SETTING UP / HELPFUL TIPS
• Position the DA12S in the desired location, and ensure the cabinet
is stable.
• Make sure the Power Switch is off.
• Make certain VOLUME knob is turned down.
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
• See page 9 for the most common setup with Simmons drum amps.
• Or see illustrations of other setup options below.
• See facing page information regarding Level switch
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
• Turn the knob to select a frequency for the crossover.
• Recommended settings for common sizes of full-range speakers
are indicated.
PHASE/LEVEL
• For initial use, Phase should be set to 0.
• For initial use, Level should be set to -10.
POWERING UP
• Turn on the power to any devices plugged into Input 1 or Input 2.
• Power ON the DA12S.
• Slowly turn the VOLUME knob to 12 o’clock.
• Slowly turn up the source volume to the desired level.
SIGNAL/LIMIT/LEVEL
• The SIGNAL LED will light green when input audio is detected.
• If the limiter is triggered, the LIMIT LED will turn RED, indicating the
VOLUME knob should be turned down to avoid distorted sound.
• If the LIMIT LED comes on when the VOLUME knob is already at a
low level, try setting the LEVEL switch to +4, and see information
regarding LEVEL switch on facing page.
PHASE/TIME ALIGNING DELAY
• Set up your system, and play audio through the system to evaluate
the low frequency response.
• Try PHASE set to 0, then 180, and leave the switch on the setting
that provides more low frequency impact.
• Turn TIME ALIGNING DELAY knob until the maximum sub bass is
heard.
LINKING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS
• If linking multiple subwoofers, plug the OUTPUT connection(s) of
the first subwoofer to the INPUT connection(s) of second subwoofer,
and continue the daisy chain to the next speaker.
• Turn the Power On in the order of the audio signal to prevent
unwanted “pops”. First On / Last Off.
