Important !
Product care and maintenance:
• Always keep air vents unobstructed so air can circulate freely.
Otherwise, electronic components may overheat and suffer
damages. To ensure proper ventilation, place the subwoofer a
sufficient distance away from walls and make sure it isn't covered
by curtains and similar. This is vital to keep the power amps cool.
• Never expose the enclosures to direct sunlight, excessive
vibrations or mechanical shocks.
• Do not expose the enclosures to heat sources (lamps, lights, high
power light sources, radiators or other products that produce heat).
• Avoid operating and storing the system in damp or dusty
places: this may lead to malfunctions and premature degrading
of specifications.
• Avoid using the system close to strong sources of
electromagnetic interferences (e.g. video monitors, high power
electrical cabling). This may lead to degradation of audio quality.
• When setting up the system up outdoors, be sure to protect it
against rain.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid is
not spilled onto the enclosures. In public event don't let people,
musicians, technicians or anyone put glasses, cups, ashtrays or
cigarettes on the enclosures.
• Always leave the protective grid mounted on the enclosures.
• Use a soft brush or a jet of air to clean the enclosure.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or detergents.
• Take care of the connecting cables. Make sure that they are
not damaged, knotted or twisted.
• Do not force connectors and controls.
• Always make sure that the mixer and the powered
enclosures are switched off before connecting them.
This will to avoid annoying noises and signal peaks, which
can also be dangerous for the enclosures themselves.
• The DTRIX15 system should always be switched on last
after powering up all the equipment connected to it, while it
should be switched off first before powering off all the
equipment connected to it.

ENGLISH
Power supply connection:
• Make sure the mains power switch is off ('0') before starting any
connection.
• Check that mains voltage corresponds to the voltage
indicated on the panel.
• Use only the factory supplied mains cable or, if a different plug
style is needed, a suitable cable with a ground
connection and marked with the safety approvals valid in the
country of use.
Connection to the mixer:
If the mixer has XLR balanced outputs:
- use standard balanced XLR connectors.
If the mixer has XLR unbalanced outputs:
- in this case, unless using a Montarbo mixer, make sure that
the XLR outputs on the mixer are unbalanced to IEC 268
standard: 1 = GND, 2 = HOT, 3 = GND.
If the mixer has JACK balanced outputs (stereo jacks):
- it is possible to use stereo Jack-stereo Jack cables or stereo
jack-XLR adapters, wired according to IEC 268:
pin 1 = ground (sleeve), pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ring.
If the mixer has JACK unbalanced outputs (mono jacks):
- use suitable Jack-XLR male adapters unbalanced according to
IEC 268: pin 1=ground, pin 2= tip, pin 3=ground.
☛ See 'connectors' on page 22.
• Always use only heavy gauge, high quality SHIELDED cables
(signal cables).
Connection to the SATELLITES inputs
• Use only the factory supplied cables or loudspeaker cables
(unscreened) having suitable cross section (at least 2 x 1 mm
and quality. Do not twist or sharply bend the cables and do not
allow for knots to be formed, because they may result in
insulation damage.
