9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or the grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two

blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician

for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a car t is used, use caution when moving

the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for a long period of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or orbjects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not oper ate

normally, or has been dropped.

15. Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the equipment.

16. To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.

17. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

18. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

19. The product should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

IMPORTANT SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer

all servicing to qualified service personnel.

1. Security regulations as stated in the EN 60065 (VDE 0860 / IEC 65) and the CSA E65 - 94 have to be obeyed when servicing the appliance.

2. Use of a mains separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be operated and is connected to the mai ns.

3. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the mains voltage or the output voltage.

4. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure), respectively between the mains poles has to be 3 mm and

needs to be minded at all times. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected to the mains

(secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.

5. Replacing special components that are marked in the circuit diagram using the security symbol (Note) is only permissible when using original parts.

6. Altering the circuitry without prior consent or advice is not legitimate.

7. Any work security regulations that are applicable at the locations where the appliance is being serviced have to be strictly obeyed. This applies also to any regulations

about the work place itself.

All instructions concerning the handling of MOS-circuits have to be observed.

WEEE RECYCLING/DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Wheelie Bin symbol found on the product or in the manual indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste. It is in our category the

manufacturer’s responsibility to properly dispose of their waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) at the end of its life. Due to the differences in each EU

count ry’s manag ement of WE EE, please contact you r local dist ributor. We are co mmitted to f acilitate ou r own elect ronic-waste- management-system, for the free of

charge return of all EVI Audio GmbH products: Telex, DYNACORD, Electro-Voice and RTS. Arrangements are made with the dealer where you purchased the

equipment from, for the returning of all unusable equipment at no cost, to the factory in Straubing, for environmental protective disposal.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

”dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of

sufficent magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to per-

sons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to

alert the user to the presence of important operating and

maintance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying

the appliance.

NOTE: SAFETY COMPONENT (MUST BE REPLACED BY ORIGINAL PART)

D 8A

1 Introduction

The DYNACORD PowerSub 112 and 212 powered sub-

woofers are perfectly suited for building multi-component

active loudspeaker systems, e.g. an active 3-way system

using powered fullrange speakers like the DYNACORD

D 8A or the DYNACORD D 11A. Due to its vented design

this subwoofers offers much more musical, tight and

punchy bass than typical bandpass designs often found in

this type of product range.

PowerSub 112

The PowerSub 112 is great for enhancing the low frequen-

cy response of active fullrange speakers like the D 8A. De-

spite its light weight and compact dimensions the

subwoofer still produces a very powerful bass line even at

very low frequencies. The 200 W RMS or 400 W Maximum

Amplifier Output Capability class D technology amplifier

modul has an integrated crossover with mid/hi output. The

signal polarity can also be switched if necessary.

PowerSub 212

The PowerSub 212 is a very compact 2 x 12“ subwoofer

with an integrated 2 x 200 W RMS or 2 x 400 W Maximum

Amplifier Output Capability class D technology amplifier

module. The integrated stereo crossover means it‘s simple

to build an active 3-way system with mono subwoofer and

active fullrange speakers. The PowerSub 212 is perfectly

matched with the D 8A or the D 11A and delivers the low-

est bass at the highest sound pressure levels. As with the

PowerSub 112 the sound is always clean, with no distor-

tion, even for the most demanding applications. Four cas-

tors allow easy transportation and handling.

1.1 Scope of Delivery, Unpacking and

Inspection

Carefully open the packaging and take out the cabinet. In-

spect the cabinet’s enclosure for damages that might have

occured during transportation. Each cabinet is examined

and tested in detail before leaving the manufacturing site

to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition at your place.

Please inform the transport company immediately if the

cabinet shows any damage. Being the addressee, you are

the only person who can claim damages in transit. Keep

the cardboard box and all packaging materials for inspec-

tion by the transport company.

Keeping the cardboard box including all packing materials

is also recommended, if the cabinet shows no external

damages.

CAUTION: Do not ship the cabinet in any other than its

original packaging.

Packing the cabinet like it was packed by the manufacturer

guarantees optimum protection from transport damage.

1.2 Warranty

Keep the original invoice that states the purchase/delivery

date together with the warranty certificate at a safe place.

The manufacturer‘s warranty covers all substantial defects

in materials and workmanship for a period of 36 months

from the date of purchase. Liability claims are accepted

solely, when a valid - correctly and completely filled out -

Warranty Registration Form is presented by the original

owner of the product. The warranty does not cover dam-

age that results from improper or inadequate treatment or

maintenance. In case of alteration or unauthorized repairs,

the warranty is automatically terminated.

HINT: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-

ference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residental area is

likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his
