SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place loudspeaker in the desired location. Ensure that it is secure and stable.
2. Rotate the input attenuator knob counterclockwise to the lowest setting.
3. Connect signal via the XLR input jack.
4. Connect the amplifier module’s power supply cord using the blue PowerCON connectors. To insert, align the indexing tabs on the
PowerCON connector, insert it into the socket and rotate clockwise until the latch catches.
5. Connect the electrical plug to a power source. Check that the “Ready” LED is illuminated.
6. Select the desired preset via the PRESET SELECT button.
7. Rotate the input attenuator clockwise to achieve the desired sound level.
CONTROLS:
Preset Select:
The DV12 compact full-range loudspeaker’s DSP is equipped with 4 presets. All four presets contain limiter settings to ensure safe operation. The presets are
accessed via the preset select button on the amplifier interface, between the XLR input and output connectors. When the button is pressed, each preset loads in
sequence, from 1 to 4, and then cycling back to 1. A green LED indicates the active preset.
Gain:
The level knob provides a range of control from OFF to +12dB within each preset.
Indicators:
Ready - Green LED - Indicates that the amplifier has power and is operational.
Signal - Green LED - Indicates the presence of signal reaching the amplifier inputs.
Temp - Amber LED - Indicates the amplifier is actively reducing level to prevent overheating.
Limit - Red LED - Flashing - Indicates that the loudspeaker is being overdriven.
Limit - Red LED - Solid or rapid blinking - Indicates amplifier is in protect mode.
Preset Functions:
Preset 1: Stand-alone Full-Range Operation. 40Hz high-pass filter. Recommended for use when no sub is available. Peak output is restricted to prevent low
frequencies damaging the loudspeaker.
Preset 2: Intermediate Stand-Alone setting, 60Hz high-pass. Recommended for use with a single sub or when subwoofers are separated from DV12s, such as when
subs are center-placed.
Preset 3: Intermediate High-Output setting. 80Hz high-pass. Recommended for use when single subwoofers are co-located with the DV12s, such as if the DV12s are
on a speaker pole above a subwoofer or on a tripod adjacent to a subwoofer.
Preset 4: Maximum SPL Setting, 100Hz high-pass. Recommended for use when outdoors, in larger venues and/or when multiple or larger subwoofers are co-located
with the DV12s.
Presets 2, 3 and 4 allow the DV12s to be combined with various subwoofer configurations and allow the sound to be tailored to different environments. It is
recommended to listen to the appropriate presets in each new setting and choose the one that works best in that environment.
DV12 Arrayed Pairs:
The DV12s can be arrayed in pairs, with the second cabinet inverted above the first. Any preset can be chosen provided both cabinets are set to the same preset and
the gains are matched. Optional hardware is required to attach the two boxes together. The hardware allows for adjustment of the total vertical coverage of the
array. The DV12 is also equipped with a power pass-through facility that allows two boxes to be connected on a single power source. An optional PowerCON jumper
cable is available for this purpose. Using the signal and power pass-through connectors allows the minimum number of cables to be run to the array.
NOTE: Arrayed pairs must be set to the same preset number and level to achieve phase-coherent summing.
