Introduction

With over 50 years of speaker system know-how for concerts, movies, public
address and clubs – when you want to recreate these experiences at home on
the desktop – those that know turn to Cerwin-Vega!

When creating a speaker for desktop and computer applications the goal is to
optimize the sound output while keeping the enclosure small. Clarity is critical,
especially for those producing multimedia or analyzing tracks. Signal purity

must be maintained by using low noise amplifiers that don’t disappoint when

the volume is set to high. And, if it has the Cerwin-Vega! name, the bass has to
be in-your-face.

Powered desktop speakers must also fully integrate with your entire sound
system and outboard accessories. With the capability to handle multiple inputs,
you can switch instantly between your computer as a source or other more
portable platforms such as MP3 players, phones and other media players via
the ⅛” stereo Auxiliary input. A convenient headphone jack allows you to “keep

it down” while maintaining full control through the front panel volume

adjustments.

Product Features

① ¾”Tweeter

Both left and right speakers features a precise 3/4" silk dome tweeter with
protective magnetic shielding. The tweeter delivers high frequency sound and
is further naturalized with internal damping technology to minimize unwanted
resonance.

② 3” Woofer with Vega -Bass

Below the tweeter is a durable 3” polypropylene treated paper cone woofer
with high-temperature voice coil to provide consistent sound over hours and
hours of continually usage. The woofer delivers balanced mid- and low­frequency sound and also features protective magnetic shielding.

③ Illuminate d Volume Knob

The volume control knob controls both left and right speaker volume at the
same time. Turning the volume control knob in a clock-wise direction will
increase the speaker volume. Turning the volume control know in a counter­clock-wise direction will decrease the speaker volume. When the speaker is
powered on, a red ring will be lit around the knob.

④ ⅛” Headphone Jack

A stereo ‘Head phone’ jack is conveniently located on the front of the speaker.
Use a ⅛” stereo jack from the headphone and insert it into the ‘Head phone’
jack. When a headphone is placed into the jack, the sound from the main
speaker will be muted.

⑤ ⅛” Auxil ia ry Input Jack

A stereo ‘Aux In’ input is provided in a convenient location for an easy

connection to a portable device such as an MP3 or mobile phone. Use a male­to-male ⅛” stereo-mini to connect the portable device to the XD3 speaker
system.

⑥ External A udio Input (RCA/Pho no)

A stereo RCA-type input is located on the rear of the left speaker. This is an
unbalanced input that is common with a majority of consumer level home
audio electronics. The RCA-type input can be connected to a computer or
portable device using a ⅛” stereo mini-to-RCA audio cable speaker system. The
volume control knob controls both the Main Stereo Input and ‘Aux In’.

6

⑦ Speaker O ut Connecti on & Speaker I nput Conn ection

For complete stereo sound, the right speaker must be connected to the left
speaker. Using the supplied 2-conductor speaker cable, connect the ‘output to

right speaker’ to the ‘input front left speaker’. Be sure to note the color
polarity to maintain the best audio performance. The left speaker’s red jack
should be connected to the right speaker’s red jack. The left speaker’s black
jack should be connected to the right speaker’s black jack.

⑧ Vega-Bass Selector

The Vega-Bass selector delivers a quick way to tailor the XD3 speaker system to
your personal preference. With the Vega-Bass selector set to ‘On’, the XD3
speaker will increase the bass response (increase low frequency gain). With
the Vega-Bass selector set to ‘Off’, the XD3 speaker will be set to a more
natural even response.

⑨ Power Switc h

The main power switch is located on the rear of the left speaker. To use the

XD3 speaker system, be sure the power switch is set to the ‘ON’ position. When
the XD3 speaker system is not in use, set the power switch to the ‘OFF’

position.

⑩ AC Power I nlet

The ‘AC IN’ must be connected to a power outlet to use the XD3 speaker

system. Use only the power cord provided with the XD3 system. Be sure the
power cord is firmly secured into the AC power inlet.

⑪ Reinforced Rear-F iring Bass Port

On both left and right speakers is a custom low-frequency tuned base port. The
port allows low frequency signals to be released thus enhancing the overall
bass response. Avoid placing the speaker against a flat surface such as a wall, to
prevent restriction of the bass port.

7

QUICK START

Placement

For the best listening experience, place the XD3 speaker system in the optimal
position. The left and right speakers should be placed at a vertical height
leveled with the main user’s head. The left and right speakers should be placed
so that it is in an equilateral triangle with the main user. An equilateral triangle
is where the distance between the left and rights speakers and the main user
are equal. The distance should be greater than 3 feet (1 meter). The rotation of
the left and right speaker should be at a 60 degree angle towards the main
user.

8

Connection s

STEP A: Situate the left and right speakers in the desired locations. Connect the
2-conductor speaker wire in between the left and right speakers.

STEP B: Connect the output from the computer or portable media player to the
input of the left speaker.

STEP C: Set the volume knob, located on the front of the left speaker, to the
most counter-clockwise position. Be sure the power switch on the left speaker

is set to ‘OFF’. Connect the power cord from an acceptable power socket to the
‘AC IN’ located on the rear of the left speaker.

STEP D: Turn the power switch on the left speaker to ‘ON’. Next, apply audio to
the XD3 speaker system by playing music from the computer or portable media
player.

STEP E: Slowly turn the volume knob clockwise until the desired volume has
been reached.

Troubleshooting Tips

No Power

The XD3 features a power indicator around the volume control knob on the left
speaker. This ‘ring’ will be lit when the XD3 is powered ‘on’.

Be sure the XD3 is being used with the correct power source. Do NOT use the
XD3 intended for 100-120V on a power source that is 220-240V. Do NOT use
the XD3 intended for 220-240V on a power source that is 100-120V. The XD3 is
marked appropriately on the back of the left speaker.

Make sure the power cord is securely seated and plugged all the way into the

‘AC IN’ socket of the XD3 speaker. Be sure the power cord is plugged all the

way into the AC outlet.

Check that the AC outlet is live (such as using a lamp or qualified tester from
the same outlet). In some cases, the AC outlet may be controlled by a light
switch or the power strip has a switch in the incorrect ‘off’ position.

Verify that the power switch on the rear of the XD3 speaker is in the ‘on’
position. The ‘on’ position is where the ‘|’ symbol is pressed down.

No Sound

Verify that the XD3 is powered ‘on’. See the above section.

Make sure the audio cable is plugged into both the source output (computer or
portable media player) and the XD3 audio input (either the two RCA jacks
located on the rear or the ⅛” ‘AUX IN’ jack located on the front).

11

Check that the source (computer or portable media player) volume level is set
to a level that can properly send a signal to the monitors. Also verify that the
volume knob on the XD3 speaker is turned to the full clockwise position.

If the right speaker does not produce audio, than check both sides of the 2­conductor wire that is connected to the left and right speaker. The ends of the
2-conductor wire must be bare wire (no insulation material) and inserted into
the push terminals.

Ba d Sound

Verify that all audio related connections are securely attached. For example,
make sure the audio input connectors are clean and fully inserted into the jack.

Distorted or noisy sound can result from the source (computer or portable
media player). Try to listen to the source using a set of headphones and
adjusting the volume to different levels. If the audio is bad through the
headphones, than the source is the problem.

The position of the speakers can contribute to bad sound. Make sure the
proximity of the speakers is not restricted by other objects such as books or
being placed too close to the wall. Experiment by moving the XD3 speakers to
different positions.

Check that the wiring is not restricted and not in close proximity to electrical
interference sources such as power cords, mobile phones or dimming lights.
