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 speak-
er or in the immediate vicinity!
• If the loudspeaker is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, conden-
sation 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 or foreign bodies may get into the device.
• Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should objects have
got inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately and contact Nubert elec-
tronic 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 loudspeaker on
suitable base plates only. The threaded bushings on the underside of the loud-
speaker enclosures are not designed for tensile loads and must therefore not be
used as holders for hooks or similar devices in order to suspend the loudspeaker
cabinet. A falling speaker may cause serious injury and damage.
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 com-
ply with all applicable laws and regulations and be professionally 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 requirements
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 power 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 damaged (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 thun-
derstorms 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 de-
crease signicantly. If this happens, replace the batteries immediately. Always

Low temperatures and Sound
When speakers are shipped and delivered during the cold months
of the year, it is imperative that they adapt to the temperature of
the living area. Low temperatures have a considerable inuence
on the moving parts of a loudspeaker such as diaphragm, voice
coil, bead and spider. The ability of these components to follow
rapid oscillations or to perform large excursions is thus signicantly
restricted. This is not dangerous, but “frozen” speakers are far from
their acoustic peak.
Hence our tip: When your new speakers arrive on a cold winter’s
day, just give them a few hours to acclimatise. Your Nubert speak-
ers will thank you with the superior sound quality you have come
to expect from us.

44
Setup
The nuPro X are high-quality, very neutral active stereo loudspeak-
ers. They impress with an extremely homogeneous, precise, and
“direct” sound reproduction with the nest resolution in the entire
frequency spectrum. However, even “honest loudspeakers” are
exposed to the manifold inuences of room acoustics. In order to
achieve the most natural and true-to-life reproduction possible,
please observe the following general installation instructions:
• The distance to rear- and sidewalls should ideally be as big as
possible, we recommend at least half a meter. Some distance to
the back- and side walls also helps prevent an increase in the
bass- and fundamental ranges.
• If the bass reproduction is perceived as being too strong when
the speakers are placed close to a wall, you can raise the lower
cut-off frequency of the speakers, as described on page 8 under
system hp, and/or adjust the bass volume with the bass control as
a “countermeasure”.
• Within horizontal listening angles up to 30 degrees off the hori-
zontal axis, you will experience no signicant change or loss in
sound quality. Only at wider listening angles does the sound lose
its brightness slightly. It is then advisable to point the speakers
towards the listening position.
• The most natural sound is achieved when the tweeters are ap-
proximately at ear level. But even 20 degrees above or below
the tweeter axis, the sound is still homogeneous. If your active
speakers need to be placed lower or higher, they should ideally
be angled so that the tweeters are aimed at the listening position.
Cloth grille
The cloth grille protects the loudspeaker drivers (for example from
curious children who like to press in tweeter domes) and provides a
visual contrast for those who do not like the technical appearance
of loudspeaker drivers. It is carefully placed against the front of the
speaker and held in place magnetically. Please make sure that the
surface of the bafe is not damaged.
With the cloth grill removed, the loudspeaker sounds somewhat
brighter and clearer - the choice is yours!

Construction and technology
Tilt Control
The midrange/treble adjustment of the nuPro loudspeakers shows
the characteristics of a so-called “Tilt control”. While standard treble
controls “bend” the frequency response and thus produce colour-
ations, this control continuously affects the frequency response in
a linear fashion. This perfectly preserves the basic tonal character
of the loudspeaker and the harmony of the sound image. The Mid/
Hi tone control allows an increase or decrease of the frequency
response with a maximum of 10 dB at 20 kHz.
Analog gain
The input sensitivity for the analog inputs XLR and AUX can be
adjusted in 2 steps (0 dB / +6 dB).
Digital Signal Processing
For maximum signal purity, the signal path of a nuPro X is kept on
the digital level as far as technically possible. Thus, the input signal
is transferred to a digital signal processor (DSP) by the shortest
route, which takes over the frequency distribution and the optimiza-
tion of the frequency response. Also the passing on to the amplier
components is done digitally, so that the maximum signal to noise
ratio and precision can be guaranteed.
Time correction
Due to the digital signal processing every nuPro X loudspeaker has
a small delay of the sound signal. If the nuPro speakers are operat-
ed as a stereo pair in the PAIR conguration, any time differences
between the speakers are automatically compensated so that the
left and right signals are reproduced at exactly the same time. The
result is the best possible spatial reproduction with precise voice
positioning.
Sound format
The nuPro X loudspeakers process signals at the digital inputs in
“PCM” format. It may therefore be necessary to adjust the settings of
players such as TV sets or game consoles accordingly. To do this,
select “PCM” as the output format in the playback menu. Please also
refer to the manual of your player.
Switching off a nuPro X pair
If the master box switches to standby mode (due to automatic
switch-off or manually with the remote control), the other boxes op-
erated in PAIR mode follow automatically.
Auto-on function
The automatic switch-off/switch-on reacts differently depending
on the pre-selected input. If no signal is present at the analog sig-
nal inputs, an automatic switch-off takes place within 20 minutes.
Switching on is reversed as soon as a music signal is detected. At
the other inputs, the activity of the connected source device is mon-
itored and therefore immediately switched off or on. At the inputs
Spdif, Optical, Port, AES the presence of the digital data stream is
evaluated, while at the USB input the presence of the USB supply
voltage is considered.
Note: Modern computers often have USB sockets with a voltage
applied even when the computer is switched off (e.g. for charging
a mobile phone). If you want to use the auto-on function of your
nuPro active loudspeakers in conjunction with the USB input, you
must select a USB connector that does not have continuous voltage.

stereo boards (remote control labeled Remote AS) do not in-
uence each other. This means that combinations of these
systems can also be operated without triggering unwanted op-
erations.

Every nuPro X has the same range of functions and the same con-
nections. Depending on the cabling (see the “Setup” section), the
nuPro active loudspeakers automatically congure themselves as
master or slave loudspeaker boxes after switching on: the link-out
loudspeaker box becomes master, the SPDIF-in loudspeaker box
becomes slave. All settings of the loudspeakers are now based on
this assignment. You are then ready to play.
Alternatively you can connect nuPro X loudspeakers wirelessly. After
switching on your speakers, you use the MENU control in the setup
to determine which of the speakers becomes master or slave - see
below, topic “setup”.
All settings can be made at any time on the front of the master
speaker box using the control pad and can be read on the display.
Note: If no settings are made, the display changes automatically
after 8 seconds to the permanent operating display of the volume
or the nuPro logo. With this change, all settings made are saved.
However, if the nuPro’s power connection is disconnected before
the automatic saving takes place, it will load the last saved settings
on restart.

Further Applications
Conjunction with a subwoofer
If your nuPro active speakers are to be used in conjunction with a
subwoofer, you can connect it to the SUB connector. This provides
a mono sum signal with a low pass lter for subwoofers. The cross-
over frequency can be selected in the sub out menu item. The
selection of the suitable crossover frequency of the nuPro active
loudspeakers can be made under system hp (see above “Cong-
uration > advanced > system hp”). The relative volume of the sub-
woofer can be adjusted at the subwoofer itself.
Connecting a nuPro pair to a preamplier
In addition to connecting a preamplier to a nuPro pair in master-
slave mode, an external preamplier can also be connected direct-
ly to the individual nuPro active loudspeakers. As with conventional
active loudspeakers without master-slave functionality, the boxes
can then be congured independently of each other. Connect the
output of the left channel of your preamplier to the nuPro on the
left and the output of the right channel to the nuPro on the right.
Note: Assign the left input AUX L in the nuPro speaker box. Do
not connect the boxes to each other with the SPDIF coaxial cable.
Use of a single nuPro
Every nuPro X has the possibility to play the left or right channel as
well as a mono sum signal. To do this, select the menu item chan-
nel. (See above “Conguration > channel”).
Use of more than two nuPro active loudspeakers
(see illustration below)
To supply a larger number of nuPro active loudspeakers with the
same signal, the connection from Link out to SPDIF in can be per-
formed repeatedly. In this case it is recommended to congure
each nuPro individually and therefore to select the entry single
in the menu item setup. Then you can navigate to the menu item
channel and select the channel that the respective nuPro should
play back. (For further information see section “Conguration > set-
up” above).
Note: In the single conguration, the speaker box at the link output
outputs the selected input signal completely in SPDIF format. It is
therefore possible to transmit the signal repeatedly.
