NOTE:
Please check whether the output of the audio source
a) has a fixed volume level or
b) the level can be adjusted with the volume controller of the audio source.
In case a) you can adjust the volume using the remote control of the HECO DIREKT 800 BT; in case b) the level of the
audio source should be set to a maximum level where no distortions can be heard at the highest volume setting of the
DIREKT 800 BT. The volume of the audio source should also be taken into account. No distortions should be evident
here either.
Connecting a subwoofer to the active speaker
The speaker has a subwoofer output (fig. 3 (10)) at the rear for controlling an active subwoofer. Use a mono audio
cable and the LINE-IN input of the active subwoofer. The subwoofer output has a low-pass filter with a cut-off
frequency of 150Hz. This speaker is ideally suited for operation with an active subwoofer with a variable low-pass filter.
Connecting the power supply of the active speaker
Included in delivery is the most commonly used mains cable. The mains cable used in your country, however, may be
different. If the mains cable is not compatible with your power sockets or if you are in any doubt, please contact your
HECO dealer.
1.
Insert the 3-pin mains cable into the socket of the active speaker (Fig. 3, (5)).
2.
Insert the mains cable into the socket. Make sure that you are using the mains plug that is compatible with the
socket (refer to the information above).
OPERATION
As soon as the device is connected to the power supply and the power switch (Fig. 3, (4)) has been turned on, the
STBY LED on the active loudspeaker lights up red. The speaker is then in stand-by mode. 5 difference audio sources
can be connected to the active loudspeaker at the same time via the outputs (8), (9), (11), (12) and Bluetooth. The
speaker is switched on using the remote control (Fig. 4, (14)) and an audio source selected using the button (20). The
volume is regulated via the button (15), the speaker can be switched to mute using button (19). With the BASS (17) and
TREBLE (16) buttons, the bass and treble levels can be adjusted to the set-up and your own personal listening taste.
The LINEAR button is used to reset the bass and treble control to the neutral position.
Alternatively, the loudspeaker can be operated on the active speaker's rear connection panel (Fig. 3). Pressing the
VOLUME/SOURCE control (13) the first time switches on the active speaker, pressing it again selects the inputs in
turn. The volume is regulated by turning the control. Prolonged pressing switches the loudspeaker to stand-by mode.
Please note:
All HECO loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the central
position – i.e. with "linear" amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to
the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units! Always turn the volume
down immediately as soon as you hear distortion!
AUTO STANDBY FUNCTION
The unit has an Auto Standby function that automatically switches the device to stand-by mode if no audio signal is
detected on the inputs over a period of approx. 60 minutes. This function implements an EU energy-saving regulation
(1275/2008 EC), reducing power consumption if the device is accidentally left turned on after use.
This function can be deactivated as follows:
Press the MUTE button on the remote control. Then keep the Volume/Source control at the rear of the speaker
depressed for 5 seconds and release it.
