ROTATING THE HORN:

To rotate the horn, two medium (3 mm) flat-blade screwdrivers and a 3 mm hex (Allen) key are
required.
First remove the grille. The grille is constructed from a steel mesh which is flexible; slight
bending of the sides allow it to be retained in grooves on either side of the cabinet. There are
three notches in the side of the grille. Insert the two screwdrivers into the upper two of these and
carefully prise the grille out of its slot. When the top and middle are clear you can remove the
top screwdriver and repeat the operation with the lower notch until the edge is completely clear
of the slot. The grille will then pop away from the cabinet.
Next, use the hex key to remove the eight M5 screws holding the horn in place. Withdraw the
horn a few centimetres from the cabinet and rotate it to the desired position, noting the icons
showing the orientation for the various modes of operation. Replace all eight screws and tighten.
Replace the grille by inserting one edge into the slot on one side of the cabinet. Pull the other
side outwards whilst pushing the middle of the grille inwards so that the edges clears the cabinet
side and you can push it all the way into position.

STACKING:

DD12s may be ground-stacked. This is commonly done for front fills on a stage lip. Landscape
orientation will generally be more appropriate as the cabinets will be less obtrusive. See the
notes above regarding horn rotation.

POLE MOUNTING:

The DD12 is fitted with a standard top hat insert in the bottom of the cabinet allowing it to be
mounted directly (in "portrait" orientation) onto a standard pole mount.
No tilt adjustment is possible with this simplest mounting option.
