Rear Panel
1.
Volume Knob: This knob adjusts the gain level of all
three of the rear panel inputs (XLR, 1/4" and RCA). The
gain is at minimum when the knob is turned fully
counter-clockwise; the gain is set to its maximum level
when the knob is turned fully clockwise; additionally, the
gain is set to unity when at the 12:00 position. Adjust
this knob to a position where you are working with a
comfortable range of travel on the output volume knob
of
your
connected
controller, or mixing console.
2.
Low Frequency Knob: This knob boosts or cuts the
low-frequency response of the loudspeaker, allowing
you to tailor the response of the loudspeaker's woofer to
the acoustics of your environment. The low-frequency
response can be boost or cut by 6 dB, at a center
frequency of 100 Hz. When the knob is set to the center
position, no boost or cut is applied.
3.
Mid Frequency Knob: This knob boosts or cuts the
mid-frequency response of the loudspeaker, allowing
you to tailor the response of the mid-range driver to the
acoustics of your environment. The mid-frequency
response can be boost or cut by 6 dB, at a center
frequency of 1 kHz. When the knob is set to the center
position, no boost or cut is applied.
4.
High Frequency Knob: This knob boosts or cuts the high-frequency response of the loudspeaker,
allowing you to tailor the response of the tweeter to the acoustics of your environment. The high-
frequency response can be boost or cut by 6 dB, at a center frequency of 10 kHz. When the knob is
set to the center position, no boost or cut is applied.
5.
XLR Input (+4 dBu): This input jack accepts line-level signals from a balanced XLR connector.
Connect your audio interface, loudspeaker controller, mixer, or other line-level audio source to this
jack.
6.
1/4" Input (+4 dBu): This input jack accepts line-level signals from a balanced 1/4" TRS connector.
Connect your audio interface, loudspeaker controller, mixer, or other line-level audio source to this
jack.
7.
RCA Input (-10 dBV): This connector accepts line-level signals from audio sources with unbalanced
RCA-style outputs.
8.
EQ Bypass Switch: This switch allows you to toggle all three bands of equalization for the
loudspeaker on/off with a single control. When the switch is set to "bypass", no equalization will be
applied to the loudspeaker drivers, no matter what position the equalization knobs are set to.
9.
Low Cutoff Switch: This 3-position switch allows you to further tailor the low-frequency cutoff point
of your DN-508S loudspeaker, by filtering audio below a certain cutoff frequency.
• Flat: No low-cut
• 80 Hz: Audio material below the frequency of 80 Hz is filtered
• 100 Hz: Audio material below the frequency of 100 Hz is filtered
10.
Input Voltage Selector: This recessed switch adjusts the input voltage from 100-120V or 220-240V
and allows your DN-508S loudspeaker to be used worldwide. Make sure this switch is set correctly for
your country to prevent damage to the loudspeaker.
Important: Power outlets in North America, Japan, and many parts of South America usually supply
between 100V and 120V, whereas outlets in Europe and most of Africa and Asia provide between
220V and 240V. If you are not sure about your region, be sure to check your power outlet's rating and
set the Input Voltage selector before connecting and switching on your DN-508S loudspeakers.
11.
Power Switch: This switch powers your DN-508S loudspeakers on and off. The "auto-power" feature
will go into low-power "eco" mode if there is no signal present for about 12 minutes. To "wake" from
low-power mode, send an audio signal to the speakers.
12.
Power Connector: This socket accepts a standard IEC-type power cable.
