Congratulations! With buying the DYNACORD AM12 you got yourself an active monitor system
that incorporates most advanced technology.
The AM12 is an active 2-way loudspeaker system that has been designed for use in stage-monitoring or
general sound reinforcement applications. The multitude of connection and setting facilities (MIC, LINE,
and AUX) allows using the AM12 in many creative ways. You can use the AM12 as on-stage monitor
speaker, small PA system or even for sound reinforcement during presentations and similar events.
Employing only quality speaker components and a sophisticated modern power amplifier design, the
AM12 generates outstandingly high sound pressure level offering maximum sound performance. The
integrated high-efficiency power amps provide 300W/4ohms for the Lo range channel and 60W/8ohms
for the Hi range channel, supplying sufficient output power and reliable operation for all your sound
reinforcement applications. The Extension Speaker Speakon-type connector allows connecting an
additional passive monitor, like the M12 or an external subwoofer and using the integrated Acoustic
Processing Section provides all the controls you need to adjust the AM12's sound to individual applications
or acoustic conditions.
Unpacking and Warranty
Open the package and carefully take out the AM12. Remove the protection foil from the handle of the
appliance. Next to this owner's manual the package also contains the mains cord, a cable pull-relief and
the warranty card. Please check whether the warranty card has been filled out entirely. Only a warranty
card with completely filled in information entitles you to make any warranty claims. The appliance comes
with a full 36 months warranty that is valid from the date of original purchase. Please also keep the original
invoice together with the warranty card.
Setup and Connections
To ensure safe and reliable operation, always place the AM12 on an even surface standing on its rubber
foot stands. When mounted on a tripod, please make sure that the system is firmly locked in place and
that the tripod has a stable stand. Do not cover the heat sink on the rear of the appliance during operation.
Otherwise, the AM12 will enter protect-mode because of thermal overload. This prevents the system from
being damaged but the sound reproduction is suspended until the system regains operational state. The
speaker output (EXTENSION SPEAKER) on the rear of the appliance is carried out via professional
SPEAKON-type high-performance connectors, which provide absolutely secure and reliable connection
of additional speakers. The pin-assignment of the female-type connectors is 1+(hot) and 1-(cold).
Before connecting the AM12 to the mains, please make sure that the value stated on the mains voltage
label which is located next to the appliance's mains switch, complies to the voltage settings of your local
power supply. Installing the supplied cable pull-relief prevents that the mains cord gets inadvertently pulled
out of the mains socket.
For installing the cable pull-relief, please re-
move the screw as shown in the diagram.
Slide the cable pull-relief over the mains cord
and use the screw to fix it to the AM12 panel.
