d. Loosen and remove hex nuts from the main
crossover board as shown. Remove RED and
WHITE wires as indicated.
e. Attach RED wire from crossover board to red
woofer input binding post on input plate.
f. Attach WHITE wire from crossover board to
red midrange tweeter input binding post on input
plate.
g. Arrange all extra and unattached wires from
the crossover board or input plate neatly so it
will not rattle or cause any electrical shorts to
input plate.
h. Install input plates to speakers with Phillips
head screws.
3) Selecting a Location for Your DAX
The DAX has a separate power supply that should be located away from the main unit and any other signal
sources such as the preamp. Ideally, in order to minimize interconnect cable runs from your preamp to your
amplifiers, the DAX should be located fairly close to your power amplifiers, but not right on top or next to
them. However, the most obvious consideration in choosing a location is user accessibility.
The DAX should be kept away from stray magnetic fields which can be caused by A.C. outlets, televisions,
computers, and power supply transformers.
4) Input/Output Connections
The rear of the DAX is marked with left and right connections for both balanced and unbalanced
(single-ended) input and outputs. Either the balanced, unbalanced(single-ended) or a combination of the two
outputs may be used.
1. Main signal link
2. Output - Midrange/Tweeter
3. Output - Woofer
4. Power input connector
Notice that the balanced inputs are female and the outputs male. The vast majority of manufacturers with
balanced equipment use this convention. However, there does not seem to be any convention when it comes
to the wiring of the 3-pin XLR connectors. We have chosen pin #1 to be common, pin #2 to be the negative
signal, and pin #3 to be the positive signal. Reversing pin #2 and #3 is equivalent to an absolute phase
inversion.
