DLM12S Subwoofer: Rear Panel Features

1. Power  Connection

This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector. 

Connect the detachable power cord (included in    
the packaging with the subwoofer) to the power 
receptacle, and plug the other end of the power    
cord into an AC outlet.

Make sure that the AC power is matched to 
the AC power indicated on the rear panel  
(to the left of the IEC receptacle).

Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is  
dangerous. Don’t do it!

2. Power  Switch

Press the top of this rocker switch inwards to turn 

on the subwoofer. The front panel power LED will glow 
with happiness...or at least it will if the subwoofer is 
plugged into a suitable live AC mains supply.

Press the bottom of this rocker switch inwards to turn 

off the subwoofer.

As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal 
source) should be turned on first, DLM12S 
subwoofers next, and loudspeakers last.    

As such, the loudspeakers should also be turned off first, 
followed by the subwoofers, then the mixer. This will 
reduce the possibility of any turn-on or turn-off thumps 
and other noises generated by any upstream equipment 
from coming out of the speakers.

3. Fan Vents

Do not obstruct the ventilation openings 
of the subwoofer. Fans move air over the 
heatsinks to cool down the power transistors. 

If these vents are restricted, then the subwoofer may 
overheat and shut down.

4. XLR  Inputs

Balanced XLR female connectors are provided for the 

left and right inputs. Connect the full-range line-level 
signal from the mixer (or other signal source) to these 
input jacks.

If you are connecting a single subwoofer output, or 

LFE (low-frequency effects) output to the subwoofer, 
you may use either the A or B input connector.

NEVER connect the output of an amplifier 
directly to the input of the subwoofer.    
This could damage the input circuitry of the 
active subwoofer.
