DD-8 Power Amplifiers

GettInG StarteD

Thank you for purchasing your new Lexicon DD-8 Multi-room Amplifier. The DD-8 features patented
DriveCore™ technology, delivering unprecedented levels of power from an amazingly small and
lightweight product. DriveCore takes more than 500 discrete components typically found in a
switching amplifier and fuses them onto a single silicon chip about the size of a dime. Coupled with
a power supply, this chip is capable of generating big output levels into a wide variety of speaker
loads giving you the flexibility to power almost any speaker from small in-ceilings to large in-room
floorstanding models.
In order to receive the maximum peak performance from your Lexicon amplifier, please take a few
minutes and completely read this manual. This important information will help you make certain that
your DD-8 is properly configured for operation with the rest of the equipment in your system.
