According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of
these permissible limits could result in some hearing
loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure
to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that
all persons exposed to equipment capable of
producing high sound pressure levels use hearing
protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear
plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears
must be worn when operating the equipment in order
to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in
excess of the limits set forth here.

Thank you for choosing the BMB DX-333 Stereo
Mixing and Digital Key Control Amplifier (also called
BMB DX-333). We appreciate your vote of
confidence in this innovative product. BMB DX-333 is
indeed a hybrid of power amplifier and mixer that can
help you save more space and achieve convenience.
It can produce the lowest level of feedback. It is
designed to fulfil the amplification needs of almost any
type of application. It also boasts some special
features you would expect to pay for - like adjustable
built-in equalizer at different levels (i.e. Hi-EQ,
Mid-EQ, and Low-EQ) enabling the microphone to
adjust music key while you are singing Karaoke,
subwoofer filtering, speaker-protecting limiter, etc.
Perhaps the most important feature of the BMB DX-333
Power Amplifier is the attention to detail in every
aspect of designs.
BMB DX-333 is based on real and proven design
principles. The result of using proven design principles
is a production of a power amplifier that can perform
better than conventional designs when presented with
adverse conditions. The design can also satisfy
multi-uses for home Karaoke, Professional D.J., KTV
rooms and equipment rental.
There are two viewpoints regarding the gain
structure of power amplifiers - constant gain and
constant sensitivity. Constant gain means that
regardless of the output power of the amplifier, the
gain from input to output remains the same. (By the
way, this refers to the full gain of the amplifier, with the
gain or level controls all the way up.) Within a product
line of constant gain power amplifiers, as the output
power rating of an amplifier increases, the level of the
input voltage must also increases. For example, if an
amplifier is rated at 100W into an 8-ohm load, and it
has 26 dB of gain, it requires an input signal of 1.4V
rms to drive it to full power. This is about +5 dBu, a
reasonable operating point for professional gear.
Now take an amplifier rated at 200W into an
8-ohm load. If it also has a gain of 26 dB, it requires
an input signal of 2.0V rms to drive it into full power,
or +8 dBu. This can become problematic as the
power of the amplifier increases. What if you have a
power amp rated at 800W into 8 ohms? This will
require an input signal of 4.0V rms to drive it to full
power. This equates to a whopping +14.3 dBu!
You've just robbed your mixer of 10 dB of headroom.
You'll either have to have a good limiter to keep the
transient peaks down, or turn down the level from the
mixer and not use all the power available from the
amplifier.
One of the most difficult things for a power
amplifier to handle is clipping. Conventional designs
use lots of negative feedback to provide stability and
lower distortion. When clipping occurs, this "feedback"
causes high-frequency sticking, keeping the amplifier
"latched" in the clipping state longer than necessary.
This results in painfully audible distortion. The design of
BMB DX-333 can eliminate this high-frequency sticking
and allow the amplifier to remain stable when
powering high reactive loads high volume level.
To operate the BMB DX-333 Stereo Mixing and
Digital Key Control Amplifier properly, please read this
manual carefully and follow the instructions.

GAIN
Constantly sensitivity means that regardless of the
output power of the amplifier (the input voltage
required to attain full output power) remains the same.
As the output power of an amplifier increases, the gain
of the amplifier must also increase. Referring back to
the previous example, an amplifier rated at 100W
into 8 ohms with a gain of 26 dB requires an input
signal of 1.4V rms to drive it to full power. It has an
input sensitivity of 1.4V rms. In order for the 200W
amplifier to reach full power into 8 ohms with a 1.4V
rms input signal, it must have a gain of 29dB. And the
800W amplifier will require a gain of 35 dB to reach
full power with a 1.4V input signal.
So what are the pros and cons of these two
approaches? The reason some amplifier manufacturers
use the constant gain approach is because the noise
specification looks better It's a fact of physics that as
the gain of the amplifier increases, the circuit noise is
amplified and increases too. By maintaining a
constant gain, the noise spec for an 800W amplifier
can look as good as the noise spec for a 100W
amplifier. The downside to this is that you have to
crank up your mixer level feeding the input of the
amplifier, losing headroom and possibly increasing the
noise level from the mixer.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
AC Power Distribution
Input Wiring
Use a high-quality 3-conductor shielded cable to
connect the signal between the signal source and the
balanced inputs to the amplifier. If you're using the
unbalanced inputs, use a high-quality 2-conductor
shielded cable.
Output Wiring
Use heavy gauge, stranded wire for connecting
speakers to the MA-930 terminals. As the distance
between the amplifier and the speakers increase, the
thickness of the wire should also increase. Speaker
wire has resistance, and when electricity passes
through a resistor, power is lost. The thicker the wire,
the less resistance it offers, and the more power
actually gets to the speakers.
The majority of AC outlets encountered in homes
and clubs are served by a 240VAC center- tapped
service entrance transformer. This provides two phases
of AC power on either side of the center tap at 120V
each. In order to minimize ground loops, the safety
grounds for all the outlets should be connected to a
common ("star") grounding point, and the distance
between the outlets and the common grounding point
should be as short as possible.
If lighting is used in a show, it is preferable to
power the lights from one leg of the service, and
power the audio equipment from the other leg. This
will help minimize noise from the lights coupling into
the audio.
When setting up for a show, oftentimes you are
plugging into an AC power distribution system you
know nothing about. You may even be faced with
2-wire AC outlet tester in your toolbox so you can
check the outlets yourself to make sure they are wired
correctly. These testers will tell you if the polarity of the
hot and neutral wires is reversed and if the safety
ground is disconnected. Don't use an outlet if it is
wired improperly! This is to protect yourself as well as
your equipment.
If you find that you must plug into a two-wire outlet,
you will need to use a two-wire to three-wire adapter
(cheater plug). These come with a metal tab that you
put underneath the center screw that holds the AC
outlet faceplate in place. This center screw must be
grounded. You can check it by connecting the adapter
to the outlet and then plugging in your AC outlet tester.
The thickness of wire is rated in gauges. Use the
chart below to determine the correct gauge of wire to
use according to the distance between the speakers
and the amplifier, and the impedance of the load the
amplifier is driving. This ensures that the power lost
across the speaker wire is less than 0.5dB.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PACKAGE ACCESSORIES
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you've just purchased is only the first step to your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you
can maximize the fun and the safety of your new
equipment. We want you to get the most out of your
equipment by playing it at a safe level without
affecting your hearing. Sound can be very harmful.
Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher
volumes of sound. What sounds "normal" can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Therefore,
please guard against this by setting your equipment at
a safe level before your hearing adapts. To establish a
safe level, you can start your volume control at a low
setting, then slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly. If used wisely, your
new sound equipment will provide you more new
experience in music. Since hearing damage from loud
noise is often undetectable until it is too late, we
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise. The following noises can be
dangerous under constant exposure. Therefore, please
be cautious with the dB level when playing your new
equipment.
