SETTING UP & TUNING IN
Connecting using the XLR sockets
A balanced signal connection (XLR sockets) provides a
connection that is far less susceptible to cable signal
interference compared to an unbalanced connection (RCA
connection). It is for this reason that XLR and balanced
connections are used almost exclusively in critical and
professional installations.
Provided your processor or receiver has a XLR symmetric
or balanced Output for subwoofer you should consider
using the XLR Input (No. 3 in fig. 2) on the Dynaudio
subwoofer. In a setup with multiple subwoofers you can
use the XLR connections between the Master and Slave
subwoofers, even if the connection between the processor
or receiver has been made using the RCA connectors.
Configuring and making connections using XLR is done in
the same way as using the RCA connectors. Please refer
to the sections "single subwoofer connection" and "multiple
subwoofer connections" in this chapter.
Dynaudio follows the most usual convention for termination
of XLR sockets:
Pin 1 = ground
Pin 2 =
Pin 3 = signal -
• Always ensure that all connections are correct: It
may be that the source equipment follows a
different way of terminating the XLR sockets or it
may be that the XLR connection cables
themselves do not comply. When in doubt, consult
your dealer.
• DO NOT use XLR and RCA connections in
parallel at the same time for the same connection.
Remote Control battery & battery replacement
Before the DSC 1 remote control can be used, it needs to
be fitted with the battery cell that comes separately packed
with the remote control. To replace and insert a battery
(refer to fig. 5):
• Release the battery tray by pushing its locking tab (No. 1
in fig. 5) on the back of the remote sideways with your
nail and at the same time; slide the tray out of the remote
control battery compartment.
• Remove the exhausted battery and dispose of properly.
Insert a fresh battery in the battery tray: Observe correct
polarity (both battery and tray are marked with a "+").
• Slide the battery tray into the battery compartment until
the locking tab clicks into place. Make sure it is inserted
the correct way up, the tray will slide into place easily, do
not use force.
• The battery will last a considerable time,
depending on frequency of use. When you notice
that the subwoofer doesn't always respond or only
from a very close range to commands from the
remote control, it is likely the battery is exhausted
and will need replacing.
• Use only CR2025 button cell batteries to replace
the original battery with; these are readily
available from most electrical stores.
Do not leave the remote control in high temperature
environments (such as in direct sunlight). In worst cases
this can possibly result in deformation of the remote control.
