1 D.E.A.CON system components

Mid/high enclosure
Equipped with a 12" HK AUDIO ® custom speaker
and a 2" B&C compression driver with 60° x 40° CD
horn. The Class D amp delivers 600 watts of RMS
power and is housed in a separate chamber with the
DDO™ controller.
The newly developed, integrated HK AUDIO
Tilt™ speaker stand mounting collars allow sonic
energy to be used more efficiently. Troublesome
ceiling reflections are minimized for tight, clear
sound. The cabinet is always balanced – no
wobbling, tipping, or unintended twisting.
Sub A subwoofer
The D.E.A.CON Sub A cabinet is divided into two
chambers. The front chamber serves as the actual
loudspeaker cabinet for the directly loaded 18"
speaker. It has a load capacity of 500 W RMS and
an 8-ohm nominal impedance. Separate from and
behind this is the chamber for the amp.
Sub B subwoofer
The D.E.A.CON Sub B cabinet and speaker
equipment match those of the Sub A. Sub B is the
passive version of Sub A.

2 Transport

To transport the system, just stand the subwoofer on
its casters and place the mid/high-range enclosure
with Styrofoam grid onto the subwoofer. Use original
HK AUDIO ® ‚ D.E.A.CON protective covers to pre-
pare your personal system for tough on-the-road use.
Well-padded and kept dry, your D.E.A.CON system
will give you satisfaction for years.
3 Installation und wiring
3.1 Standard D.E.A.CON system
The standard system comprises 2x D.E.A.CON
mid/high units, 2x D.E.A.CON Sub A subwoofers,
and 2x D.E.A.CON Sub B.
D.E.A.CON is always wired from top to bottom (see
illustration/diagram on reverse of the D.E.A.CON
®
Duo- component)! This may seem confusing at first, since
generally active systems can often be wired in any
order since the signal is routed via the Through socket.
D.E.A.CON has a DDO™ system controller in the
mid/high-range enclosure, so basic settings such as
gain and subwoofer level only need to be adjusted on
the enclosure. The DDO™ subwoofer signal paths
are then routed from the mid/high-range enclosure
to the Sub A subwoofer.
Note: Make sure to follow the correct wiring order.
Never connect the signal from the sound mixer
directly to the subwoofer – this would mean
bypassing the DDO™ system controller! Always
connect the signal sources to the input socket of
the D.E.A.CON mid/high-range enclosure!
3.2 D.E.A.CON full-range setup
The full-range setup comprises 2x D.E.A.CON
mid/high-range enclosures. Turn the mode switch to
full-range for a power bandwidth that reaches down
to 80 Hz. In this case the subwoofer output (DDO™
controlled) is muted to avoid malfunctioning.
3.3 D.E.A.CON club set
The club set comprises 2x D.E.A.CON mid/high
units and 2x D.E.A.CON Sub A subwoofers. It is also
possible to use just one Sub A, connected either to
the left or right mid/high-range enclosure. This is
possible because bass frequencies are not
recognized as stereo perspective and instruments
such as bass drums and bass guitar are generally
in mono.
