INTRODUCTION The Sound Force (SF) series has been designed for today´s high-level dance venues where exceptional sound, imposing power and impressive looks are key requisites. Thanks to the modularity of the series, the designers of the rooms have a variety of combinations to mid- high, medium-low and subwoofers that can be adapted to specific local needs.

INSTALLATION Connectors The D.A.S. SF series is designed to facilitate the connection for installations, so it has been provided with two types of connectors: the NL4 type (NL8 in SF-158) is standard for professional audio equipment. These terminals are connected in parallel, so that we can carry the amplified audio signal up to a device and we can forward it to the next box, very easily.

Coverages The SF-10, SF-26 and SF-158 models are designed with trapezoid enclosures to very easily achieve the desired coverages in fixed installations. Next, we show the horizontal coverage with three units of SF-158, as example (enclosures seen from above) : SF-158 Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual...

ACCESSORIES To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the warnings and advice given. The goal is to allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown.

To hang the units, the Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit. Then choose the slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation.

First, we will stack 2x SF-221 as shown below, joining the boxes with 4x AX-SF2. Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual...

Now, we will screw the AX-SF2158 over them. Next, we will screw 2x SF-158 to the AX-SF2158. Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual...

Finally, we will join the SF-158 units with 2x AX-SF2. As can be seen, the result is a solid stacked system. Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual...
ANNEX : Table for cable selection This table shows the power loss in % and dB, for different cable lengths and sections shown. It is recommended that the losses do not exceed 30% in any case (around 3dB). Although it is recommended minimizing losses, the maximum acceptable losses are usually around 15% (approximately 1.4dB).
