Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!

The new ES1002 is a powerful and versatile active audio system. It can be easily set up and it comes with one
subwoofer (2 x 12” woofers) and one column top (8 x 4” mid-woofers, with Logarithmic Curved Column Array
technology). The powerful class-D DIGIPRO® G3 amplifier can handle up to 900 W RMS and the I/O section allows
connecting up to 2 inputs (1 XLR mono and 1 RCA stereo connections with independent volume controls). The user­friendly control interface helps the user to tune precisely the system in different scenarios, thanks to 8 DSP presets.
Main cabling accessories are also included.

110-120V~ voltage range:

1. Disconnect all connections, including the power supply.

2. Wait for 5 minutes.

3. Replace the fuse with the one provided in the package
for the 100-120V~ range

The second package contains:

It has one 36 mm hole for pole-mounting [A] in the
bottom side and one [B] rear speak-on connector
(picture 3).

2) Mount the system

- Assemble the telescopic pole (screwing the two
pieces together), and screw it in the [Z] threaded hole
of subwoofer with right-handed movement.

-

5) Setup, turn on and I/O settings

- Connect the desired inputs (with proper cables and
connectors), using [1] XLR and [5] RCA inputs.

- If needed, link the output [4] to the input of a second
system or to a stage monitor (as example), with a
proper cable (XLR connectors).

Choose the right DSP PRESET, using the rotary [8]:

FLAT - Designed specifically where a flat response is

required. In this case the output signal is coherent to
the input one.

BASS BOOST – Useful to improve the bass presence
BASS REDUCTION - Designed for the use in room with

reverberation issues

PLAYBACK – Preset suitable to use music from MP3

players, CDs or other sources with emphasis on high
frequencies.

SPEECH - Designed to enhance speech intelligibility.

This preset emphasizes middle and high frequencies.

LONG THROW – The medium-high frequencies are

enhanced, to get the longest propagation of the sound.

HPF 80 Hz – Apply a high pass filter with 80 Hz cutoff
frequency (the subwoofer presence is partially
limited)
HPF 120 Hz - Apply a high pass filter with 120 Hz cutoff
frequency (the subwoofer presence is strongly
limited)

- Insert the VDE connector of the supplied mains cable
in MAINS INPUT [10], connect the plug to the power,
and turn on the POWER switch [11].

- The ON Signal LED start blinking, signaling the
presence of audio signal (when applied). Adjust the
volume controls [2], [6].
