1 M
AINS CONNECTOR
(MAINS IN)
The PSD receives its power supply via
the lockable MAINS IN connector. Only
the provided power cord may be used.
Connect the PSD only to a mains net-
work, which corresponds to the requi-
rements indicated on the type plate.
Press the yellow button at the plug to disconnect the pow-
er cord.
2 M
AINS SWITCH
(ON/OFF)
Mains switch for switching the unit‘s power
ON or OFF. The ON LED lights after turning
the power ON. If the mains cord is correctly
connected, mains voltage is present and the
LED does not light upon power-on, please
contact your local dealer.
3 O
UTPUT FOR SUB SIGNAL
(EXTERNAL SUB OUTPUT)
This output socket is for the connec-
tion of an additional passive subwoo-
fer. The PSD has a built-in DSP for
signal processing of the signal
applied to the INPUT port. The lower
band of the processed signal is
played back by the PSD and is also
present at this output. We recommend connecting a
PSE 215 to a PSD 215 or a PSE 218 to a PSD 218.
HINT: Only connect subwoofers with a minimum power
rating of 500 W
RMS
and a minumum impedance
of 8 ohms.
4 O
UTPUT FOR MID
/
HI SIGNAL
(TOP SPEAKER OUTPUT)
This output socket is for the connec-
tion of a passive satellite cabinet.
The PSD has a built-in DSP for signal
processing of the signal applied to
the INPUT port. The upper band of
the processed signal is present at
this output. The output provides a
power capacity of up to 1000 W
RMS
into 4 ohms.
HINT: The minimum allowable impedance at the TOP
SPEAKER OUTPUT is 4 ohms.
5 USB
CONNECTOR
(SERVICE)
This connector is reserved for future func-
tions.
6 O
UTPUT FOR
DSP
OUT SIGNAL
(DSP OUT)
The DSP output signal – i.e. the post-digital-si-
gnal-processing-unit audio signal – is present
at the DSP OUT connector. The DSP OUT can
be utilized for feeding the digitally processed
audio signal from the PSD to additional powe-
red speakers or amplifiers (without DSP mo-
dule). Use the DSP OUT Settings dialog (see page 10) in
the menu for configuring the output signal. The output si-
gnal is electronically balanced with a maximum level of
+15 dBu. Output impedance is 150 ohms.
7 O
UTPUT CONNECTOR
(THRU)
The output connector provides the INPUT si-
gnal for ”carrying through“ the input signal.
This allows a simple cabling from one device
to another.
8 I
NPUT CONNECTOR FOR AUDIO SIGNAL
(INPUT)
Electronically balanced input for the connec-
tion of a line level signal source such as mixer,
signal processor, etc. Establishing a connec-
tion is possible via phone or XLR-type plugs.
Whenever possible, balanced signal feed is
always preferable to guard against potential
noise or HF-interference.

NCODER
(MENU/ENTER)
Adjust the volume (SUB Level) of the PSD by
turning the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder. In
menu mode (see page 8) the MENU/ENTER
rotary encoder is used for navigation and for
selecting and editing parameters. Press the
MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to select or
execute the highlighted menu item.
10 D
ISPLAY WITH FOUR FUNCTION KEYS
The PSD includes a premium OLED display. Compared to
general LC displays the OLED display is brighter, has a
greater contrast ratio and a wider viewing angle. The start
screen appears after switching the PSD on. After a few
seconds the active preset and other system parameters
are displayed. Now you can adjust the volume (SUB Level)
of the PSD by turning the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder.
