INTRODUCTION The Sound Force Dance Stack 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.
SF-221 -Twin 21" high power loudspeakers -6" voice coils for high power handling -Cross-fire enclosure configuration -Reinforced enclosure design -Thunderous low frequency reproduction The SF-221 is a twin 21" subwoofer system designed to provide high levels of low frequency energy. The loudspeakers, equipped with 6" voice coils, highly effective heat dissipation schemes, and an extremely robust mechanical design are ideal for dance club applications where long hours...

CONFIGURATIONS (cont’d) Remember the PRC on the D-100 amplifier: D-100 PRC switches: Each channel of the amplifier may be power limited independently using these pairs of switches in three stages, offering 2, 4 and 6dB of Power Reduction Control. The settings for these switches are on the rear panel for quick reference.
INSTALLATION AND ACCESSORIES Connectors The passive models of DAS SF series is designed to facilitate the connection for installations, so it has been provided with connectors NL4 type, 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.

6) LPF PRESET : This push button allows the “LOW PASS FILTER” selection. The LED shining indicates the selected value between 50, 63, 80 or 100 Hz. 7) CARDIOID PRESET : This push button allows the “CARDIOID PRESET” selection. The LED shining indicates the selected value: OFF, 2 units and 3 units.
Page 17
Cardioid Preset This unique feature facilitates the configuration of two or three units to create a cardioid response pattern. This is useful in situations where on-stage bass level projected from the subs needs to be kept to a minimum. To set-up a cardioid configuration with two stacked units, place the bottom unit facing the audience and the top box facing the stage.

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.

ANL-2 2 x ANL-2 Absolutely no risks should ANL-2 be taken with regards to public safety. When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures so that the installation is absolutely safe.
ANNEX I : 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).
ANNEX II : Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼”...
ANNEX III : DASnet cables With each system, cabling and patch panels are provided. It is very important to use the system with the intended cables to prevent electromagnetic interferences between the analog audio signal, the DASnet data and the power. Be sure to check the specifications provided by the cable manufacturer.
ANNEX V : AXB-SF30 Next, the steps for installing the platform fixed to the ground, preventing unwanted slippage of the SF-30A. For this feature we need the accessory AXB-SF30.
