When creating the XD3 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 like the XD3 must also fully integrate with your entire sound system and outboard accessories. The XD3 has the capability to handle multiple inputs, you can switch instantly between your computer as a source or other more portable platforms such as iPods, phones and other media players via the 1/8" stereo Auxiliary input. The XD3 also has a convenient headphone jack which allows you to "keep it down" while maintaining full control through the front panel power switch and volume adjustments.

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

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” Auxiliary 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 Audio Input (RCA/Phono)

⑦ Speaker Out Connection & Speaker Input Connection 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 Switch

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 Inlet

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 -Firing 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.
