Description; Unpacking & Warranty - Dynacord PowerSub 312 Owner's Manual

DESCRIPTION

Congratulations! With buying a DYNACORD PowerSub 312 you have decided on getting one of
today's most advanced active subwoofers incorporating most sophisticated technology.
The PowerSub 312 active 12" subwoofer with an integrated 3-channel power amplifier provides a total
of 1300 watts output power. It has been specially designed for the quick and easy setup of a subwoofer
satellite system. Two passive loudspeaker systems like for example DYNACORD D8 are needed as
satellites, which are simply connected at the designated Speakon outputs of the PS312. Manufactured from
multi-ply wood the PowerSub 312 withstands even the hardest strain during transport and operation.
The integrated lightweight digital power amp with 800 W + 2 x 250 W output power optimally matches
the integrated DYNACORD DND 12S400 woofer offering highest dynamic and audio performance and
at the same time ensures that the DYNACORD DND 12S400 woofer is always operated in its optimum
operating range. Extensive protection circuitry like Voice Coil Protection, DC/HF-Protection, Audio Limiter,
Back-EMF Protection and Thermal Protection are employed to securely monitor the compliance to these
operating limits, which guarantees that the PowerSub 312 provides outstanding performance even under
most demanding and most unfavorable conditions. Compared to usual Class AB-operated amps the
utilized "Class D digital technology", produces significantly less power loss, reducing thermal stress of
all components. The enclosure is sealed with a scratch-resistant, hardwearing 2K-lacquer finish. A robust
powder-coated steel grille protects the DYNACORD DND12S400 woofer against mechanical damage.
All controls are recessed to provide optimum protection for the sensitive parts of the PowerSub 312 even
during transportation. Two stable carrying handles and an integrated threaded pole-mount flange allow
comfortable transportation and optimum, space saving installation.
Unpacking and Warranty
Open the packaging and carefully take out the PowerSub 312. Remove the protective foil from the carrying
handles. Mains cord and warranty card are supplied in addition to this owner's manual. Please make sure
that all details are filled in on the warranty card. Only a completely filled in warranty certificate entitles you
to stake any warranty claims. Keep the original invoice together with the warranty card at a safe place.
Setup and Connections
Place the PowerSub 312 on an even ground, using the rubber feet to ensure safe and steadfast operation.
Make sure to check the stability of the system when using pole-mounts installed in the PowerSub 312. Do
not cover the subwoofer's rear during operation. Otherwise, thermal overload could cause the PowerSub
312 to enter power reduction mode, which reliably protects the unit from being damaged. However, in
this mode full output power is not available. Mains power is supplied via Neutrik's professional PowerCon
connector system and by use of an extremely long (5m) mains cord. This ensures absolute secure and
reliable connection to the mains outlet. Nevertheless, using high-quality mains distributors that allow high
power consumption and offer reliable protection throughout the entire system is strongly recommended
with large installations consisting of several active cabinets.
Before establishing the mains connection for the first time, make sure that the cabinet's
operating voltage setting, which can be found on a label next to the mains switch, corresponds
to your local mains network.
