Cambridge Audio Minx X201 Speaker F.A.Q.

How do I connect my Cambridge Audio Minx X201 to my AV receiver?

To connect your Minx X201 to an AV receiver, use an RCA cable. Connect one end to the 'Subwoofer Out' or 'LFE' output on your AV receiver and the other end to the 'LFE In' input on the Minx X201. Ensure the subwoofer is set to 'On' in your AV receiver's speaker settings.

What is the best placement for the Minx X201 in a room for optimal sound?

The best placement for the Minx X201 is typically in the corner of the room, as this can enhance bass performance. However, you should experiment with placement, as room acoustics can vary. Avoid placing it too close to walls or furniture that could block sound waves.

How can I reduce distortion from my Minx X201 subwoofer?

To reduce distortion, ensure that the subwoofer is not set to a volume level higher than necessary. Adjust the crossover frequency on the subwoofer or AV receiver to better match your main speakers. Make sure the subwoofer is not placed in a location with excessive vibrations.

What should I do if my Minx X201 is not powering on?

Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the subwoofer and the power outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional by testing it with another device. Verify that the power switch on the subwoofer is in the 'On' position. If the problem persists, consult Cambridge Audio customer support.

How do I adjust the crossover frequency on the Minx X201?

To adjust the crossover frequency, locate the 'Crossover Frequency' knob on the back panel of the Minx X201. Turn the knob to set the desired crossover point, typically between 40Hz and 150Hz, depending on your main speakers' capabilities and preferences.

Can I use the Minx X201 with a soundbar?

Yes, you can use the Minx X201 with a soundbar if the soundbar has a subwoofer output. Connect the subwoofer output on the soundbar to the LFE input on the Minx X201 using an RCA cable. Adjust settings on the soundbar to ensure the subwoofer is recognized and configured correctly.

How do I clean my Minx X201 subwoofer?

To clean your Minx X201, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior surfaces. Avoid using water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the finish. For the grille, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris.

Why is there no sound coming from my Minx X201?

Ensure all cables are securely connected and the subwoofer is powered on. Check that the volume is turned up and not muted on both the subwoofer and your audio source. Verify that the audio settings on your AV receiver or soundbar are correctly configured to output sound to the subwoofer.

How do I update the firmware on my Minx X201?
