Danger of electric shock!
The loudspeaker carries mains voltage and voltages higher than 35 V AC or DC
inside. It has no special protection against the intrusion of liquids or objects into
the system. There is therefore a risk of lethal electric shock.
• Never touch the speaker with wet hands!
• Only use the speaker in a dry place!
• Do not operate it outdoors or in damp rooms!
• The loudspeaker must be protected from liquids of all kinds, including dripping
and splashing water.
•
Do not place any containers containing liquids (e.g. ower vases) on the speak-
er or in the immediate vicinity!
• If the loudspeaker is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, conden-
sation may form inside the unit. Wait at least six hours until the loudspeaker
has reached room temperature and is dry before switching it on!
• No objects or foreign bodies may get into the device.
• Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should objects have
got inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately and contact Nubert elec-
Danger of injury or damage!
For speakers with threaded bushings on the underside:
The threaded bushings may be used for upright mounting of the loudspeaker on
suitable base plates only. The threaded bushings on the underside of the loud-
speaker enclosures are not designed for tensile loads and must therefore not be
used as holders for hooks or similar devices in order to suspend the loudspeaker
cabinet. A falling speaker may cause serious injury and damage.
Connection instructions
General connection instructions
• Disconnect the mains plug before changing any wiring on the system!
• Make sure that all connections have been made correctly and that all plugs
are rmly seated in the sockets before connecting the speaker to the mains.
• Use only the intended cables or plug connections for the connections! Failure
to do so may result in damage or malfunction.
•
If you want to disconnect connections on the loudspeaker, always pull the plug,
never the cable!
• Ensure that all plugs are rmly seated in the sockets!
• Only use cables and accessories recommended by Nubert!
Danger of electric shock!
Faulty mains supply systems or excessive mains voltage can lead to electric
shocks.
•
All power supply or antenna systems connected to the loudspeaker must com-
ply with all applicable laws and regulations and be professionally installed by
an approved installation company.
• Use only the appropriate power cord to connect the speaker. Do not modify
the power cord or its plug.
• Make sure that the mains voltage at your location matches the requirements
of the loudspeaker! The correct power supply can be found on the label on the
back of the speaker. It must not be connected to other power supplies.
• Devices of Class 1 construction must be connected to the mains power socket
outlet with a protective earth connection. Make sure that the installation of the
protective earth is carried out correctly!
• When laying the power cables, make sure that they cannot be damaged (e.g.
by heating or mechanical stress)! Pay particular attention to the areas of the
connectors and distributors!
Caution!
Overvoltage in the power supply system (e.g. due to lightning) can damage or
destroy the device and power supply unit.
• An overvoltage protection element can provide a certain degree of protection
against excessively high voltages in the power grid.
• However, the greatest possible protection against damage can only be
achieved with the complete separation from the mains supply.In case of thun-
derstorms or danger of lightning strikes, disconnect the mains cable from the
socket and any antenna plugs from your hi- system!
• If the speaker is not used for a long period of time or is unattended, the power
supply should be disconnected. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket!

Low temperatures and Sound
When speakers are shipped and delivered during the cold months
of the year, it is imperative that they adapt to the temperature of
the living area. Low temperatures have a considerable inuence on
the moving parts of a loudspeaker such as diaphragm, voice coil,
bead and spider. The ability of these components to follow rapid
oscillations or to perform large excursions is thus signicantly restricted. This is not dangerous, but “frozen” speakers are far from
their acoustic peak.
Hence our tip: When your new speakers arrive on a cold winter’s
day, just give them a few hours to acclimatise. Your Nubert speakers will thank you with the superior sound quality you have come to
expect from us.
Alternative mounting: out-rigger feet pointing inwards.
This method is recommended if the XS-7500 needs to be placed on
a narrow surface or if heavy objects (more than 50 kg’s) needs to be
placed on the soundbase.
Setup
The nuPro-soundboard XS-7500 is a high-quality, very neutral active
stereo loudspeaker. They impress with an extremely homogeneous,
precise, and “direct” sound reproduction with the nest resolution in
the entire frequency spectrum.
However, even an “honest loudspeaker” is exposed to the manifold
inuences of room acoustics. In order to achieve the most natural
and true-to-life reproduction possible, please observe the following
general installation guidelines:
Due to the rear-facing bass reex ports, the XS-7500 should be
placed at least 5 centimetres from the rear wall in order to ensure
trouble-free operation and to avoid air ow noises. Some distance
to the back- and side walls also helps prevent an increase in the
bass- and fundamental ranges.
Cloth grille
The cloth grille protects the loudspeaker drivers (for example from
curious children who like to press in tweeter domes) and provides a
visual contrast for those who do not like the technical appearance
of loudspeaker drivers. It is carefully placed against the front of the
speaker and held in place magnetically. Please make sure that the
surface of the bafe is not damaged.
With the cloth grill removed, the loudspeaker sounds somewhat
brighter and clearer - the choice is yours!
When placed on a shelf, the best sound is achieved when the front
edge of the speaker is either ush with the shelf or protrudes slightly.
This allows the loudspeaker to radiate the sound freely into the room
and helps to avoid voices sounding like coming through a funnel.
Ideal horizontal listening area
The best listening experience is achieved directly in front of the XS-
7500. If you often need to sit off-centre and thus outside the optimum
listening area, we recommend that you compensate with the sound
controls.
Placing the speaker at the optimum height
The most natural sound is achieved when the tweeters are approximately at ear level. But even 30 degrees above or below the tweeter
axis, the sound is still homogeneous. If the XS-7500 is placed directly beneath your TV, you will in most cases be within the optimum
listening area already. If the speaker needs to be placed lower or
higher, it should ideally be angled so that the tweeters are aimed at
the listening position. If this is not possible, we recommend compensating with the sound-controls.

Wireless sound transmission between Nubert Wireless System products
Nubert X-platform based speakers and appliances can wirelessly
exchange audio- and control-information. These include nuPro X
loudspeakers, nuSub XW subwoofers and the nuConnect am-
plier. The appliance that transmits the signal is the Master, the
receiving appliances are the Slaves. In some appliances this is
precongured, others like the XS-7500 can be exibly congured.
Please refer to the section Setup on page 11.
Depending on which appliance is receiving the signal, please observe the following:
1.
Receiver: nuSub XW
Nubert XW-generation subwoofers are always precongured as
slaves (wls slave).
•
The Master appliance always transmits a full-range signal. Accordingly, crossover frequency and relative level must be set on the
subwoofer.
• The overall level is adjusted on the Master-appliance.
2.
Receiver: nuPro XS-7500 or nuConnect ampX
The nuPro XS-7500 and the nuConnect ampX remain independently
controllable in wls slave mode.
• The received signal is accessed by selecting the wireless (wls)
input.
• Level is set on the receiving device, independently of the Masterappliance.
3.
Receiver: nuPro X loudspeaker
Transmitter: nuPro XS-7500 or nuConnect ampX
No changes can be made to the conguration on the nuPro-X speaker once it is set to wls slave.
• Selecting the correct channel (left, right or mono) must be done
before the wls slave mode is selected, as no channel conguration
information is transmitted from the master-appliance.
• The relative level of the slave-loudspeaker(s) can be adjusted
in the sub-menu zone ctrl on the XS-7500 or nuConnect ampX.
Please refer to the section zone ctrl on page 11.
• The overall level is controlled from the Master-appliance.
4.
Receiver: nuPro X loudspeaker
Transmitter: nuPro X loudspeaker
In this most common conguration (see the owner’s manual for
your nuPro X speakers), all settings are made on the Master-loudspeaker.
No changes can be made to the conguration on the nuPro X
speaker set as wls slave, including level and channel selection.
EN 12/2019 · nuPro XS-7500
Further use cases
Augmentation through a pair of nuPro-X loudspeakers
(i.e. X-4000 or X-8000)
The nuPro Soundbase can be supported by a pair of loudspeakers
from the X-series in order to achieve a broader stereo image. The
loudspeakers are placed in the classic stereo triangle and connected wirelessly to the soundbase.
Set the corresponding channel, left or right, in the channel menu
on the loudspeakers you want to add. Now connect the speakers
to soundbase by selecting wls master in the setup menu of the
soundbase and wls slave on both loudspeakers.
The complete, combined system can now be controlled from the
soundbase. We recommend setting the soundbase to mono in the
channel menu in order to achieve a more precise, central vocal
reproduction.
The balance between the soundbase and the speakers can be adjusted in the zone ctrl menu on the soundbase. You can read more
about the menus on page 11.
Use with a subwoofer
If you want to use your XS-7500 together with a wired subwoofer,
you can connect it to the SUB Out output. This output provides the
subwoofer with a low-pass ltered, summed mono signal. You can
set the crossover frequency for the subwoofer in the menu advanced / subwoofer.
The cut-off frequency for XS-7500 is adjusted in the advanced /
system-hp menu (see page 11). The relative level of the subwoo-
fer must be set on the subwoofer itself.
Alternatively, the subwoofer can be connected wirelessly. Please
refer to the Receiver: nuSub XW chapter above.

Construction and technology
Tilt Control
The midrange/treble adjustment of the nuPro loudspeakers has the
characteristics of a so-called “Tilt control”. While standard treble controls “bend” the frequency response and thus produce colourations,
this control continuously affects the frequency response in a linear
fashion. This perfectly preserves the basic tonal character of the
loudspeaker and the harmony of the sound image. The Mid/Hi tone
control allows an increase or decrease of the frequency response
with a maximum of 10 dB at 20 kHz.
Analog gain
The input sensitivity for the analog inputs XLR and AUX can be
adjusted in 2 steps (0 dB / +6 dB).
Digital Signal Processing
For maximum delity, the signal path of a nuPro X loudspeaker
is kept virtually entirely digital: Digital input signals go straight to
the digital signal processor (DSP), which then handles frequency
distribution and optimization of the frequency response. Analogue
sources are rst converted to a digital signal by high-quality A/D
converters. The signal remains digital all the way into the power
ampliers in order to achieve the best possible precision and signal
to noise ratio.
Sound format
The nuPro X loudspeakers process signals at the digital inputs in
“PCM” format. It may therefore be necessary to adjust the settings of
players such as TV sets or game consoles accordingly. To do this,
select “PCM” as the output format in the playback menu. Please also
refer to the manual of your source device.
Turning off multiple nuPro X loudspeakers
If the XS-7500 is switched into stand by either the remote or the
auto-off function, all wirelessly connected loudspeakers are automatically set to stand by as well.
Latency
The nuPro X Soundbase has a very low latency of 7.6 ms when set
up as single or wls slave.
If the XS-7500 is used in the wls master conguration, the latency
increases to 27.5 ms in order to assure correct time-alignment between the master- and slave loudspeaker.
Virtual sound-stage expansion
A complex DSP-algorithm calculates and extracts additional spatial
information that can be added to the original signal. When added,
the soundstage is virtually broadened and expanded.
This effect can set to 4 different levels:
• Set to “0”, the effect is deactivated
• Set to “1”, the effect is soft
• Set to “4”, the effect is the most pronounced. This setting is recommended when a very expansive soundstage is wanted and
precise location is less important.
Auto-off function
The auto on/off function reacts differently, depending on the selected
input: If no signal is present at the analog input, the loudspeaker is
set to stand by after 20 minutes. As soon as an analog input signal is
detected, the speaker switches back on. At the other inputs, the activity of the connected source is monitored, allowing the loudspeaker
to switch off or on instantly. At the SPDIF, Optical, Port and AES/
EBU inputs, the presence of the digital data stream is monitored,
while at at the USB input the presence of USB supply voltage is detected. The standby power consumption depends on the operating
mode. See page 11, section setup.
Note: Modern computers often have USB sockets that deliver constant voltage (e.g. for charging a mobile phone) even when the computer is switched off. If you want to use the auto-on function of your
nuPro active loudspeakers in conjunction with the USB input, you
must use a USB connector that powers off with the computer.
Auto-on function
The nuPro speakers have an auto-on function that automatically
wakes up the loudspeaker from standby mode. This function is only
active if the loudspeaker was set to standby by the auto-off function. To wake up the loudspeaker, a signal must be present at the
input that was selected when the loudspeaker went into standby
(this function is not available at the Bluetooth and HDMI-ARC dongle inputs. If the speaker was set to standby using the remote control or the app, the auto-on function is disabled.
Loudness
This function can be used to make a volume-dependent frequency
response correction that compensates for limitations in the human
hearing. At low levels, human hearing is less sensitive in the bassrange. In order to compensate for this, the loudness function increases the bass-level with up to 10 dB when activated.

Care and cleaning tips
!
Caution!
Improper handling of the speaker may result in damage.
• Always unplug the speaker before cleaning it!
• Before recommissioning, make sure that all connections are correct, that there are no short circuits and that the speaker is completely dry.
• Never use strong cleaning agents or solvents such as petrol, spirit or similar!
Enclosure
We recommend commercial window cleaner sprayed onto a cotton
cloth. This allows almost all ngerprints and dust to be easily removed. Alternatively, you can also use window active foam.
We advise against the use of microbre cloths! These can cause
mini scratches in the surface.
Diaphragms and Speaker Chassis
To remove dust from a loudspeaker chassis, a lint-free cotton cloth
is sufcient to wipe the membrane lightly with very little pressure.
The tweeters of all Nubert loudspeakers are equipped with a protective grille so that they can also be wiped off with low pressure. If
the dust cannot be completely removed, a make-up brush from the
drugstore is suitable.

Disposal and battery return
Environmental protection: Ingredients, e.g. chemical pollutants in old appliances, can damage the environment and health if stored improperly, in particular if they are
not shatterproof or disposed of properly by persons not authorised to do so. Especially in the case of illegal exports, there is no guarantee that the environment and human
health will be protected from damage. Old appliances can also contain recyclable raw materials, old appliances can be repaired or parts can be reused and thus considerably protect the environment. Old appliances must therefore not be disposed of with normal household waste or exported illegally. As an end user, you are legally obliged to
return or properly dispose of electrical equipment.
Batteries:
Ingredients, e.g. chemical type of batteries, can damage the environment and health if not stored and disposed of properly. At the same time, recyclable raw materials may
also be included. Batteries must therefore not be disposed of with normal household waste. As an end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can return
batteries after use to the seller or in the designated collection points (e.g. in public collection points in your municipality or in the trade) free of charge or send them back
free of charge. You can also send the batteries back to the seller free of charge by post, whereby any requirements of the dangerous goods law must be observed. The sale
at points of sale is limited to the quantities customary for end users for disposal as well as used batteries which the distributor carries or has carried in its product range.
• Battery return
The symbol with the crossed-out dustbin reminds you not to put batteries in the household waste.
Under this symbol you can also fi nd the following symbols with the following meaning about ingredients:
Pb = battery contains more than 0.004 mass percent lead, Cd = battery contains more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium,
Hg = battery contains more than 0.0005 mass percent mercury.
• Old appliances
Electrical and electronic equipment is also marked with the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol. The symbol indicates that you,
as the owner of this appliance, may not dispose of it with your household waste (grey bin, yellow bin, organic waste bin, paper or glass).
You can send the device to the municipal collection points to be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste for reuse. Used batteries and accumulators which are
not enclosed by the waste equipment shall be separated from it at a collection point prior to delivery.
Old appliances can also be returned to us directly in our shops or shipped back to us for disposal. Please send an Email to [email protected] for a free return shipping label.
You can also request this by calling +49 7171-92690118. Please then send the old device to the following address:
Nubert electronic GmbH, Goethestr. 69, D-73525 Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
Please ensure that the old appliance is properly packaged for shipment so that breakage is avoided as far as possible and mechanical compaction or breakage can be ruled
out. The acceptance of waste equipment may be refused if there is a risk to human health and safety due to contamination.
Please note: You are responsible for the deletion of personal data on the waste equipment to be disposed of.
