All X-platform-based devices can exchange audio- and control-infor-
mation with each other.
(This functionality is only available when the nuConnect ampX is
used as an integrated amplier in combination with passive loud-
speakers. If you wish to connect a subwoofer, this must use a wired
connection too.)
The nuConnect must be set up as wls slave and connected to the
transmitting device. The amplier remains fully operable. Standby
power consumption is < 2,0 Watts.
➀
After switching on the nuConnect ampX, the display will show you
the set volume and input. This is the volume sub-menu, press
to
return to the main menu.
➁
Turn the
rotary encoder to get to the setup menu and press
the encoder to conrm.
➂
Turn the
rotary encoder to get to the wls slave menu and
press the encoder to conrm. The display of the nuConnect ampX
will show connecting for up to 60 seconds while trying to connect
to a master device.

Now congure the transmitting device, a nuPro X speaker or an-
other nuConnect for instance.Go to the setup menu of the trans-
mitting device, select wls master and conrm your selection to
begin the pairing process. Please refer to the manual of your specic
X-family device.
Once a connection is established, the displays on both devices will
briey show connected. An established connection will be perma-
nently indicated on each device by the symbol. The received
signal is available at the wireless (wls) input which can then be se-
lected like any other input.

The nuConnect can also be used as a control hub, sending audio-
and control-signals to nuPro X loudspeakers and nuSub subwoofers
wirelessly. All audio sources must be connected to the nuConnect
ampX, which must then be set as wls master. In this mode, stand-
by power consumption is < 2,0 watts. The wireless input is not avail-
able in this conguration.
Setting up nuPro X active speakers
Switch on the nuPros and set the correct channel for each loud-
speaker: Navigate to the submenu channel and set, for instance,
the left speaker to left. You can now set the speaker as slave by
navigating to the setup menu, selecting wls slave and conrming
your selection. The speaker will now search for a Master-device for
one minute.
Setting up the nuConnect ampX
Switch on your nuConnect ampX and set it as wls master by navigat-
ing to the setup menu and selecting wls master, using the follow-
ing steps: press the
back-key to return to the main menu and use
the rotary encoder to get to the setup menu. Press the rotary
encoder to enter the menu and go to wls master, again using the
rotary encoder. Conrm your selection by pressing the rotary
encoder. The speaker will now search for a Slave-device for one min-
ute.
Connecting the nuConnect ampX
and nuSub-series subwoofers (optional)
Switch on the subwoofer. Press the SOURCE/PAIR button on the
back of the subwoofer for at least 3 seconds. The subwoofer will now
search for a Master-device for two minutes. On the nuConnect ampX,
restart the search for a slave device by following the steps above,
selecting wls master in the setup menu.
Note:
Combinations of the application-examples mentioned above are of
course possible.
You can mute the different speaker-systems independently of each
other. An example: to mute your main, passive loudspeakers, navi-
gate to zone ctrl. > local spk > mute and conrm by pressing
the
rotary encoder. You can also adjust the level of wirelessly at-
tached systems relative to your main speakers. To do so, navigate to
zone ctrl > wireless > zone level > 0.0 dB.
