Do not use the speaker or remote control

• in environments where there is a risk of re or explosion!

• at extremely low or extremely high temperatures!

• near ammable gases or vapours!

• near strong dust!

• near ammable materials!

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 speaker or in the immediate vicinity!

• If the loudspeaker is moved from a cold environment to a warm room,

condensation 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 of any kind may get into the device.

• Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should

objects have gotten inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately

and contact Nubert electronic GmbH ([email protected])!

Danger of injury or damage!

For speakers with threaded bushings on the underside:

The threaded bushings may be used for upright mounting of the loud-

speaker on suitable base plates or feet only.

The threaded bushings on the underside of the loudspeaker enclosures

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 comply with all applicable laws and regulations and be profes-

sionally 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 requi-

rements 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 pow-

er 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 dama-

ged (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 thunderstorms 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!

Remote control and battery

This product comes with a remote control and a battery. The following

must be observed when handling remote controls and batteries:

If the batteries are discharged, the range of the remote control

will decrease signicantly. If this happens, replace the batteries imme-

diately. Always use high-quality CR2025 lithium button cells as replace-

ment batteries. Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the

battery into the battery compartment!

Caution!

Improper handling can lead to material damage.

• Do not drop the remote control!

• Do not expose the remote control and battery to water or

other liquids!

reasonable distance from the respective end user.

• at the request of the end user, take back free of charge at the retail

outlet, or in the immediate vicinity thereof, waste equipment that does

not exceed 25 cm in any external dimension; take-back must not be

linked to the purchase of an electrical or electronic device and is limi-

ted to three old devices per type of device. In the case of distribution

using means of distance selling, the distributor must ensure appro-

priate return options at a reasonable distance from the respective end

user.

Batteries/Accumulator

Information according to the German battery

law (BatterieG)

Ingredients of batteries (e.g. chemicals) can damage the environment

and health if not stored and disposed of properly. In particular, lithium-

containing batteries must be handled with care due to the special risks,

e.g. re hazard or risk of ingestion with button cells. At the same time,

recyclable raw materials may also be included. Batteries must therefore

not be disposed of with normal household waste. Separate collec-

tion can enable the recycling of raw materials; it also avoids negative

impacts on the environment and human health due to the release of

hazardous substances. As the end user, you are legally obligated to

return used batteries.

You can return batteries after use free of charge to a retail store or to

designated collection points (e.g. public collection points in your com-

munity or in stores). You can also return the batteries to the seller via

mail, observing the dangerous goods regulations if applicable.

The disposal in retail stores is limited to used batteries that the distribu-

tor carries or has carried in his product range in quantities customary for

disposal by end users.

The symbol with the crossed-out garbage can reminds you that you

must not dispose of batteries in municipal waste. Below this sign you

may nd additional symbols with the following meaning regarding

content materials:

Pb = Battery contains more than 0.004 percent lead by mass,

Cd = Battery contains more than 0.002 percent cadmium by mass,

Hg = Battery contains more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass.

To avoid littering and to reduce waste, it is recommended to use rechar-

geable batteries or batteries with a long service life. Long operational

time of electrical and electronic equipment is made possible using

replaceable accumulators. Littering of public spaces can be avoided

by disposing of batteries correctly. It may also be possible to reuse a

battery instead of disposing of it, for example by reconditioning or

refurbishing the battery. In addition, equipment and accumulators can

also be prepared for reuse, for example, by replacing or refurbishing the

accumulators.

Disposal of electrical and electronic devices

Information according to the German Act on Electrical

and Electronic Devices (ElektroG)

Owners of waste electrical and electronic devices must dispose of it

separately from unsorted municipal waste.

Meaning of the symbol„crossed-out trash can“

The crossed-out garbage can symbol regularly displayed

on electrical and electronic equipment and batteries

indicates that the respective device must be collected

separately from unsorted municipal waste.

Batteries, accumulators and lamps

Spent batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the waste

equipment, as well as lamps that can be non-destructively removed

from the waste equipment, have to be separated from the waste equip-

ment before handing it in at a collection point.

If the waste equipment is to be prepared for reuse with the participa-

tion of a public waste management authority, batteries and accumula-

tors as well as lamps do not have to be removed.

For the disposal of batteries and accumulators, please also observe the

following information on the battery law.

Deletion of data

Old devices may contain personal data. In your own interest, please

note that you, as the end user, are responsible for deleting the personal

data on the old devices to be disposed of before handing them in.

Options for the return of old devices

Owners of old devices from private households can hand them in free

of charge at the local collection points of the public waste disposal

authorities or at the collection points set up by manufacturers or dis-

tributors.

Distributors of electrical and electronic devices are obligated to take

back old devices free of charge in accordance with § 17 Sections 1 and

2 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG). The take-

back process is as follows:

Distributors with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and elect-

ronic equipment and distributors of groceries with a total sales area of

at least 800 m² who oer electrical and electronic equipment several

times per calendar year or on a permanent basis and make it available

on the market are subject to the obligation to take the devices back.

This applies in the case of distribution using means of distance selling

(e.g. online retailers), with the stipulation that the relevant oorspace

depends on the storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic

equipment.

Distributors subject to the take-back obligation must,

• when supplying a new electric or electronic device to an end-user,

take back free of charge an end-user‘s old device of the same type that

fullls essentially the same functions as the new device at the place of

supply or in the immediate vicinity thereof. If the device is delivered to

a private household, the consumer may demand the collection of the

old device at that location.

In the case of distribution using means of distance selling (e.g. online

store), free collection is limited to electrical and electronic equipment

in categories 1, 2 and 4, namely“heat exchanger”, “Screens, monitors

and devices containing screens with a surface area greater than 100

square centimeters” or “large equipment”(the latter with at least one

external dimension over 50 centimeters). For equipment in categories

3, 5 and 6, the distributor must ensure suitable return options within a

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 microbre 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

sucient to wipe the membrane lightly with very little pressure.

Unpacking and Scope of Delivery

Unpacking

When unpacking your speaker, do not use sharp or pointed objects to

avoid possible damage to the enclosure. Please keep the packaging in a

safe place in case you need to transport the speaker at a later date.

Scope of delivery

If the delivery is complete, it contains the following parts:

1 nuPro XS-8500 RC active loudspeaker

1 Cloth grille

1 Remote control with battery

1 Mains cable, 3 m

1 Fibre optic cable with TOS-Link plugs, 1.5 m

1 Stereo 3.5mm jack to cinch cable, 1.5 m

1 High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, 1.5 m

Auto power o

The nuPro XS-8500 Soundbase can switch to the stand-by mode via an

automatic power o function. The behaviour depends on the chosen

input. If either Bluetooth or AUX is selected, the loudspeaker switches

to standby mode after a maximum of 20 minutes without audio input.

With the digital inputs (SPDIF, Port), the auto-o circuit also reacts

directly to the absence of a digital data stream and thus allows for a

faster switch-o. The playback device must deactivate the data stream

accordingly. When switched to the HDMI eARC input, the auto o cir-

cuit reacts directly to the appropriate CEC command, transmitted from

the TV system.

Note: The auto power o function can be enabled or disabled by enter-

ing the main menu of the speaker and navigating to:

> advanced

> auto power

If the menu item off is selected here, this function is disabled.

Auto power on

The electronics of the soundbase have an automatic switch-on func-

tion, that automatically wakes them from stand-by mode as soon as a

sound signal or data stream is present. The signal must be applied to

the input that was selected during the automatic switch-o process.

• This function is not available for Bluetooth devices.

• At the other inputs, Auto power on is only active if the soundbase is

set to standby mode by the Auto power o function. If standby mode

has been set manually by pressing the button on/o on the remote

control or the app, the automatic switch-on function is deactivated.

1.1. Nubert (Nubert electronic GmbH, Nubertstr. 1, 73529 Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany) grants a special manufacturer‘s warranty to the purchaser on certain products

of the Nubert brand, for which we state this in the offers or in the corresponding product documents, or for which these warranty conditions are enclosed with the deliv-

ery, according to the following conditions.

For products of other manufacturers and brands that you purchase from Nubert, the legal warranty rights apply. Provided that other manufacturers grant their own

warranties, claims arising from these warranties are only justiﬁed against these manufacturers, but not against Nubert.

1.2. The legal rights of the purchaser, in particular the legal right of withdrawal or the statutory warranty rights, shall remain unrestrictedly available to the purchaser

in addition to the warranty and shall be available to the purchaser to the full extent. The consumer’s legal rights may, of course, be utilized free of charge and are not

restricted by the warranty.

1.3. The warranty period for Nubert speakers in passive technology (without built-in ampliﬁer) is 5 years from delivery to the ﬁrst purchaser. In the ﬁrst two years this

applies without restriction. After the second year, the warranty is limited to the functionality of the drivers, the electrical connections and electronic components (cross-

over). In particular, optical changes to surfaces (e.g. foiled, painted, veneered, anodized or plastic surfaces) are no longer covered by the warranty after the second year

has passed.

1.4. The warranty period for Nubert speakers in active technology (with built-in ampliﬁer, e.g. active speakers and subwoofers), as well as electronic devices of the

Nubert brand (e.g. ampliﬁers and active tuning modules) is 2 years from delivery to the ﬁrst purchaser.

1.5. The warranty period for Nubert accessories (e.g. cables, cable accessories, stands, holders, speaker casters, speaker covers) is 5 years from the date of delivery to

the ﬁrst purchaser. This applies without restriction for the ﬁrst two years. After the second year, the warranty is limited to the functionality of the accessories. In particu-

lar, optical changes to surfaces (e.g. painted, veneered, anodized or metal, fabric or plastic surfaces) are no longer covered by the warranty after the second year has

passed.

1.6. In each case, the proof of purchase of the ﬁrst purchaser is the warranty certiﬁcate.

1.7. The warranty includes and is limited to the repair or replacement of the defective part free of charge in case of a quality defect of the goods (e.g. material defect or

manufacturing defect) or a replacement delivery (concurrently against return of the defective product) at our discretion. In addition, Nubert will cover the shipping and

return costs of the affected product from or to the curb in the case of justiﬁed warranty claims, provided that the goods are located within the states of the European

Union and the shipment has been coordinated with Nubert in advance. Additional services are possible as a gesture of goodwill at Nubert’s discretion. It is assumed, that

a quality defect, which becomes apparent within the warranty period was already present at the time of the transfer of perils. Replaced parts or products returned in the

case of a replacement delivery become the property of Nubert. Warranty services do not result in an extension of the warranty period, nor do they initiate a new warranty

period. The warranty period for installed spare parts ends with the warranty period for the entire device. The acceptance or performance of warranty services is made

without acceptance of liability according to statutory warranty law.

2. A warranty claim does not apply in the event of

• repair attempts of any kind not previously agreed upon with Nubert

• improper operating environment or improper storage (e.g., damage due to moisture or particularly high or low temperatures)

• improper transport packaging (the original transport packaging, used in its entirety, provides sufﬁcient protection)

• improper mechanical impact on the goods (e.g. damage caused by dropping, scratches and damage to housings, displays and remote controls, switches, connection

sockets or antennas after delivery), especially on loudspeaker chassis (e.g. depressed membranes/domes)

• improper mounting (e.g. of switches, antennas, covers, feet or brackets) or improper connection / improper operation (e.g. operating with defective or unsuitable ampli-

ﬁers or other source devices with DC voltage or unusually high ripple voltage at the source device output) as well as the effect of ampliﬁer power on speakers outside

their speciﬁcation (e.g. sine power of the ampliﬁer is far above the rated power handling of the speaker)

• individually assembled cables.

3. Do not disassemble or remove any components from our devices and loudspeakers (e.g. drivers), and do not send in such individual parts before you have contacted

Nubert Service and agreed on this measure.

4. In the event of a warranty claim, the defective product must be packed together with a copy of the purchase receipt and a meaningful description of the defect into the

original packaging, if possible, and sent to us (see below for address). We recommend to coordinate the return with us in order to receive the free return ticket. Returning

the goods within the warranty period is sufﬁcient to meet the deadline.

5. Address your correspondence, any returns and suggestions to:
