YOUR NEW SUBWOOFER

Break-In

Allow your Paradigm® Reference subwoofer system to operate for several hours before you listen critically.

Cleaning

Clean subwoofer housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner or get any part of the subwoofer wet.

If you wish to paint your subwoofer you must do so before installing it. See the section on ”Color Match Painting” later in this manual for full details.

Optional Paradigm® Backbox

Paradigm® Reference in-wall subwoofers can also be installed into an optional Paradigm® Backbox (sold separately). If you decide to use a backbox, follow the instructions for placement and installation included with the backbox. NOTE: If you install your subwoofer into a Paradigm® Backbox, you will not require the MDF mounting frame that came with your subwoofer.

CONFIGURING THE AMPLIFIER FOR USE WITH YOUR SUBWOOFER

WARNING: The following 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.

To prevent damage to amplifier or subwoofer, the Impedance Matching Switch on your subwoofer’s baffle must be correctly positioned (Fig. 1).

To prevent damage to amplifier or subwoofer and ensure optimal sound, the 3-Position “EQ” Switch on the X-300 amplifier’s rear panel must be correctly configured for use with or without a Paradigm® Backbox. Toggle to the setting that matches your setup (Fig. 2):

Setting 1: Use this setting with one RVC-12SQ subwoofer without a backbox
