with the bass content of the program material—more if there is a lot of deep bass, less when there is not as much bass.

WANT TO USE MORE THAN ONE X-850 AMPLIFIER? In this case, we recommend connecting each amplifier to its own AC circuit.

THERMAL PROTECTION: X-Series amplifiers are equipped with a thermal protection feature. In the event of loss of output wait for automatic reset.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

IMPORTANT! Before proceeding with this section, be sure to read all Safety Precautions and Safety and Operating Instructions included at the beginning of this manual.

NOTE: Speakers set to "Large" with your processor or A/V receiver will still be reproducing bass frequencies—be careful not to overdrive them!

We recommend the use of high-quality cables and connectors. (See your Dealer for more information.)

Turn all components OFF before connecting the amplifier.

This Owners Manual applies to more than one Paradigm® X-Series amplifier. Connection options vary by model. Examine your amplifier's rear panel to

determine the input(s) that apply to your model, then choose the one that best suits your needs.

Input Facilities

Line-Level RCA Input (Figs. 4a - 4b)

1. Mono Input (Left, Right, or Sub-Out) connects from the RCA (S/E) Sub/ LFE-Output of your Preamplifier/Processor, A/V Receiver or other suitable line-level source (Fig. 4a).
2. Stereo Input (Left & Right) connects from the Stereo Preamplifier, Stereo Receiver or other suitable line-level stereo source (Fig. 4b).

NOTE: DO NOT use RCA-compatible connectors that have a hollow center pin with a hole at the tip—inserting these into the amplifier's RCA jacks can cause internal damage.

Line-Level Input—Balanced XLR (Fig. 5)

Connects from the Balanced XLR Sub/LFE Output of your Preamplifier/ Processor, A/V Receiver or other suitable line-level source. This input provides the lowest noise and distortion possible. It is particularly important for long cable runs where noise and distortion could degrade performance.

The USB Port

The X-850 amplifier has a USB port, it will allow for:

• Configuring your system for optimal sound with or without a Paradigm® Backbox (sold separately), using the setup CD included with amplifier;

Future upgrades to software installed in your subwoofer;
- Use with the Paradigm Perfect Bass Kit ™ Digital Room Correction system (sold separately).

Output Facilities and Connection Options

SUB 1 Output and SUB 2 Output (Figs. 6a - 6c)

Connecting Two PCS Subwoofer (Fig. 6a): Connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 1 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 1 (-) Output. For second subwoofer, connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 2 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 2 (-) Output.

Connecting Four PCS Subwoofoers (Fig. 6a): Connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 1 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 1 (-) Output. For second subwoofer, connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 2 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 2 (-) Output. For third and fourth subwoofoers, repeat instructions in same order.

Connecting One RVC Subwoofer (Fig. 6b): Connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 1 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 1 (-) Output.

Connecting Two RVC Subwooers (Fig. 6c): Connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 1 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 1 (-) Output. For second subwoofer, connect Red (+) speaker cable to positive SUB 2 (+) Output and Black (-) speaker cable to SUB 2 (-) Output.

NOTE: If you are connecting more than two RVC subwoofoers you will require an additional X-850 amplifier, connected to its own AC circuit.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION (continued)

Control Facilities

This Owners Manual applies to more than one X-Series amplifier. Examine your amplifier's front and rear panels and place a check mark in the box beside each facility listed below that applies to your model. Before you begin to fine tune your system, read through the control descriptions and become familiar with them.

Auto-On/Off

Eliminates need for a manually operated power switch. Turns the subwoofer on when there is an input signal. If no input signal is sensed after a period of 20 minutes the subwoofer will turn off automatically.

Trigger-In

Allows power on/off to be controlled remotely by components that have trigger outputs.

Subwoofer Level

Balances the subwoofer's output level with the other speakers in your system. Once set, to make on-the-fly changes for particular program material or personal taste, use your Processor's or A/V Receiver's subwoofer level control.

Subwoofer Cut-Off with Bypass Option

Controls the subwoofer's upper-frequency cut-off. This can be set to match the low-frequency roll-off characteristics of your system's speakers. For example: If your speakers play to approximately 80Hz , you can set the subwoofer cut-off frequency to approximately 80Hz . If you are using an external subwoofer cut-off control, set this control to "Bypass".

Bypass option allows you to bypass the subwoofer's built-in cut-off control to let your preamp/processor's or receiver's internal bass management system provide the crossover function.

Phase Alignment

Depending on where the subwoofer is placed in your room, there may be bass frequency cancellation. This can occur because your subwoofer and front speakers are out-of-phase—they work against each other through their frequency overlap region. Bass is then reduced and may even sound disjointed. This control accurately synchronizes your subwoofer and front speakers through their bass frequency overlap region.

FINE TUNING

When fine tuning your subwoofer to best integrate with the rest of your system use music and video soundtracks that you know well. They should contain selections with extended bass that is continuous and repetitive.

Assess subwoofer bass output for best blend with your main speakers. It should not be overbearing or draw attention to itself, nor should it be thin and difficult to hear. It should add "weight" and "punch" to the overall sound and keep pace with your main speakers.

If you are using a receiver, preamplifier or preamp/processor with tone controls, set them to flat (i.e. "0") and switch loudness controls off.

Some subwoofer locations may result in bass frequency cancellations. If bass sounds dislocated or weak, adjust the phase according to the Phase Alignment Control instructions that follow.

Setting Subwoofer Controls

For convenience, the Subwoofer Controls are located on the front panel of the amplifier. You will require a standard slothead screwdriver (not included) to adjust these controls:

1. Turn the Subwoofer Level control completely counter-clockwise to its minimum;
2. Turn the Subwoofer Cut-off Frequency control to its highest frequency (i.e. 150Hz );
3. Turn the Phase Alignment control to 0^ (completely counter-clockwise);
4. Listen to a bass music or video selection while seated in your primary listening area and have an assistant turn up the Subwoofer Level control until the subwoofer can be clearly heard;

5. Have an assistant slowly rotate the Phase Alignment control until you hear the most bass. Your subwoofer and front speakers are now in phase. Do not change phase alignment again unless you move the subwoofer or front speakers to a different location in your room, or move or remove any large items of furniture or room furnishings (i.e. carpet, draperies, etc.);

6. Turn the Subwoofer Level control completely counter-clockwise to its minimum;

7. Turn the Subwoofer Cut-off Frequency control to its lowest frequency (i.e. 50 Hz);
8. Slowly rotate the Subwoofer Level control until you match the subwoofer's volume with the volume of your front speakers. Bass should be clearly audible, but not intrusive;

OPTIONAL BYPASS FEATURE: If you are using an A/V receiver or processor to control crossover setting, skip the next step and simply set the subwoofer cut-off frequency control to "Bypass".

1. Slowly rotate the Subwoofer Cut-off Frequency control until you hear the best subwoofer/front speaker blend. If the sound is too thin you have not set the frequency high enough; if the sound becomes boomy you have set the frequency too high. Adjust until you find the most natural bass balance.
2. Attach glass faceplate to front panel.
