Introduction
With over 50 years of speaker system know‐how involving concerts, movies and clubs, Cerwin‐
Vega! is the name you can count on to recreate the full impact of your particular music, gaming and
playback situation in your home or office environment. When setting out to create the powered XD
Series, Cerwin‐Vega engineers made their goal to deliver optimal sound reproduction from a
selection of compact systems and enclosures that fit neatly in a desktop application. In the
tradition of Cerwin‐Vega products key design goals included optimized frequency response, overall
clarity, low distortion and decent bass performance, a Cerwin‐Vega! trademark.
XD4 and XD5 Speakers
VOLUME – The volume knob controls both the LEFT and RIGHT speaker volume at the same
time. Turning the volume knob in a clock‐wise direction will increase the speaker volume.
Turning the volume knob in a counter‐clock‐wise direction will decrease the speaker volume.
XD SPEAKER CABLE – The bi‐speaker cable is required
to connect the LEFT and RIGHT speakers.
AUDIO INPUT – There are two types of audio inputs.
The top LEFT & RIGHT inputs are RCA connectors for
unbalanced signals, which are typically used for
consumer products and musical instruments. The
bottom LEFT & RIGHT inputs are ¼" connectors for
balanced signals, which are typically used for
professional products.
VEGA BASS – Tailor the XD speaker system to your
personal preference. With the selector set to 'ON', the
XD4 & XD5 speakers will increase the bass response.
POWER SWITCH & POWER CORD – Set the power switch to 'ON' position when the speaker
system is ready for use. Auto‐Standby activates after 30 minutes of no activity. Standby
deactivates when it detects an input signal having an amplitude of ‐50dBu or greater. In quiet
(low listening level) situations, adjust the gain stages by setting the volume to middle or lower
and increase the input level of the audio source.
HEADPHONE – Plug a ⅛" stereo jack from your headphone
into the 'Head phone' jack. When placed into the jack, the
sound from the main speaker will be muted.
AUX IN – Use a ⅛" stereo‐mini (male to male) as the
connection to a mobile device from the XD speaker system.
Note: When used with an XD8s subwoofer, use the AUX IN
on the XD8s system remote volume control.
