Setup
Precautions
Use the following guidelines to get the best performance out of your loudspeakers.
•
Handling: The DN-308S set is packaged in the box tightly, so your attention is required when taking
the loudspeakers out of the box.
To avoid possible damage to the loudspeaker units, hold both sides of the loudspeaker in order to pull
it out of the box.
•
Correct Power Operation: Since the DN-308S contains its own amplifier, it must be connected to a
power outlet using the detachable AC cable provided. Before connecting power, please make sure
that the Voltage-Select Switch located on the loudspeaker's rear panel is set to the appropriate
position, as described in the rear-panel features list appearing earlier in this manual.
WARNING! Use of improper Voltage-Select Switch combinations may result in hazardous conditions
and/or damage to loudspeaker components not covered by loudspeaker warranty.
•
Connections: You can connect either an XLR balanced cable or TRS balanced/unbalanced cable
from the input of each DN-308S to your corresponding preamp, computer, mixer, or audio interface.
We recommend that you use high-quality balanced or unbalanced cables for input connections. Also,
ALWAYS turn off the power of the DN-308S and turn the volume of the DN-308S down to a minimum
before making the necessary connections.
Remarks: DO NOT place any obstacles that may block the flow of air in front or between the loudspeakers.
Also remove reflective materials such as glass, mirrors or metal from the loudspeaker environment. PLACE
THOSE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE PATH OF THE SOUND FROM THE DN-308S.
If your loudspeakers must be oriented horizontally due to space or line-of-sight considerations, place them
so that their tweeters are on the "inside" to improve imaging.
Connection
To connect your loudspeaker to your mixer or audio interface, follow the steps below for your connector
type. Make sure your audio source is line-level.
XLR Cable: Connect a channel of your audio source's main output to the loudspeaker's XLR
input.
Important: Pin 2 is positive/hot, Pin 3 is negative/cold, and Pin 1 (the shield pin) is the
ground.
1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS or TS Cable: Connect a channel of your audio source's main output to
the loudspeaker's 1/4" (6.35 mm) input.
Important: For balanced cables (TRS, shown here), the tip of the plug is positive/hot, the ring
is negative/cold, and the sleeve is the ground. For unbalanced cables (TS), the tip of the plug
is the signal, and the sleeve is the ground.
