D.E.A.CON Mid/High
1 Power switch
Operation: This is the on/off switch for the active
system. The power LED lights up red when the
10
system is switched on. The D.E.A.CON active system
should always be the last component to be switched
on (i.e. after all other components), and the first to
12
be switched off (of all the equipment two which it is
connected).
2 Mains Input
Connection: Hook up this connection socket to the
mains power supply via the included Powercon
cable. Caution! Make sure that the local mains
voltage matches the voltage specified. Connection to
incorrect mains voltage may damage or destroy the
electronics of the D.E.A.CON system.
3 Mains Link
Connection:
The Powercon
®
Link socket is wired in parallel to
the mains input. Connect additional devices (e.g.
another D.E.A.CON mid/high-range enclosure or a
D.E.A.CON Sub A) here using a suitable connection
cable.
A current of no more than 11,6 A – or a maximum
capacity of 2780 W (at 230 volts) – may be drawn
from the Powercon Link socket. Therefore, it should
be used to operate at most two additional
D.E.A.CON components.
Note: Always switch on the D.E.A.CON components
separately one after another to maintain a relatively
low inrush current as a high combined inrush
current could trip the circuit breaker.
4 Power On LED
This LED lights up when the power switch is On and
the appropriate connection to the mains exists.
5 Ground
Ground lift switch to separate signal ground and
chassis ground when hum occurs. Use the ground
lift switch when low frequency hum occurs. When
depressed, the ground is separated. If this does not
resolve the problem, check the cables leading to
D.E.A.CON and all signals arriving at the sound
mixer for deficiencies (also see Tips and tricks).
6 Mode switch
Operation: Configures the controller for the satellite
and full-range modes. In the satellite configuration,
the D.E.A.CON mid/high unit works as an enclosure
in connection with Sub A (and Sub B). In the full-
range configuration, the enclosure is used as a self-
sufficient full-range speaker (from 80 Hz and up),
e.g. for speech or to play music.
Note: The subwoofer output (DDO™ controlled) is
muted when the system is switched to full-range.
®
7 Line In
Connection: Connect the mixing console (Master
Left/Right, Line Out, etc.) to the D.E.A.CON
balanced input socket using a microphone cable.
The XLR jacks should be configured as follows:
1= ground, 2= +, 3= -.
8 Line Through
Connection: Parallel output for routing the input line
signal via an XLR cable to additional D.E.A.CON
systems, a recorder, or other individual components.
9 Limiter status LEDs
The active system's "tachometer." Indicates the
operational status.
10 Gain
Operation: Prior to turning on the system, turn off
the gain control (completely counter-clockwise).
Prior to powering up, make sure that the system is
connected to the subwoofer(s) Sub A (and, if appli-
cable, Sub B) and that all other components which
are connected to the system are already on. That is,
the mixing console which is feeding the D.E.A.CON
system, as well as any signal sources connected to
the console's inputs, such as keyboards, instrument
amplifiers, effects, etc., should be turned on before
the D.E.A.CON system is.
After you have turned on the D.E.A.CON system,
turn its Gain control to the right (clockwise).
