The Xeo system Xeo consists of several high-quality components that are optimally matched. When combined, they can fulfill the most demanding requirements for a wireless multi-room and multi-source system. NOTE: This manual describes all of the available Xeo components. It is possible that only a few of the descriptions are relevant to you, depending on your system configuration. Components 12 Xeo Hub The Xeo Hub is the control center for the Xeo system.
Combination examples Below you will find several examples of Xeo component combinations. The high level of flexibility in the Xeo system enables even more variants. Ask your Dynaudio distributor to find the perfect solution for your needs. Standard: Hub + loudspeaker Hub For a larger range: Hub + Extender + loudspeaker Hub Extender For additional active components: Hub + loudspeaker + Link This example would also be possible with only a Hub, Link, and active component.
Connection and operation This section describes the connections and control elements for the Xeo components. Please contact your Dynaudio Xeo distributor if you have any problems with connection and start-up. Distributor addresses can be found in the Internet at www.dynaudio.com. Remote control The Xeo remote control can be used to turn the loudspeakers on and off, change the volume, and select a Hub and its connected signal sources.
Display elements LED Connection status LED illuminated in blue: Connection established (to a loudspeaker, Extender, or Link). LED flashes: The Hub is searching for a connection. LED illuminated in red: The Hub could not establish a connection. Inputs 1 Aux in Input for cable with stereo jack (3.5 mm stereo) Connect devices here that have an output for the stereo jack. Line in Input for cable with RCA plug Connect devices here that have an output for the RCA plug.
Other connections and control elements Ethernet Network connection Intended for future functions. Id Transmission channel If you assign an ID, you can select the desired Hub from several Hubs using the remote control. In addition, each ID has its own transmission channel: A = 2.4 GHz, B = 5.2 GHz, C = 5.8 GHz. If the transmission quality is poor or there is a disruption caused by other radio systems, changing to a different channel may produce an improvement.

Division into audio zones Speaker Id Red Green Blue Speaker Id Red Green Blue Speaker Id The Xeo loudspeakers (as well as Xeo Link) can be assigned to an audio zone using the Zone selector switch. All components assigned to a zone can be operated together via the remote control.
Cloth cover The cloth cover has been designed so it does not influence the sound dispersion of the loudspeaker. The cloth cover is attached to the housing with magnets and may be removed if needed. Setting up CAUTION Spikes with pointed ends Xeo 6 floor-standing speakers are delivered with spikes for permanent installation on the floor. The pointed ends of the spikes may result in injuries and damage delicate floors. ►► Pay attention that you do not injure yourself with the spikes.
Switching on/standby mode To switch the loudspeaker on from standby mode: ►► Point the remote control at the loudspeaker and press the ON button or press on the interface display. ▼▼ The loudspeaker will automatically search for an active Hub and an audio signal. If found, the signal will be output (autoplay function). If there is no input signal, the loudspeaker will go into standby mode after a certain period. ►► To switch it on again, press the ON button or .
Interface display The display on the housing indicates the operational state of the loudspeakers and system using LEDs with various colors and flash functions. Buttons on the display On/off switch Pressing this button for longer than 2 seconds will switch the loudspeaker on or to standby mode. Input selection A brief press of this button switches between the inputs (1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1...). Only the inputs in use are shown. Volume control Increases or decreases the volume.
Switch-off process The LEDs go out one by one. In the final state, only one LED is illuminated dimly in red. The loudspeaker is being switched off. Select a Hub One of the three LEDs flashes. LED 1 = Hub A LED 2 = Hub B LED 3 = Hub C Select an input One of the four LEDs flashes. LED 1 = INPUT 1 LED 2 = INPUT 2 LED 3 = INPUT 3 LED 4 = INPUT 4 Hub search The blue LED flashes; the lights in the white LEDs move back and forth.
Xeo Extender The Xeo Extender extends the reception range of the Xeo Hub. As a result, Xeo loudspeakers or other Xeo components can be operated further away from the Hub. Connections and control elements Front Left LED Right LED Both LEDs Reception status LED illuminated in blue: There is a connection to a Hub. LED flashing in red: No connection to a Hub possible. Transmission status LED illuminated in blue: There is a connection to a loudspeaker/Link.
Connecting and establishing a link Hub Extender 1. Connect the Power socket to the voltage supply via the Xeo power supply unit. Do not use a different power supply unit! 2. Select the same ID on the Hub and Extender for the Hub Id In. E.g. Hub: Id = B → Extender: Hub Id In = B. 3. Select any (other) ID on the Extender for the Extender Id Out. It may not be identical to the Hub Id In. E.g. Extender Id Out = C NOTES: Two Extenders may also be used in a sequence. Select e.g.
Xeo Link The Xeo Link receives wireless signals from a Xeo Hub or Xeo Extender and outputs analog and digital signals from its connections. As a result, you can also connect active subwoofers, active loudspeakers, or other components to the Xeo system. Xeo Link can also be connected to a 1st generation Xeo Transmitter (analog or optical-digital). This lets you operate both Xeo systems together.
Connecting and establishing a link Hub Link 1. Connect the Power socket to the voltage supply via the Xeo power supply unit. Do not use a different power supply unit! 2. Select an audio zone: Red, Green, or Blue. Use one of the outputs to connect the Xeo Link with one of the active components, e.g. the active subwoofer Dynaudio Sub 600. 3. Select the desired signal source with the remote control and control the volume.
Malfunctions Interruptions, clicking noises, or other audible interference when playing music is usually not caused by the radio transmission in the Xeo system. Often other external causes influence the transmission quality. Below are a few tips for improving transmission quality: 1. 2. 3. 4. Position all radio transmitters and receivers away from each other. WLAN devices, radio receivers, and radio systems may influence each other if they are too close together.
