1 Introduction
PSD 215 | 218
The PSD 215 and PSD 218 are high-performance powered
subwoofers designed to simplify creating active 2-way systems. They use an integrated 2-channel digital power amplifier with internal 24-bit 1-into-3 DSP controller to
optimize the sound quality and protect the subwoofer and
full range system used with it. Examples for such systems
are combinations of PSD subwoofers with full-range D-Lite, Corus and VariLine and the new TS 400 array cabinet.
Both models are vented direct-radiators exhibiting outstanding transient response and capable of delivering very
high sound pressure levels. The enclosures are made from
well braced 15 mm Baltic birch plywood with a protective
coating capable of withstanding the rigors of use on the
road. Recessed handles are ergonomically shaped to ensure easy transportation and setting-up – tasks further facilitated by the tour grade castors. A recessed stand
adaptor with an M20 thread is provided on the top of the
enclosure for the pole-mounting of full-range systems. The
horizontal format of the enclosure allows placement beneath the stage or provides an exceptionally stable base
for pole-mount speakers.
The PSD 215 is equipped with a 15" Electro-Voice
DVX3159 woofer specially developed for use in compact
subwoofers. It sets a new standard for minimum size and
maximum acoustic output, while maintaining impressive
deep bass high sound pressure levels.
The PSD 218 with an 18" Electro-Voice DVX3180 long-excursion woofer delivers the performance demanded of 18"
subwoofers in professional concert sound applications. It
produces extended low frequency response from a compact enclosure with plenty of punch.
Both models use a highly efficient Class D technology amplifier and a microprocessor-controlled switched-mode
power supply to deliver 2 x 1000 watts RMS into 4 ohms
for highest quality audio performance. All DYNACORD
power amplifiers are capable of withstanding the most extreme rigors of touring, they are protected against overheating, overload, short circuit, back EMF and open-circuit
operation as well as HF or DC at the output. Thermal stability is assured by an extremely quiet continuously variable speed fan. PROTECT and LIMIT LEDs indicate the
current operating status of the power amplifiers.
The integrated 24-bit digital controller with internal 48-bit
double-precision resolution exhibits a 1-into-3 topology:
SUB channel, TOP channel and an additional DSP Out. The
stored factory presets are optimized for combinations with
DYNACORD fullrange cabinetts. Generic presets for other
combinations and special programs for cardioid and bass
arrays are also provided. The system-alignment-delay, the
polarity and naturally also the level can be edited by the user. The System EQ allows adjustments to be made for the
acoustics of the room. The DSP Out also offers an adjustable delay, high-pass and shelving equalizer as well as a
level control. It is therefore ideally adapted, among other
things, to the use of an active delay box. Signal generators
with sine, pink noise or spike pulses are integrated to facilitate tuning the PA and the setting of delay times. In all, 25
program locations are provided (20 factory presets + 5
user memories). All three channels are equipped with
state-of-the-art look-ahead peak anticipation limiters, the
SUB channel also includes a Thermal Energy Management
and Protection (TEMP) limiter. The TEMP limiter provides
thermal protection for the transducer.

11 PROTECTION INDICATOR (PROTECT)
The PROTECT indicator lights red when one
of the extensive protection circuits – against
thermal overload, HF-induction, DC at the outputs, and
short circuit protection – is activated. In protect mode, the
speaker outputs are muted and the amplifier inputs are
short circuited to prevent the power amp from being
damaged.
In this case you should first check whether the ventilation
louvers are blocked. Another cause could be, that you have
connected to many speakers per power output. Please
also disconnect the Speakon connectors and check the
speaker cables for short circuits. During power-on operation the PROTECT LED always lights for some seconds, signalizing that the protection circuitry is operational.
IMIT INDICATOR (LIMIT)
12 L
The LIMIT indicator signals that you are operating
the PSD at the internal power amp’s limit. Frequent blinking of the LED is acceptable, since the amplifier’s incorporated clip limiter prevents distortion.
Continuous lighting indicates that you have to be aware of
degradation in the outputted sound. In that case, the input
level has to be reduced. The LIMIT LED also lights if the
output level is reduced because of high amplifier temperature.
OWER ON/OFF INDICATOR (ON)
13 P
The ON LED lights green if the mains switch is ON
and the mains cord is connected correctly.

subwoofer).
Enter a positive value (e.g. 50cm) if the PSD is closer to the
audience than the top speaker, in this case the subwoofer
signal is delayed. Enter a negative value (e.g. -100.0cm) if the
top speaker is closer to the audience than the PSD.
The preferred delay unit can be selected in the Device Setup
dialog (see page 11).
SUB Polarity This parameter offers the possibility to invert the sub audio
signal, i.e. to rotate its phase by 180°.
Generator The PSD input channel includes a signal generator. This
parameter allows adjusting the signal level of the generated
signal. Set this parameter to OFF if no signal should be
generated. The parameter Testsignal (see below) allows selecting the generated signal type.
Testsignal This parameter allows selecting the signal type to be
generated. Following signal types are available:
• Pulse: Spike pulse
• Noise: Pink noise
• 40 Hz to 1000 Hz: Sine signal
