CONFIGURING THE AMPLIFIER FOR USE WITH YOUR
SUBWOOFER SYSTEM
WARNING: The following procedure is imperative for correct system setup and optimal
sound. Failure to follow the instructions below will result in permanent damage to
amplifier and subwoofer. Such damage is NOT covered under the Paradigm warranty.
The 3-Position “EQ” Switch on the X-300 amplifer’s rear panel must be correctly positioned:
Setting 1: Use this setting with all PCS Series subwoofers with or without a backbox
NOTE: This setting is also displayed on your amplifier’s back panel.
For more detailed information, refer to the Owners Manual that came with your Paradigm
®
X-300 Amplifier.

Paradigm
®
in-wall/in-ceiling subwoofers are suitable for use in a wide variety of listening environments.
Note however, that room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part in the quality of sound you
ultimately achieve. Try to follow these guidelines:
a) Strong, rigid walls and ceilings are preferred for best bass balance. For even better results we
recommend adding additional bracing and acoustic damping material to the cavity prior to installation.
See section on ”Subwoofer Installation” later in this manual for more details.
b) It is important to note that just as the amount of soft furnishings has a decided impact on mid and high
frequencies, those frequencies below 150 Hz are dramatically affected by the room itself—its size,
shape, as well as the physical boundaries of the room.
The extra care you take in correctly positioning your subwoofers will result in greater listening enjoyment.
Follow the guidelines for placement below to achieve optimal sound in your room.
THE LISTENING ROOM
GUIDELINES FOR DECIDING ON SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
When considering subwoofer placement directly into a wall or ceiling, keep the following in mind:
DO NOT install subwoofers into lath or plaster—over time, the bass vibrations will cause material
to crack;
DO NOT install subwoofers into cavities that contain ductwork;
DO NOT locate subwoofers close to wall or ceiling-mounted fixtures that may vibrate (remember to
check the other side of the wall too!);
DO NOT install subwoofers in a cavity that already contains an in-wall or in-ceiling speaker;
If installing in a wall or ceiling with metal studs, make sure studs are securely fastened so that they do
not vibrate or rattle;
Some acoustic bleed-through into the adjacent room is unavoidable. See section on ”Subwoofer
Installation” for suggestions to reduce bleed-through.

Paradigm
®
in-wall/in-ceiling subwoofers are designed to be used in pairs. Using a pair of subwoofers will
allow you to randomize the standing waves within your listening room so that bass is distributed in a more
uniform manner. Two subwoofers also ensures even lower distortion, especially at high output levels.
Bass is less and less directional as it goes down in frequency. For best sonic integration, placing one
subwoofer in the wall or ceiling at the front of the room and the other in the wall or ceiling at the rear
usually provides the best performance and sonic integration. If this location is not possible, keeping in mind
the guidelines provided earlier, you may place your subwoofers anywhere in the wall or ceiling without
affecting the stereo image of your front speakers or the soundstage of your multichannel speaker system.
Figs. 2a, 2b and 2c highlight how bass output is generally affected by in-wall and in-ceiling placement.
When seated in the typical listening area of your room, placing the subwoofers in the various positions will
typically result in bass performance as follows:
Fig. 2a: In Wall
– Corner placement close to the floor provides the best balance of output and accuracy.
Fig. 2b: In Wall
– Placement anywhere along the walls close to the floor, but outside the "shaded" area
will provide slightly reduced output, though still acceptable accuracy.
Fig. 2c: In Ceiling
– Corner placement close to the walls provides a good balance of output and accuracy.
NOTE: If your subwoofer has a rotating drive assembly it should be positioned so that sound is aimed
toward a corner of the room for best balance of output and accuracy.
If desired, for further optimized bass performance and even greater output, you can install an additional pair of
Paradigm
®
in-wall or in-ceiling subwoofers. Figure 3 provides recommended placement for four subwoofers.

COLOR MATCH PAINTING
(optional)
Your new subwoofer has a textured finish in neutral white to blend into any area. It may also be painted to
match any décor. If you plan to paint your subwoofer, to avoid "painting it to the wall", we recommend that
you paint it before installation.
Please note:
Do not paint the surface behind the grille;
Do not heat-cure your newly painted subwoofer;
Avoid painting the subwoofer’s rear surface—protect it by masking it
(paint mask included).
To Paint, Follow These Steps:
1) Remove the metal grille and position the paint mask
(included)
in its place.
2) In a well-ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint, letting the subwoofer housing dry completely
between coats. Follow the paint manufacturer’s directions.
3) When painting grille, be careful not to plug holes with paint and re-attach after paint has dried. It is easier
to spray the grille than to use a brush. Remove protective cloth
(if included)
. Remove grille before
painting.
