Introduction

8” Full range loudspeaker cabinet

The XENO series is a loudspeaker range specifically designed for fixed audio installations

in modern environments, offering two different sizes of contemporary and elegant

designed products. What makes them so unique is their full-range audio design, allowing

them to be used without additional an bass cabinet.

The XENO 8 is the 8” version, equipped with a 1” dome tweeter and a 8” Mid / Low

frequency driver, ensuring a high-fidelity sound. This wooden cabinet is fitted with a

slim and elegant front grill.

This makes the loudspeaker suitable for environments where the music is the key

element, but without making any compromises on its design.

This ranges from modern and trendy clubs to pubs and dance bars where that little extra

punch and depth in the music is appreciated. The sleek and elegant design guarantees

the loudspeaker to blend in with any environment.

It delivers a powerful full-range sound with an RMS rating of 120 Watt, and a maximum

of 240 Watt. The advanced integrated protection circuit avoids the tweeter from suffering

damage in case of overload. The included mounting bracket makes it possible to mount

the loudspeaker in both horizontal and vertical position, making it suitable for every

application.

The connections can be made on the rear side of the loudspeaker with a Euro Terminal

Block connector.

All Xeno series speakers are available in Black (/B) or White (/W).

Installing the XENO

Revolving mounting bracket

Every XENO speaker is standard delivered with a two-way revolving bracket, making it

possible to install the speaker at each location and focusing it into the desired direction.

By using this bracket you can install the loudspeaker both in a horizontal and vertical way.

The vertical installation method provides an additional advantage when the installation

height on the wall or ceiling is limited by focussing the loudspeaker more directly downwards.

The two-way revolving bracket is made out of extra strong zinc-alloy material which

ensures a solid and secure mounting of the loudspeaker. One horizontal and one vertical

revolving point ensure easy focusing of the loudspeaker into any direction.

To realise an optimal installation, distribution of the forces on the revolving points and

freedom in focusing of the loudspeaker, it is recommended to install the swivel points of the

loudspeaker in a way that the revolving point on the wall plate is positioned in a horizontal

direction and the revolving point on the speaker plate is positioned in a vertical direction.

The speaker plate has to be be fixed to the loudspeaker cabinet by inserting the 4

supplied mounting screws into the pre-drilled and threaded holes at the back of the

speaker cabinet.

The wall plate has to be fixed to the wall by four screws. The fasteners that are

used, depend on the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, ...). The holes should

be provided in a quadrangular shape with a mutual distance of 45 mm, as shown in

following drawing:

Rotatable logo

Depending on the mounting direction of the loudspeaker (either horzontally or vertically),

the logo on the front grill of the loudspeaker that is held in place by a spring loaded

mechanism can be rotated into the direction the speaker is mounted.

By placing a flat object between the logo and the recessed surface in the grill and the

logo, the logo will move forward because of the spring loaded mechanism and can be

rotated into the right position.

Connecting

For connecting the XENO loudspeaker, the wires coming

from the amplifier have to be connected to the 4-pin

Terminal Block connector at the back of the unit. The

wires coming from the amplifier have to be connected to

the ‘In +’ and ‘In -’ terminals. The other two terminals

‘Out +’ and ‘Out -’ can be used for linking the signal

coming from the amplifier to other loudspeakers,

resulting in a parallel network of multiple loudspeakers.

Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables.
