1 Introduction
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-Li- te, 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-ex- cursion 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.

1 MAINS CONNECTOR (MAINS IN)
The PSD receives its power supply via the lockable MAINS IN connector. Only the provided power cord may be used.
Connect the PSD 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.
2 MAINS SWITCH (ON/OFF)
Mains switch for switching the unit‘s power ON or OFF. The ON LED lights after turning 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.
3 OUTPUT FOR SUB SIGNAL (EXTERNAL SUB OUTPUT)
This output socket is for the connec-
tion of an additional passive subwoo-
fer. The PSD has a built-in DSP for
signal processing of the signal applied to the INPUT port. The lower band of the processed signal is played back by the PSD and is also
present at this output. We recommend connecting a PSE 215 to a PSD 215 or a PSE 218 to a PSD 218.
HINT: Only connect subwoofers with a minimum power rating of 500 WRMS and a minumum impedance of 8 ohms.
4 OUTPUT FOR MID/HI SIGNAL (TOP SPEAKER OUTPUT)
This output socket is for the connec-
tion of a passive satellite cabinet.
The PSD has a built-in DSP for signal
processing of the signal applied to the INPUT port. The upper band of the processed signal is present at this output. The output provides a
power capacity of up to 1000 WRMS into 4 ohms.
HINT: The minimum allowable impedance at the TOP SPEAKER OUTPUT is 4 ohms.
5 USB CONNECTOR (SERVICE)
the menu for configuring the output signal. The output signal is electronically balanced with a maximum level of +15 dBu. Output impedance is 150 ohms.
7 OUTPUT CONNECTOR (THRU)
The output connector provides the INPUT signal for ”carrying through“ the input signal. This allows a simple cabling from one device to another.
8 INPUT CONNECTOR FOR AUDIO SIGNAL (INPUT)
Electronically balanced input for the connec-
tion of a line level signal source such as mixer, signal processor, etc. Establishing a connection is possible via phone or XLR-type plugs.
Whenever possible, balanced signal feed is always preferable to guard against potential
noise or HF-interference.
9 ROTARY ENCODER (MENU/ENTER)
Adjust the volume (SUB Level) of the PSD by turning the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder. In menu mode (see page 8) the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder is used for navigation and for
selecting and editing parameters. Press the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to select or
execute the highlighted menu item.
10 DISPLAY WITH FOUR FUNCTION KEYS
The PSD includes a premium OLED display. Compared to general LC displays the OLED display is brighter, has a greater contrast ratio and a wider viewing angle. The start screen appears after switching the PSD on. After a few seconds the active preset and other system parameters are displayed. Now you can adjust the volume (SUB Level) of the PSD by turning the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder.

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.
12 LIMIT INDICATOR (LIMIT)
The LIMIT indicator signals that you are operating the PSD at the internal power amp’s limit. Fre-
quent 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.
13 POWER ON/OFF INDICATOR (ON)
The ON LED lights green if the mains switch is ON and the mains cord is connected correctly.
2.2 Menu mode
Press the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder during normal operation to access the menu mode. When entering the menu mode the main menu (see illustration 2-6) is indicated.

Parameter |
Description |
|
|
|
|
SYS Level |
This parameter allows adjusting the volume level of the PSD |
|
|
system. This relative parameter (-10 dB to +6 dB) affects the |
|
|
volume of: |
|
|
• |
the PSD, |
|
• the TOP SPEAKER OUTPUT and |
|
|
• the EXTERNAL SUB OUTPUT. |
|
|
|
|
SYS Delay |
This parameter allows timing adjustment of the complete loud- |
|
|
speakers system driven by the PSD amplifier. This parameter |
|
|
(max. 100.0m) affects the delay of: |
|
|
• |
the PSD, |
|
• the TOP SPEAKER OUTPUT and |
|
|
• the EXTERNAL SUB OUTPUT. |
|
|
The preferred delay unit can be selected in the Device Setup |
|
|
dialog (see page 11). |
|
|
|
|
SUB Delay |
This parameter allows timing adjustment of loudspeakers dri- |
|
|
ven by the PSD amplifier (e.g. alignment of top speaker and |
|
|
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 selec- |
|
|
ting 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 |
