5. XLR and 1/4" Combo Inputs

Channel 1 may accept a mic or line-level signal via
XLR or line-level signal via TRS 1/4" cable. Be aware of
the position of the mic/line switch [6].
Channel 2 may accept Hi-Z sources (such as guitars)
via the 1/4" input without the need for a separate DI box
or line-level signal via XLR.
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier
directly to the input of the loudspeaker.
This could damage the input circuitry
of the active loudspeaker.

6. Mic/Line Switch [Channel 1 Only]

Leave this switch out when connecting a line-level
signal to the channel 1 input connector (from a mixer,
keyboard, or other line-level signal source).
Push this switch in when connecting a microphone
directly to the channel 1 input connector. Since a
microphone produces a much weaker signal than a
line-level source, this provides an additional 30 dB of
gain to boost the microphone signal to a line level.
Read the paragraph listed above again...
30 dB of gain is a lot, so be sure the switch
is engaged only if a mic is connected to the
channel 1 input!

7. RCA Inputs [Channel 2 Only]

The stereo unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to
play a CD player, iPod
, or other line-level source.
®
The tape in jacks accept an unbalanced signal using
standard hi-fi [RCA] hookup cables.

8. Thru Output

This is a male XLR-type connector that produces
exactly the same signal that is connected to the
main input jack or a mix of channels 1 and 2. Use it to
daisy-chain several DLM loudspeakers together off
the same signal source(s). See page 8 to learn more
about daisy-chaining DLM loudspeakers.

9. Ch 1/Mix Switch [Thru Output]

This switch allows you to choose whether only the
channel 1 signal is sent out to the next loudspeaker
[switch out – Ch 1] or if a mix of the channel 1
and 2 signals are sent out to the next loudspeaker
[switch in – Mix].

10. OLED Display

The OLED Display is one of the most vital features
of the DLM loudspeaker. It displays loudspeaker
information including (but not limited to) level,
EQ, FX selected and levels and other parameters.
When a DLM loudspeaker is powered up, the last
state it was in will load up and the OLED Display will
present the channel 1 screen and settings.
DLM loudspeakers will display a running Running
Man screensaver if parameters haven't been changed in
awhile. Simply touch one of the DL2 buttons to "wake
up" the display.
