dm38
Positioning
We suggest that the dm38 be positioned as near to your loudspeakers as practical. This
will reduce the length of the loudspeaker cable required. The sides of the unit house
the heatsinks that are used to dissipate heat. The airflow to these should not be
interrupted. Ensure there is at least 12 inches (300mm) clearance around the unit.
Connections
Connecting the Mains Supply Cable
Plug the mains plug into the unit's socket, which is positioned, at the rear, on the base
of the bottom compartment, which houses the power supply. Ensure the cable exits to
the rear of the unit.
Do not plug into the mains outlet.
Connecting the Loudspeakers
The dm38 has 4 loudspeaker terminals:
•
2 x Po (Red Bezel).
•
2 x Negative - (Black Bezel).
All of the pure copper connections are finished with the highest-grade gold plating.
•
Ensure the positive terminal of the amplifier connects to the positive terminal of
the loudspeaker. This will ensure correct phasing of the audio signal.
•
The loudspeaker terminals will accept spade or hook terminals. Only fully
insulated terminal are to be used.
•
Ensure the loudspeaker terminals are securely tightened. Do not over tighten or
you may damage the terminals.
•
When connecting loudspeaker cables always ensure the conductive surfaces are
not touching each other. DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT THE TERMINALS.
There maybe high voltages present at the loudspeaker terminals, which can be
hazardous if touched. Always ensure the unit is switched to OFF or STANDBY
mode when connecting or disconnecting loudspeakers.
