GENERAL, POWER CABLING 1. GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION In the table below you will find suitable cable areas and fuse sizes for different cable lenghts. Thank you for buying a DLS amplifier. This amplifier The gold plated terminals will directly recieve is a high quality product and is a result of many power cables up to 16 mm (5AWG).
To prevent the cable insulation from beeing damaged over sharp metal edges we recommend the use of Reference 100 has one gold plated phono socket cable protection tubes or similar. A damaged cable pair provided to recieve the signal from the head unit.
SPEAKER LOAD, BRIDGE MODE OPERATION SPEAKER CONNECTION EXAMPLES MULTIMODE OPERATION Multimode operation means that you connect one or two systems in normal stereo mode and then add TWO 4 OHM SPEAKERS IN PARALLEL. one or more subwoofers in mono bridge mode to the same speaker terminals.
PASSIVE FILTERS, LEVEL SETTING, FINAL SYSTEM SETUP 2.6 PASSIVE CROSSOVERS 12 dB highpass crossover: For maximum use of the DLS amplifiers it´s useful to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 know a little about passive crossover design.
4.1 NOISE PROBLEMS 3.2 Reference 200 Reference 200 has the same filter configuration as WHINING NOISE VARYING WITH ENGINE the Reference 100, but it´s doubled as this is a four REVOLUTIONS: channel amplifier. Suitable filter settings at different connections is found Do this: in the section with connection examples.
Connect as in example 5.4. 4. Using two Reference 100 you can run the front system on one of them (example 5.1) and the subwoofer on the other (example 5.3). The highpass filter to the front system amplifier should be set at 80 - 100 Hz, or maybee higher.
CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Reference 100 5.2 Two speaker pairs connected in parallel stereo HP-filter LP-filter LP-filter LEVEL 2,5V You can use all DLS coaxial, 2-way or 3-way 5,5V 0,3V 15 200 50 200 systems in this example. The speaker impedance must be 4 ohm.
CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Reference 100 5.4 In multimode with a front sys- tem in stereo and a subwoofer HP-filter LP-filter LP-filter LEVEL in mono bridgemode. 2,5V You can use all DLS coaxial, 2-way, 3-way 5,5V 0,3V 15 200 50 200 systems and subwoofers in this example.
CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Reference 200 6. CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Reference 200 The following examples shows some normal ways of connecting this 4-channel amplifier. The drawings shows normal level and filter settings. The four channels are divided in two amplifier blocks with the signal input to the right, then the level control, the filter and to the left the speaker terminals.
