Emotiva X-Ref - Manual (Page 10)

Quick Start
To get the most from your X-Ref loudspeakers, we urge you to read the entire manual. If
you just can’t wait to hear how great your X-Ref loudspeakers sound, this section will cover
the basics you need to get started.
• Find a secure location for your X-Ref loudspeakers.
• Before using the X-Ref Tower models, attach the base plates with the included screws.
If you’re using them on a soft surface (like carpet), we strongly suggest using the carpet
points (also included).
• If you’re using the X-Ref Center/LCR Monitors vertically (as monitors or mains), place
them on speaker stands, strong shelves, or other secure locations. Consider using
decoupling pads to reduce vibration and prevent slipping.
• If you’re using your X-Ref Center/LCR Monitors as Centers, we suggest using the
(optional) center stands offered by Emotiva. The stands are attractive, include foam
pads to provide a secure non-slip base and protect against damage to the finish, and
offer the option of tilting the speaker slightly up or down.
• Place the X-Ref Monitors on speaker stands or shelves, or attach them to mounting
brackets of proper capacity.
• XRS Surrounds are typically placed on shelves or attached to rear or side walls (using
the included mounting plates).
• Connect your X-Ref Series speakers to your power amp or receiver using good quality
speaker cables.
• Find some music you really like to listen to.
• Enjoy!
While you’re enjoying your X-Ref speakers, it would be a great time to read the rest of the
manual to learn more about them.
