Utility Link terminal Input/Output
If two Dynaudio subwoofers are to be used, they may be connected via the Utility Link. With
this link a total of six input terminals is possible. This feature is intended for use with a multi-
channel surround sound system.
In discreet surround sound systems such as AC-3, MPEG- 2, and DTS, all 5 channels can be
full range. With the Dynaudio Utility Link, the two subwoofers sum all these channels into
one mono subwoofer channel, reproduced by the two subwoofers.
Connect the two subwoofers via the <UTILITY In/Out>.
Connect all outputs from the surround sound system to <IN Mono>, <IN R> and <IN L> on
both subwoofers arbitrarily. It is not necessary to use all inputs. More on this setup is
mentioned later in the manual.
Standby
The subwoofer has an internal standby function. The standby will be activated when there is
no input signal to the subwoofer for 10 minutes.
When powering on and off, the mute circuit will mute both the subwoofer itself and the
output terminals. This ensures that no noise can be heard in the subwoofer and in the main
speakers (if using the outputs).
Due to a very low standby power consumption, the subwoofer power switch may be left on
continuously. If unused for several days, it is recommended to switch off the main power or
disconnect the device from the main outlet.
When using the 80 Hz low frequency cut-off for the main speakers, do not switch off the
power for the subwoofer while the sound system is playing. If this is done, the signal to the
output terminal will be muted. After a few minutes music should become present in the main
speakers, but very attenuated. This is not a fault, but merely a result of signal passing through
the electronics when no power is supplied. If listening is desired while the subwoofer is
switched off, set the output switch to position <Flat>.
Subsonic filter
The subwoofer has an active second order (12 dB/octave below 20 Hz) subsonic filter to
prevent rumble, speaker distortion, or overload situations caused by signals that cannot be
heard.
