DYNACORD
1 Introduction
The DYN AC ORD D 11A is a po wered, biamped, light-weight
and extremely robust high-performance professional 12”
2-way fullrange plastic cabinet for use in professional
sound reinforcement applications. With a variety of suspension accessories and conservative cosmetics, the
D 11A is also ideally suited to be used in demanding fixed
installations. The cabinet is manufactured from Polypropylene and therefore is extremely resistant against abuse
on the road. For low frequencies a LFT3508 is used. The
Electro-Voice DH 3 driver is used for the projection of mid
and high frequencies. The Constant-Directivity HF horn has
been integrated into the baffle by CAD methods. Nominal
coverage angle of the cabinet is 80° * 40°, horizontal * vertical respectively.
The built-in digital power amplifiers are working in biamped operation and are controlled by an electronic xover circuit that has been designed to optimally match the
transducers’ acoustic characteristics. The D 11A is ideally
suited for applications as full-range cabinet or as Mid-Hi
cabinet in high-performance satellite systems. EASE and
Ulysses data allow fast and precise simulations.
The multitude of connection and setting facilities (MIC,
LINE, AUX) allows using the D 11A in many creative ways.
The master signal can be daisy-chained to a second D 11A
cabinet via a regular XLR microphone cable. The built-in
level control VOLUME allows easy adjustment of the required sound pressure level.
The D 11A is connected to the mains via a locked IEC inlet
that guarantees a hassle-free operation. Extremely durable
acoustic foam mounted to a strong powder-coated steel
grille protects the loudspeaker components against any
mechanical damage. A protective cover is available as an
option. The trapezoidally shaped enclosure also allows employing the cabinet in monitoring applications that require
extended low-frequency response compared to regular
monitor speakers. A stable, integrated carrying handle and
the integrated stand socket for pole-mount stands allow
easy transportation and setup.

This electronically balanced output
provides the carried through audio
signal from the LINE IN connector.
It can be used to feed additional
external equipment (e.g. an additional D 11A) with the identical input signal.
2.2 Cabling
For connecting audio signal sources to the D 11A, we recommend using cable with balanced XLR-type or stereo
phone plug connectors. Using balanced cable reduces the
risk of sound degradation resulting from interference.
However, make sure to mind the pin-assignment as shown
below. Original DYNACORD cable from our accessory program will always comply with this pin-assignment.

2.3 Cooling
This is a powered speaker with a very high efficient amplifier module and as a result does not get really hot. The
temperature of the amplifier module is monitored. In the
rare event it does get too hot it will automatically shut
down to protect itself. Once its temperature has returned
to within its operating range the amp will turn back on.
This may happen when the speaker is operated in very high
ambient temperatures and the enclosure is exposed to direct sunlight. Always ensure adequate cooling and appropriate shade to keep the ambient temperature around the
product within the specified operating temperature range.
2.4 Quick Start
CAUTION: After installing the system, first switch on the mixing console and position the mixer’s master faders to
their minimum settings. That followed, switch on the D 11A and use the master faders to adjust the
desired volume setting. Otherwise, high sound levels caused by unintentional playback of a program
source could be the result, which might cause hearing damage.
This Quick Start Manual outlines setup and operation of
the D 11A connected to a DYNACORD CMS mixer.
1.Place the D 11A, mounted on pole-mount stands to
the left and to the right. The lower edges of the
speaker systems should be approximately 1,8 meters
above the audience to provide sufficient coverage
and to prevent that listeners nearby are subject to
extreme sound levels.
2.Using suitable XLR-type cables connect the Master
Outputs of your mixing console, e.g. DYNACORD
CMS 1000, to LINE IN of the D 11A. Position the master faders on the mixer to their minimum setting.
Now, switch on the mixer.
3.Connect the D 11A to the mains outlet using the supplied mains cord. Plug the connector into the MAINS
IN socket. Use the Mains switch to power-up the
D11A.
4.Set the level controls VOLUME and LINE TRIM of the
D11A to 0dB.
5.Connect an audio source, e.g. CD player, to a line
level input of the mixer, e.g. CMS 1000. Set all rotary
controls of the mixing console input channel to their
center position. Adjust the input channel’s ‘Gain‘
control so that the Peak LED should not light at all or
blink only once in a while.
6.Slowly raise channel fader and master faders on the
mixing console to the desired positions – i.e. volume
settings.
7.Your system is now ready for operation. Individual
sound adjustments necessary can be made using the
controls of the mixer’s corresponding input channels.
8.Now, have fun with your D 11A system!
9.After use, first switch off the D 11A and then the mixing console, so that distracting power-off noise will
not occ ur. When u sing a DYNACORD CMS m ixer, n o
power-off noise will be output from the ‘Master Outputs‘. This allows switching off the mixer first without a problem.

2.5 Rigging
CAUTION: We expressly point out that the relevant safety regulations must be observed for “flying“ loudspeaker
systems. It is imperative that qualified expert advice is sought.
CAUTION: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have
a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. DYNACORD
strongly recommends that D 11A speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that D 11A speakers
are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. If D 11A speakers are suspended, DYNACORD strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness
or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately.
