About Earthquake Sound Corporation

For over 28 years, Earthquake Sound has been producing a variety of high quality audio products that have
impressed audiophile communities around the world. It all started in 1984 when Joseph Sahyoun, a music freak and
Aerospace Engineer unhappy with the existing loud speaker technology and performance, decided to put his
advance engineering knowledge to use. He pushed technological boundaries to the limit to create the kind of
subwoofer he could live with. Earthquake quickly created a name for itself in the car audio industry and became well
known for its powerful subwoofers and amplifiers. In 1997, using his existing expertise in the audio industry, Joseph
Sahyoun expanded his company to home audio production.

Earthquake Sound has since evolved into a leader in the home audio industry, producing not only subwoofers and
amplifiers but surround speakers and tactile transducers as well. Engineered by audiophiles for audiophiles,
Earthquake Sound audio products are meticulously crafted to reproduce each and every single note perfectly,
bringing your home theater experience to life. With true dedication and full attention to details, Earthquake Sound
engineers continuously develop new and better products to meet customers’ needs and go beyond their
expectations.

From mobile audio to prosound and home audio, Earthquake Sound has been selected as the winner of many
prestigious awards based on sound quality, performance, value and features. CEA and numerous publications have
awarded Earthquake Sound with over a dozen design and engineering awards. Additionally, Earthquake Sound has
been granted many design patents by the USPO for revolutionary audio designs that have changed the sound of the
audio industry.

Headquartered in a 60,000 square foot facility in Hayward, California USA, Earthquake Sound currently exports to
over 60 countries worldwide. In 2010, Earthquake Sound expanded its export operations by opening a European
warehouse in Denmark. This accomplishment was recognized by the US Department of Commerce who honored
Earthquake Sound with an Export Achievement award at the 2011 Consumer Electronic Show. Just recently, the US
Department of Commerce presented Earthquake Sound with another Export Achievement award for expanding its
export operations in China.

System Installation Considerations

Safe & Proper handling

There are several factors to consider before
installing Earthquake Sound’s XJ-700R amplifier.

?What are the intended listening zones?

?From where in each zone will the listener prefer

to control the system? Where will the amplifier be
located?

? Where will the source equipment be located?

Connection Tips

?Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to

prevent humming from induced noise.

?Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake

Sound also specializes in high performance RCA
cables and patches).

?All speaker wires that are ran through the walls

should be twisted type to reduce potential hum
noise pick-up.

The XJ-700R amplifier is considerably light weight
and easy to maneuver. However, we encourage you
to take precaution when unpacking the unit to prevent
any possible damage to your XJ-700R. We further
suggest the following:

?Do not apply downward or upward pressure

against the speaker terminals as this will cause
damage to the terminals.

?When carrying the XJ-700R, make sure that the

speaker terminals are away from your chest,
eliminating the chance of pushing against them.

?Do not drop the XJ-700R or subject it to sudden

shocks. This will damage the external finish and
may cause internal damages to the amplifier.

?Avoid exposing the XJ-700R to moisture. Water

will damage the amplifier.

?Cleaning the XJ-700R is best done using soft

cloth. If needed, use mild detergent with water.
Like any other electrical unit, always unplug the
unit before cleaning it.

?It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to

power the amplifier. Lack of input ground
reference could be unsafe. Consult with your
electrical contractor about proper grounding.

This triangle, which appears on your component,

alerts you to the presence of uninsulated,

dangerous voltage inside the enclosure -

voltage that may be sufficient to

constitute a risk of shock.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Unpacking the XJ-700R

?Keep the original carton and packing materials for

future shipment or storage.

?Check for any visual signs of damage. If you

encounter any concealed damage, consult your
Earthquake Sound dealer before proceeding with
unit installation.

?Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the

duration of the limited warranty and provides
information for insurance purposes.

The XJ-700R is packaged well for safety. We highly
suggest having a padded surface when unpacking it.

This triangle, which appears on your component,

SIGNAL SENSING

(1) RCA Inputs

These terminals have been calibrated to have
the same sensitivity level and should both be
connected. However, if the signal comes from
the receiver’s/pre-amp’s LFE output, connect
only to the R RCA input.

(2) Boundary EQ

When ON, the amplifier gives a flat response
for a natural and tighter performance. It also
removes exaggerated boomy sounds created
by less-than-ideal installation circumstances
(i.e. corner loading, large wall surfaces,
installations inside custom cabinetry, etc.).
When OFF, 3dB is added to the response
curve. Leave the Boundary EQ in the OFF
position for all other installation or when the
exaggerated boomy sound is designed.

(4-OHM MIN)

When set to +12V, use a 1/8” mono mini-jack to
connect a 12V trigger wire from other devices
(tip is positive). The amplifier will turn on/off
when triggered (100mA minimum) by the
connected device.

(6) IR Input

Use this 1/8” mono mini-jack to connect to most
IR emitter output connections. The signal will
be transferred and internally flashed to the IR
receiver located behind the front panel. This will
eliminate the need to add “stick-on” emitters in
most systems, making it ideal for systems
behind closed cabinet doors or in an equipment
rack located in other areas of the home. Note
that this IR connection may not be compatible
with all variations of IR system type. In some
cases, an emitter will be needed to place over
the front panel IR window.

more precise bass response.

(5) Signal Sensing Modes

This is a 3-way switch. When ON, the amplifier
will remain on regardless of signal presence.
When set to AUTO, the amplifier will only turn
on when audio signal is detected. Additionally
the amplifier will go to sleep/stand-by if it does
not detect any signal after about 20 minutes.

(7) Speaker Outputs

These 5-way binding post speaker terminals
accepts bare speaker wire, pin connectors,
spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual
banana plugs. The two terminals are internally
connected in parallel all to the same source.
They can be used one at a time or both at the
same time as shown in the next section of this
manual. When connecting to both terminals, a
minimum of 4-Ohm load is required for each
terminal.

(8) 115V/230V AC Selector

The XJ-700R can operate in a 115V or 230V
environment. Simply slide the selector to the
required power setting and replace the fuse to
the proper rating prior to connecting the
amplifier to a power source.

(9) Main Power Switch

When switched OFF, the amplifier will remain
off as there is no AC power being fed into it. We
highly recommend keeping this switch OFF
when the amplifier is not being used for an
extended period of time.
