Power Button - Turns the XZone70V on/o.
Output Level Indicator - LEDs will illuminate sequentially from left to right to
indicate increasing output levels. Red indicates that the amplifier has begun clipping.
Reduce the volume level when clipping is reached.
Microphone Volume Control - Adjust the microphone volume level here to in-
crease the microphone volume in relation to the background audio.
System Volume - Use these volume buttons to increase/decrease the overall system
volume level. These buttons are similar to pressing volume up/down on the XTS or the
MyRussound app.
Status LEDs - Troubleshooting - See LED diagnostic chart on page 11
Ethernet Port - The Ethernet port is used for configuration as well as for enabling
control via the MyRussound App or the XTS Touchscreen. The default network setting is
DHCP-enabled, but the XZone70V can be configured with a static IP address using the
Web Config interface.
USB Port - For audio from flash drives or externally powered USB hard drives
Factory Reset - The factory reset button has two functions. A 3-second press and
hold will restore network settings to DHCP. A 10-second press and hold will reset the
XZone70V to its factory default settings.
Note: A unit that has been reset to factory default will have no configuration and will
need to be unlocked and reconfigured by a Russound Certified Installer. Network
connections will also default back to DHCP during a reset.
Microphone Gain Control/Input - Connect a microphone here. If using a con-
denser microphone, set the Phantom Power switch to "On". Refer to "Adjusting the
Microphone Gain" section on page 12 for more information.
Phantom Power Switch - Set this switch to "On" when using a condenser micro-
phone or when the microphone instructions specify using Phantom Power support.
Mode 70/100V or 4Ω Switch - Like any premium audio component, the XZone70V
uses a high pass filter when operating at 70/100v. If using as a low impedance amplifier (minimum 4 ohm), set this switch to the 4Ω position. Otherwise, leave it at the
70/100V position.
Audio In - Connect any stereo audio source to this connection. This input is selectable
from the XTS touchscreen or the MyRussound app and has AUX input.
Pre-Out Left and Right - Balanced pre-out connections for both left and right audio
channels for connecting to additional amplifiers
Speaker Output - Refer to "Speaker Connections" on page 12.
AC input - Voltage is autoswitching for 100V to 240V operation 50-60 Hz. This recep-
tacle accepts a 3-prong IEC C13 type connector. A detachable 3-terminal power cord is
included.

ETHERNET CONNECTION AND FACTORY RESET
Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is used for conguration and audio streaming as well as
for enabling control via the MyRussound App or the XTS Touchscreen. The default
network setting is DHCP-enabled, but the XZone70V can be congured with static
IP addressing using Web Cong. The Ethernet connection is also used for the builtin streaming services and for playing any music stored on connected network
drives using DLNA.
Note: While the XZone70V has a single physical Ethernet connection, it will
occupy a total of 2 IP addresses on the network. One address is for XZone70V
management, and the other is for the internal streaming module that the
XZone70V utilizes to provide audio content. If using DHCP, both addresses will use
DHCP. If using static IP addressing, both addresses will need to be congured with
a static address.
Factory Reset
The factory reset button has two functions. A 3-second press and hold will restore
network settings to DHCP. A 10-second press and hold will reset the XZone70V to
its factory default settings. When performing either of these functions, do not
power o the XZone70V. It will reboot automatically on its own at the proper
time. The entire reset process will take several minutes. The XZone70V status LED
will illuminate green when the process is complete.
The factory reset deletes all conguration and personal information including
service account settings and passwords.
Note: After a factory reset, the XZone70V will require valid Russound Certied
Installer credentials in order to be unlocked and congured again.
