TRIPLE-X170 PSU INSTALLATION
Issue 2: 19th October 2006
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TRIPLE-
X170.
The TRIPLE-X170 is an upgrade Power Supply Unit. It
increases the power of your X-T100 to 85+85 wpc and
improves its peak current. The TRIPLE-X170 PSU will
power the X-T100, X-RAYV8 and X-PLORAV8
simultaneously. The unit will therefore control power to
all units connected to it through one on/off switch, and
only needs one wall socket for up to three separate
components.
The TRIPLE-X170 case fully complements our compact
integrated X-V8 hi-fi range, powering a set of our mini-
separates from one convenient box.
As the supply is separated from the amplifier, CD player
and tuner, it gives unprecedented improvement in noise
performance.
INSTALLATION
Position the TRIPLE-X170 PSU on a stable, horizontal
surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or
subjected to vibration such as from loudspeakers.
CONNECTIONS
Outputs: With the unit switched off, connect your
components to the XLR, on the back panel, as indicated:
6-pin connector for XT-100 amplifier
5-pin connector for X-RAY V8 player
4 pin connector for X-PLORA V8 tuner
The connectors should seat securely with a gentle click
when they are properly connected.
Please note the connectors have differing numbers of
pins to avoid confusion.
WARNING: Do not force any connector, or attempt to
connect any component to the wrong connector.
Once all components are connected to the power supply
unit, wire them as required with interconnect cables, and
check wiring.
Connect the unit to the mains using supplied lead.
Switching on the power supply unit should light the
front panel power LED and the connected components
should all come on. The setup is then ready for use.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains
switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist
cloth. We do not advise using solvents, white spirit or
thinners as they could damage the surface finish
UPGRADE PATH
Early in 2007, another interesting new X-V8 series
product is coming:
The X-DACV8 is a super-performance Digital to
Analogue Converter with a tube output. Its
performance is verging on state-of-the-art and sounds
extraordinary. The X-DACV8 is self-powered and also
has power supply outlets for the X-RAYV8 and X-
PLORAV8. When the X-RAYV8 is paired with the X-
DACV8, what you have is a mini KW25 system (the
KW25 Transport/DAC received incredible reviews
which recon it’s probably the best CD player ever).
