INTRODUCTION
General
Thank you for purchasing DAS products. This
manual contains the required information to make
the best use of the system you have purchased.
Please take the time to read it.
Features
Ÿ The materials and design uses for these units
represent advanced sound reinforcement
technology that delivers outstanding audio
performance from compact and easy-to-use
products. Sound field coverage is wide with
efficient mid and high frequency reproduction for
greater intelligibility.
Ÿ High induction magnetic circuits result in
reduced distortion and listening fatigue for spoken
voice and music reproduction.
Ÿ Polypropylene cones avoid age deterioration
when exposed to heat and air humidity.
Ÿ Technical specifications are shown in Table 1
for all models:
Note: Position marked with an “X” should not be
utilised.
Ÿ All models feature a removable protective grille
with a DAS logo, which allows access to the front
of the loudspeakers. For removal, a pointy object
needs to be introduced on a grille hole. For further
detail, consult section INSTALLATION of this
manual.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE
THE CONE WITH THE POINTY OBJECT
WHEN REMOVING THE GRILLE
Ÿ Connection terminals are spring-loaded and
colour coded: red for positive, black for negative.
Transformer models have 4 terminals, a common
one plus three other ones that correspond to each
of the three possible selected input power levels.
Check the back label for the corresponding power
for different line voltages. Do not use the 6W
terminal for a 100V line.
Ÿ Thus, all models have eight screws, 4 for fixing
the speaker to its plastic support, and four that
operate the mounting tabs that fix the assembly to
the ceiling.
Ÿ All screws are accessed from the back, i.e. the
front grille must be removed for screwing /
unscrewing.
Ÿ All models are shipped with a tile cut out
template. If painting of the plastic ring is needed, a
round paper piece is also shipped to cover the rest
of the speaker when painting.

Ÿ The label on the speaker’s back plate contains
the main product specifications and standard
compliances.
Ÿ All models comprise three main elements: the
plastic support, the speaker and the grille. The
back of the support houses four small turrets for
the screws that fix the speaker chassis, plus other
four larger turrets. The latter house the tabs that fix
the speaker assembly to the ceiling tile assembly
when rotating the turrets’ screws.

THE
Installation
The different installation steps are described.
Before this can take place, the installation should
be wired, leaving all of the ceiling wiring in place
and ready for connection.
Step 1 – Remove the speaker grille: The grille
must be removed for access to the mounting
screws. Insert a pointy object and introduce it in a
grille hole close to the edge. You’ll remove the
grille with ease if using two pointy objects on
opposite ends.

Step 2 – Ceiling tile cut out: The following
table lists the inner and recommended cut out
diameters for the different models and the
necessary depth in the ceiling structure to install
the speakers:
Step 3 – Terminal connection: the speakers
terminals are spring loaded. Watch the colour
coding for polarity. For connection to transformer
models, you will need to select the required input
power and connect to the appropriate terminals
(see Fig. 10).

Table 2: inner and cut out diameters
Packaged with the speakers is a cardboard cut
out template for scribing the cut out hole onto your
ceiling surface. The inside circumference of the
same template can be used to cover the rest of
the speaker when painting.
Therefore the cut out may be scribed using the
template provided or by drawing a circumference
of the diameter in table 2. Once the hole is cut,
you may need to pull down the cables so they are
accessible for connection.

Step 5 – Screwing and fixing: to fix the
assembly to the ceiling, the tabs have to be
rotated and lowered. This is done by tightening the
corresponding screws clockwise. The first quarter
turn rotates the tab into position and out of the
guide; the rest tightens the tab down onto the
back of the ceiling surface. The process needs to
be repeated for all four screws.
Fig. 12 – fixing the speaker to the ceiling
Step 6 – Replace the grille: once the speaker
is fixed to the ceiling, this is the only operation left.
Push the grille into place until fixed. You will
need to use the adhesives stripes provided.
Note: the grille shows some degree of
resistance to be removed. Fixing is by contact, so
there is little clearance between its inner diameter
and the inner support, so that some force needs
to be applied when removing it.
MAINTENANCE & USE
No maintenance is needed for the products in
this manual if they have been installed correctly
and following the instructions in this manual.
Some usage tips follow:
The best maintenance for a speaker is its
correct use, i.e., within the design parameters. It is
important not to utilise amplifiers that are too large
when compared to the speaker power. In general,
it is recommended that you use an amplifier with
an output that is 100% to 150% of the speaker's
average (RMS) power rating.
Fig. 13 – fixing system: when tightening the
screw the mounting tab comes down, pressing
the plastic support against the ceiling.
That way we have headroom for the dynamics
of real music and vocal signals, and at the same
time deliver a cleaner signal to the speakers that
will result in a more reliable system. Avoid using
too small an amplifier. The clip light of your
amplifiers should never be on continuously. This
will distort the signal and may damage the
speakers. In fact, severe clipping is an easy way to
burn a speaker’s voice coil. At most, the clip light
could blink occasionally. When clipped, signals
sound distorted and produce listening fatigue
quickly. Never use a total impedance load that is
lower than the lowest impedance that an amplifier
will take.
Virtually all professional amplifiers will accept
loads down to four ohms safely in stereo mode.
Many are rated for two ohm loads but often will
run into overheating protection when used this
way, particularly in high ambient temperature and
high output power applications.
Never connect more speakers to an amplifier's
channel than it will take, i.e. do not load a channel
with total impedance that is lower than the
minimum load specified by the manufacturer.
