Introduction!
Please read this manual fully before unpacking and installing the pro-
duct. It will help you to optimise the performance of your speakers.
Unpacking and maintenance
Your speaker should be treated with the same care you would treat a
piece of furniture. Use only a piece of soft cloth to clean the loudspea-
kers. After unpacking, we suggest you retain all packing material for
future transports.
Running-in period
The performance of the speaker will change subtly during the listening
period.
Please allow your new speakers to play about 20 hours of music at
normal listening level before doing any critical listening.
System
DLS Flatsub 8 is an efficient, active subwoofer with a built-in 100 W
analogue power amplifier. The loudspeaker unit is a specially developed,
8”, long-stroke woofer with a powerful magnetic system.
DLS subwoofer is designed to interact with Hi-Fi equipment, surround
installations and multi-media systems. The subwoofer allows great
freedom in placement. With the control you can adjust phase, crossover
frequency and level, which makes it easy to adjust for the acoustics in
your listening room.
Connecting power supply
The switch "Power" is the on/off switch for the subwoofer. Normal posi-
tion is AUTO ON which makes the subwoofer start with the rest of your
system, POWER LED glows green. After a period without input signal
the amplifier atomatically reverts to standby, POWER LED glows red.
The power switch "OFF" position is used when the subwoofer should
not be used for some time.
CAUTION!
If you hear distortion when you increase the volume this is normally a
sign of overloading the subwoofer and you should immediately reduce
the level. We recommend that you use the volume control with care.

have difficulty in achieving the fine performance of which your DLS
loudspeaker system is capable, consult the DLS dealer from whom
