DD-8+ Power

GETTING STARTED

Thank you for purchasing your new Lexicon DD-8+ Network Amplifier. The Lexicon® DD-8+ is an advanced multi-
channel amplifier with network controlled matrix routing and multi-channel digital signal processing (DSP);
that provides a pallet sound shaping controls and system configuration tools. 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. Be sure to check Lexicon.com
periodically for the latest DD8+ updates.
