connections

XLS-28, XLS-12, XLS-15, and XLS-215

1)Fuse Holder

2)Midrange and Tweeter Input 5-Way Binding Posts (Red=+, Black + -)

3)Jumper Straps

4)Woofer Input 5 Way-Binding Posts (Red=+, Black + -)

Normal wiring: In this method, one pair of speaker wire is used with one speaker and one amplifier channel. This method is used in the majority of applications.

Connection: Attach speaker wires to either the Midrange and Tweeter Input (2) or the Woofer Input (4) 5-way Binding Posts making sure to leave the Jumpers Straps (3) in place. Connect the other end of the speaker wires to your Receiver or Amplifiers speaker output terminals (see your Receiver or Amplifiers owners manuals for details on this connection). Make sure to observe correct polarity (Red = +, Black = -) when making these connections.

Bi-wiring:In this method, two pairs of speaker wire are used with one speaker and one amplifier channel.

Connection: Remove the Jumper Straps (3) and retain for possible future use. Attach one set of speaker wires to the Midrange and Tweeter Input (2) 5-way Binding Posts. Next connect a second set of speaker wires to the Woofer Input (4) 5-way Binding Posts. Connect the other ends of the speaker wires to your Receiver or Amplifiers speaker output terminals (see your Receiver or Amplifiers owners manual for details on this connection). Make sure to observe correct polarity (Red = +, Black = -) when making these connections.

Important: The XLS-6 and XLS-6C cannot be bi-wired.

Wiring note: We recommend that you discuss Normal, Bi-Wiring, or Bi-Amplifying options with your Authorized Cerwin-Vega! Dealer and for recommendation on appropiate wire.

XLS-6 and XLS-6C

1)Full range Binding Post

Wiring: One pair of speaker wire is used with one speaker and one amplifier channel.

Impedance:

All CV XLS home speakers are compatible with amplifier ratings from 4 to 8 ohms. If your amplifier is rated at 4 or 6 ohms, you can generally play the speaker as loud and as hard as you want and the energy transfer between the amplifier and your Cerwin-Vega! speaker will be optimal. If using an 8-ohm amplifier, you can play loud, but monitor your amplifier’s temperature if you start playing at extreme volume levels, as the speaker may want to suck more power from your amp than it can provide.

Fuse: Replace only with the correct type and voltage fuse. Failure to replace with the correct type and value can result in driver failure that is not covered under your warranty.

XLS specifications

Cerwin-Vega has carved out a prominent niche in the audio industry, notable for their high-performance speakers designed for both home use and professional applications. One of their standout products is the Cerwin-Vega XLS series, which embodies the brand's commitment to quality sound and advanced technology.

The Cerwin-Vega XLS speakers are engineered to deliver robust bass and exceptional clarity, making them an ideal choice for music enthusiasts and movie lovers alike. One of the main features of the XLS series is its powerful bass response, achieved through large drivers and a well-designed cabinet. The speakers utilize Cerwin-Vega's proprietary technology, including a high-efficiency 12-inch or 15-inch woofer, which emphasizes low-frequency reproduction without sacrificing midrange and high-frequency clarity.

The XLS series also incorporates advanced speaker design elements such as a vented enclosure system. This design minimizes distortion by allowing sound waves to move freely, creating a more natural and balanced audio experience. Furthermore, the use of high-quality crossover components ensures that each driver in the speaker operates in its optimal frequency range, leading to a seamless blending of sounds across the spectrum.

Another characteristic that sets the Cerwin-Vega XLS speakers apart is their robust construction. The cabinets are made from high-density MDF, which enhances durability while also reducing unwanted resonance. The finish options, including black vinyl and wood veneer, provide aesthetic versatility, allowing them to blend seamlessly with various home décors.

Connectivity is also a strong point for the XLS series, featuring versatile binding posts that accommodate various cable types. This flexibility ensures that users can integrate the speakers into different audio setups with ease.

In summary, the Cerwin-Vega XLS series offers a powerful and immersive audio experience backed by cutting-edge technology and solid construction. Whether used for music playback, home theater applications, or live sound reinforcement, the XLS speakers deliver a performance that enthusiasts and professionals can appreciate, making them a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking high-quality sound. With a reputation built on decades of expertise, Cerwin-Vega continues to impress with the XLS series, offering audio solutions that resonate with power and clarity.
