DYNACORD

1 Introduction

The DYNACORD D 11A is a powered, 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 x- over 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.

1 LIMIT INDICATOR (LIMIT)

8 INPUT CONNECTOR FOR STEREO AUX SIGNAL (AUX IN L / R)

Brief blinking of the LIMIT LED indicates that the

power amplifier of the D 11A is operated at its limits. Short-term blinking is uncritical, because the inte-

grated limiter compensates minor distortion. Constant lighting of the LED indicates that the sound is negatively affected. Reducing the output volume is strongly recommended.

2 MASTER LEVEL CONTROL (VOLUME)

Level control for adjusting the power amp’s overall amplification.

3 POWER ON/OFF INDICATOR (POWER)

The POWER LED lights green if the mains switch is ON and the mains cord is connect-

ed correctly.

4 MAINS SWITCH (ON/OFF)

Mains switch for switching the unit‘s power ON or OFF. The POWER LED lights after turning the power ON. Make sure that the mains cord is correctly connected if the

LED is not lit upon switching the power on. If the mains cord is correctly connected,

mains voltage is present and the LED does not light upon power-on, please contact your local dealer.

5 MICROPHONE LEVEL CONTROL (MIC GAIN)

Level control for adjusting the amplification of the signal at the MIC IN input.

6 MAINS CONNECTOR, LOCKABLE (MAINS IN)

These RCA-type connectors allow the connection of stereo signal sources (e. g. CD-Player). The stereo input signals are internally summed for monaural output.

CAUTION: Before connecting or unplugging an appliance, make sure to turn the AUX LEVEL control all the way down (counterclockwise).

9 MODE SELECTION SWITCH (LO-CUT/FULLRANGE)

If the D 11A is used as a fullrange system, select FULLRANGE (button not

pressed). If a subwoofer is available, select LO-CUT (button pressed) for activating the internal low-cut filter. The setting LO-CUT can also be used for monitor or delay applications, when a high bass level is not necessary.

10 INPUT CONNECTOR FOR MICROPHONE AUDIO SIGNAL (MIC

IN)

MIC IN is an electronically balanced XLR-type input for connecting low-impedance microphones.

CAUTION: Before making any connections or disconnections, make sure to set the MIC GAIN level control to the counterclockwise stop. Extremely high volume settings may result in unpleasing feedback noise.

11 LINE LEVEL CONTROL (LINE TRIM)

Level control for adjusting the amplification of the signal at the LINE IN input.

The D 11A receives its power supply via the lockable MAINS IN connector.

Only the provided power cord may be used. Connect the D 11A only to a

mains network, which corresponds to the requirements indicated on the

type plate. Press the yellow button at the plug to disconnect the power

cord.

CAUTION: This applicance has no user-servicable parts inside. Leave any servicing and maintenance to qualified service technicians only.

7 AUX LEVEL CONTROL (AUX LEVEL)

This control is used to adjust the input level of the signal source that is connected to AUX IN L / R input.

12 INPUT CONNECTOR FOR AUDIO SIGNAL (LINE IN)

LINE IN is an electronically bal-

anced input for connecting high-

impedance audio signal sources

like mixers, electronic music in-

struments like keyboards, guitars

and bass guitars with built-in active electronics. It is possible to connect balanced as well as unbalanced gear at the LINE

IN input using an monaural or stereo phone plug cable or XLR-type plug cable. Balanced connection is preferable whenever the source unit has a balanced output stage. Following this advice will provide you with the advantage of less interference that is introduced from external hum or HF-induction.

CAUTION: Before making any connections or disconnections, make sure to set the level control to the counterclockwise stop.

D 11A

13 OUTPUT CONNECTOR FOR AUDIO SIGNAL (LINE THRU)

14 OUTPUT CONNECTOR (MASTER OUT)

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

The output connector provides the Master Signal (Line+Mic+Aux) for ”carrying through“ the input signal. The level of the output signal is independent of the setting of the Master level control (”Pre Fader”).

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

D 11A.

4.Set the level controls VOLUME and LINE TRIM of the D 11A 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 occur. When using a DYNACORD CMS mixer, no power-off noise will be output from the ‘Master Outputs‘. This allows switching off the mixer first without a problem.

D 11A

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.
