Precautions Before Connection

Always turn off the power to your amplifier before making any connections. Before turning on your amplifier, make sure that the volume is at a minimum and that there are no short circuits in the wiring. When deciding on the final location, ensure there is enough space behind the amplifier for interconnect cables.

IV. Connections

Power Supply

Plug the female end of the mains cable supplied into the power connector on the rear panel, and connect the other end to a wall socket. If this cable is not suitable for your electrical outlet, please contact your dealer.

Using the Loudspeakers

The Connect 2130 Xi amplifier is designed to power a pair of 4 or 8 Ω impedance loudspeakers. The amplifier terminals are Euroblock.

Use in Stereo Mode

In stereo configuration, set the slider to the "STEREO" position. In stereo mode, you can connect two loudspeakers (2 x 130W).

Loudspeaker Connection Diagram in Stereo Mode

Connect the right loudspeaker to the "R +" and "R -" terminals and the left loudspeaker to the "L +" and "L -" terminals.

Use in Mono / 100V Mode

In this MONO/100V configuration, set the slider to "MONO/100V". In mono mode, you can connect a single loudspeaker (1 x 250W / 8Ω). In 100V mode, you can connect several loudspeakers in parallel. Ensure correct channel (right and left) connections between your preamplifier, amplifiers, and loudspeakers for a faithful stereo image.

Low Power Mode

If you are not using your device for a long time, you can switch it to LOW POWER mode by sending a constant signal (5V to 12V) to the TRIGGER IN input. To exit this mode, reset the signal to 0. For multiple Connect 2130Xi devices, you can chain the signal via the TRIGGER OUT output to the next device's input. The LOW POWER mode switches the power module to standby. For extended periods of non-use, switch off the device using the On/Off switch.

V. Using the Stream S300 Xi

Wi-Fi Connection

To connect your Elipson Stream S300 Xi to your home network, follow the instructions in the Elipson Multiroom application. Refer to tutorials on the Elipson website for assistance.

Resetting Parameters

Press and hold the "RESET" button on the front of the unit until the "Power", "LAN", "BT", "AUX" LEDs flash simultaneously. The unit will then automatically start the Wi-Fi network connection procedure.

WiIM HOME App

The WiIM HOME App allows you to connect your product to the network via your smartphone or tablet and manage multiple Elipson devices simultaneously. The app is compatible with Apple and Android™ devices and can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play.

The application allows you to:

• Connect to over 15,000 digital radios

• Manage sound volume
• Simultaneously add and control other Elipson products

Source Management

By default, the Connect 2130Xi is in AUX/LINE IN mode via the S300Xi streamer. To switch to Wi-Fi mode, stream music using the WiM HOME app or via AirPlay 2 or Chromecast. Source selection (Wi-Fi or LINE IN) is done via the Elipson Multiroom application. Switching to TV ARC source is automatic upon signal detection.

Volume Adjustment

• HDMI ARC: Volume is controlled by the television.
• Line input: Volume is controlled by the WiM HOME application via the STREAM S300Xi.
• Bluetooth: Volume is managed by the connected device.
