• In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti dell'involucro,
a meno che non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano, possono
venire alla luce parti dell'apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.
• Se l'apertura dell'apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispensabile
staccare precedentemente quest'ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensione. Rispettare
tale misura di prevenzione anche prima di un allineamento, di operazioni di
manutenzione, della messa in esercizio o della sostituzione di componenti
all'interno dell'apparecchio.
• Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni dell'apparecchio in presenza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente da personale
specializzato ed autorizzato, in grado di eseguire tali operazioni evitandone
i rischi connessi.
• Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036 (vedi
illustrazione 1 a fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione pericolosa
con cui evitare il contatto. Per questo motivo, prima di accendere l'apparecchio, collegare quest'ultimo agli altoparlanti servendosi esclusivamente del
cavetto d'allacciamento indicato dal produttore.
•Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati all'involucro dell'apparecchio per quanto possibile.
• Utilizzare esclusivamente fusibili del tipo IEC 127 con la indicata corrente nominale.
• L'utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito del

Unique features for premium performance
Digital amping
– for enhanced efficiency and dynamics
With an extremely high efficiency rating topping
the 90% mark, Class D digital power amps are
substantially smaller, lighter, and more compact than
comparable conventional amps. The reduced
thermal load on components enhances reliability,
while the far faster slew rate and higher attenuation
factor audibly enhance the speed and accuracy of the
system’s dynamic response.
DDO™ Controller technology
The DDO™ Controller compensates for varying
response of components such as low-frequency,
midrange and high-frequency speakers, power amps,
crossovers and so forth to forge a homogenous
system with uniform dynamics and a sonic image
with sharply defined contours.
DuoTilt™
– making the most of sonic energy
The novel DuoTilt™ pole mount allows sound energy
to be utilized far more efficiently. DuoTilt™ offers
7.5° and 15° angles of tilt, enabling perfect mid/high
unit-to-audience alignment. Troublesome ceiling
reflections are minimized, making the sound clearer,
tighter, and more focused.
Easy Setup and Handling
– for less pre-gig stress
Like all HK AUDIO Active Systems, ACTOR DX
was designed as a cohesive system consisting of
perfectly matched components. Painstaking effort
was invested in ensuring ACTOR DX can be transported easily and set up quickly. Handling and EQing
couldn’t be any easier, with no complicated and
time-consuming tweaking challenges to master.
ACTOR DX Manual 1.0
1 ACTOR DX System
Components
ADX 112 A Mid/High Unit
These enclosures are loaded with one 12" HK AUDIO
Custom speaker and one 1. 4" compression driver
with a 60° x 40° CD horn. Delivering 600 W RMS,
the Class D power amp is housed in a separate
chamber along with the DDO™ Controller.
ADX 115 Sub A Subwoofer
The ACTOR DX A Sub’s housing is split up into two
chambers. The front chamber serves as the speaker
cabinet for the 15" front-loaded loudspeaker, which
has a power handling capacity of 500 W RMS and a
nominal impedance of 8 ohms. The power amp is
housed in a separate compartment at the rear of the
cabinet.
ADX 115 Sub B Subwoofer
The housings and speakers of the ADX 115 Sub Bs
and Sub A are identical. The Sub B is the passive
version of the Sub A.
2 Transport
To transport the system, simply set the subwoofers
on their casters and place the mid/high units onto
the subwoofers with the foam rubber grille side
facing down. Use original HK AUDIO‚ covers to get
your system ready to handle the rigors of the road.
Padded and protected against moisture, your
ACTOR DX system is sure to serve you well for a
long time to come.
3 Setup and Cable Connections
3.1 The Standard ACTOR DX System
The standard system comprises
two ACTOR ADX 112 A mid/high units,
two ADX 115 Sub A subwoofers and
two ADX 115 Sub B subwoofers.
Always connect ACTOR DX starting at the top and
working your way down (refer to the diagram on the
rear panel of ACTOR DX components)! This may
seem unusual if you are accustomed to working with
active systems where signals are routed via
paralleled pass-through jacks, which would allow
connections to be made in any sequence.
ACTOR DX, in contrast, features the DDO™ System
Controller housed in the ADX 112 A mid/high unit.
This controller lets you determine basic settings
such as the system configuration, the mid/high
unit’s level and the subwoofer’s level right on the
mid/high unit. DDO™ then routes signals from the
mid/high unit to Sub A.
Note: Always connect cords in the correct sequence.
Never connect a cord carrying a signal from a mixer
directly to Sub A because this bypasses the DDO™
system controller! Always connect signal sources to
the “master” system input located on ACTOR DX
mid/high units!
3.2 ACTOR DX Full-range Setup
The full-range setup comprises
two ACTOR ADX 112 A mid/high units.
Select the appropriate system configuration on the
system controller's control panel. In full-range mode,
the subwoofer output (DDO™ controlled) is disabled
to prevent handling errors.
3.3 ACTOR DX Club Set
The club set comprises
two ACTOR ADX 112 A mid/high units and
two ADX 115 Sub A bins.

English
3.4 Dual ACTOR DX System
The dual system comprises four
ACTOR ADX 112 A mid/high units, four ADX
115 Sub A bins and four ADX 115 B Sub bins.
Connect cables from top to bottom as described
above. Plug a microphone cord into the first
mid/high unit’s THROUGH port to route the mixer
signal to the second ACTOR DX stack.
Ensure XLR connectors are wired as follows:
1= ground, 2= +, 3= -
3.5 Flying ACTOR ADX 112 A Mid/High Units
Use the HK AUDIO rigging frame to fly ACTOR DX
mid/high units. To attach the frame, remove the
countersunk M10 hex head bolts from the side
panels. Bolt the rigging frame’s brackets to the
enclosure. Set the mid/high unit’s inclination to the
desired angle by loosening the knobs on the sides
and firmly hand-tightening them again. The serrated
plastic washers hold the mid/high unit in place.
Note: For reasons of safety, use tested and certified
load-securing devices only (for example, halfcouplers, TV spigots, brackets, and so forth)!
Ensure wall and pole mounts are designed to handle
the load (an ACTOR ADX 112 A weighs 30 kg).
3.6 Using the ACTOR DX Tilt Unit
Using the optional tilt unit couldn’t be easier:
Proceed as if mounting the enclosure on a pole.
Set the ACTOR DX tilt unit with the bottom plate
facing down on the upper subwoofer and then set
the ACTOR mid/high unit on it so the tilt unit’s rod
is inserted into one of the two holes (7.5° or 15°).
Question
Can I connect speakers other than an ACTOR DX
mid/high unit to an ACTOR DX Sub A or Sub B
subwoofer?
Answer
The system components are acoustically matched
for optimum audio performance and may be
operated in the indicated configuration only. Using
other mid/high units can degrade the sound and
damage the power amp (e.g. the Sub A’s).
Sub A’s nominal impedance is 4 ohms, and
impedance may not fall short of this value. Connect
no more than one Sub B to Sub A’s speaker out.

4 Connections and Control
Features
4.1 ACTOR ADX 112 A
1 Power Switch
Handling: This is the on/off switch for the active
system. When engaged, the system controller’s
display lights up orange.
Always switch the ACTOR DX active system on last,
that is, after powering up all other components, and
switch it off first before powering down all other
connected devices.
2 Mains Input
Connecting cords: Use the factory-included Powercon cable to connect this socket to a wall receptacle.
Caution! Make sure the local mains voltage matches
the voltage specified on the device. If you connect
the system to the wrong mains voltage, you may
destroy the ACTOR DX system’s electronic
components.
3 Mains Link
Connecting cords: The Powercon Link socket is wired
in parallel to the Mains Input. Connect other load
consumers (for example, another ACTOR DX
mid/high unit or an ACTOR DX Sub A bin) to it.
Heads up: The Powercon Link socket can handle
loads up to 11.6 A and 2780 W (at 230 volts). This
means you can use it to power up to but no more
than two additional ACTOR DX components.
Note: Always switch on ACTOR DX components one
after another to prevent a sudden spike in the
venue’s power supply. Otherwise the power surge
may cause the house circuit breaker to trip.
4 Ground
Ground lift button for separating the signal and
chassis ground in the event of humming noises.
In the event of low-frequency hum, engage the
Ground Lift switch. The ground circuit is severed
when this button is pressed. If this doesn’t solve the
problem, check all cords connected to ACTOR DX as
well as all signal cables routed to the mixing console
for damage (see also Tips and Tricks).
5 Input Sensitivity
This selector matches the preamp’s input sensitivity
to the mixer’s output signal level.
Engage this switch to select either -10 dB (for example, for unbalanced 1/4” jacks and consumer level
devices) or +0 dB (for example, for balanced XLR
ports and professional mixers).
Recommendation: Select +0 dB when using a
professional-grade mixer sporting balanced outputs.
This lets you take advantage of console faders’ full
control range and helps prevent overloads.
Opt for -10 dB A when using a console with a lower
output level (unbalanced 1/4" output).
6 Input Overload
This LED lights up when the input level is too high
and the entire system (preamp and controller) is
being overdriven. Not only does this result in
unpleasant distortion, it can also harm the system’s
components. If the red LED lights up, reduce the
level (volume) at the mixer!
7 Line In
Connecting cords: Connect cords carrying signals
from your mixer (master left/right, line out, or a
similar circuit) to the balanced inputs using a mic
cord equipped with XLR connectors.
Ensure XLR connectors are wired as follows:
1= ground, 2= +, 3= -.
8 Through
Connecting cords: Use this parallel output to route
the incoming line signal to other components (for
example, to additional ACTOR DX mid/high units)
via XLR cords.
9 Limiter LEDs
These are the active system’s "rev counters," serving
to indicate the limiter’s operating status.
10 Subwoofer Output
Connecting cords: Use this output to send the
subwoofer signal from the DDO™ controller to an
ACTOR ADX 115 Sub A via an XLR cord.
Ensure XLR connectors are wired as follows:
1= ground, 2= +, 3= -.

Use these buttons to select system configurations.
Operation: To enable the buttons, press Up and
Down simultaneously and hold for about one to two
seconds. The letter U (for unlocked) appears briefly
in the display. Now you can press Up and/or Down
to select the desired setup (see the table above). The
buttons are automatically disabled soon thereafter.
The letter L (locked) appears briefly in the display.
13 Top Level
Operation: Use this knob to determine the volume of
the mid/high unit. The standard setting is 0 dB at
the 12 o’clock position. This means the level is
neither boosted nor cut.
14 Subwoofer Level
Operation: When the knob is set to the 12 o’clock
position, the subwoofer’s and the mid/high unit’s
respective volumes are matched, ensuring bass and
mid/high ranges are rendered in balanced musical
proportion. If desired, twist the Subwoofer Level
knob to the left to decrease and to the right to
increase the subwoofer’s level by up to 6 dB.
Tip: If necessary or desired, use the Subwoofer Level
knob to boost or cut bass frequencies below 100 Hz
rather than resorting to the mixer’s master EQ.

More about limiter LEDs
A dedicated LED indicates the limiter status for the
mid/high-range signal path and the subwoofer
circuit, respectively.
What do the lights mean?
The green LED indicates that the given input is
receiving a signal. As long as the LED lights up
green, the system is operating at low-to-medium
levels, with plenty of headroom available for the
power amps. Yellow indicates that the system is
being pushed close to its threshold. The yellow LED
may flash at regular intervals, but it may not
illuminate continuously. If it does this, back off the
volume on your mixer.
If the LED constantly lights up red, there is a
problem in the power amp and the system will shut
down. In this case, have a qualified service
technician check the device.
ACTOR DX Manual 1.0
4.2 ACTOR ADX 115 Sub A
1 Power Switch
Operation: This is the on/off switch for the active
system. When engaged, the Power On LED lights up
red. Always switch the ACTOR DX active system on
last, that is, after powering up all other components,
and switch it off first before powering down all other
connected devices.
2 Mains Input
Connecting cords: Use the factory-included Powercon cord to connect this socket to a wall receptacle.
Caution! Make sure the local mains voltage matches
the voltage specified on the device. If you connect
the system to the wrong mains voltage, you may
destroy the ACTOR DX system’s electronic
components.
3 Power On LED
This LED lights up when the Power switch is set to
ON and the system is connected to a mains power
supply.
4 Subwoofer Input
Connecting cords: To patch the signal from the
DDO™ controller to a Sub A bin, plug one end of a
mic cord equipped with XLR connectors into the
mid/high unit’s Subwoofer output and the other into
the Subwoofer Input. Ensure XLR connectors are
wired as follows: 1= ground, 2= +, 3= -.
Note: Never patch the mixer's line and/or master
signal directly into Sub A’s Subwoofer Input. This
bypasses the system’s controller, crossover, equalization and protection circuitry, risking serious damage
to the subwoofer. Read chapter 3, Setup and Cable
Connections, for more on this.
5 To Sub B Speaker Output
Connecting cords: Use this parallel Speakon
®
output
to connect a passive ACTOR DX B Sub bin.
Note: Be sure to twist the Speakon“ connectors
clockwise until they lock in place! You must first disengage the safety catch before you can unplug the
connector. To do this, pull the bayonet catch towards
the cord. Pin assignments are pin 1+ = +, pin 1- = -.
Feel free to use a four-core cable if you wish, though
pin 2+ and 2- remain unused, of course.
4.3 ACTOR ADX 115 Sub B
6 Sub B In
Connecting cords: Connect the Speakon®input to
the ADX 115 Sub A bin’s Speaker Output using a
suitable loudspeaker cord.
5 Tips and Tricks
Do not expose electronic circuitry to moisture! When
you set the system up outdoors, be sure to protect it
against rain. Keep soft drinks, beer and all other
liquids well away from the cabinets to protect their
electronic components from short circuits.
Ensure that the ducts on the enclosures’ rear panels
are free of dirt and the devices are ventilated
properly. Otherwise, electronic components may
overheat and suffer damage.
ACTOR DX delivers optimum sound, so you should
provide it with optimum input signals! Noise such as
humming is generally caused by defective cables, the
wrong type of cords, or unbalanced signals routed
into the mixing console. Check all signal and mains
cables.
Prevent distortion! Not only is it unpleasant to your
audience’s ears, it also endangers your equipment.
Make sure all components that are connected
directly and indirectly to ACTOR DX have sufficient
power ratings, and that they don’t distort because
they‘re running at their respective limits. Provide an
undistorted signal to the system that doesn’t have to
be cleaned up by backing off the Gain knob.
Avoid ground loops! You may encounter a ground
loop when the mixer is grounded via a mains cord
which isn’t connected to the same mains circuit as
ACTOR DX. To prevent this problem, always connect
the ACTOR DX system and the mixing console to the
same electrical circuit (same phase!). If your equip-

7 Troubleshooting
The Power On LED or display does not light up red
when switched on.
1 Check if the power cord is plugged into the Mains
Input.
2 Check if the mains power supply is providing
current.
3 Check if the house circuit breaker has tripped.
The Power On LED lights up red, but the cabinets
produce no sound.
1 Check the cords connected to the inputs.
2 Check if the signal sources (mixer, keyboard, CD
player, etc.) are on.
3 Are the Gain knobs turned up?
4 Check the speaker cords for damage.
5 Check if the Speakon“ connectors are locked
(twisted to the right). An electrical connection is
established only if their locking mechanism
engages.
The subwoofer’s low frequency output is weak.
1 Check the setting of the Subwoofer Level knob. Set
Sub A’s volume to the desired level using the
Subwoofer Level.
2 Check if the system configuration "Top Only" is
selected on the system controller. This mutes the
subwoofers.
The signal sounds distorted.
1 Check the LED displays on your mixer. Ensure they
are not constantly in the red. If necessary, back off
the volume at the mixer.
2 If the LED displays on your mixer are in the green,
but the sound is still distorted, back off the Level
knobs on the ACTOR ADX 112 A enclosures.
3 Observe the Input Overload indicator and the
Limiter LEDs on the ACTOR DX mid/high units’
control panels. It is acceptable for these to flash
yellow from time to time, but under no
circumstances may the yellow LEDs illuminate
continuously. If they do, turn down the Level
knobs. Check also the Input Sensitivity setting.
If the signal is saturated, set it to +0 dB.
Annoying hum
1 Check the cords connecting the signal source to
ACTOR DX. Replace damaged cords.
2 If you cannot pinpoint the cause of the humming,
engage Ground Lift. This should remedy the
problem in most cases.

Einzigartige Features für beste Performance
Digital Amping
– mehr Effizienz und Dynamik
Mit einer extrem hohen Effizienz von über 90 %
sind Class-D Digital-Endstufen wesentlich kleiner,
leichter und kompakter als herkömmliche Endstufen.
Die geringere thermische Belastung der Bauteile
erhöht die Zuverlässigkeit. Die wesentlich schnellere
Anstiegszeit (slew-rate) und der höhere Dämpfungsfaktor werden in einer deutlich schnelleren,
präziseren Ansprache der Systeme hörbar.
DDO™ Controller-Technologie
Der DDO™-Controller kompensiert die lautsprecherabhängigen Dynamikunterschiede von
PA-Komponenten (Bass-, Mitten- und Hochtonlautsprecher, Endstufen, Frequenzweichen, etc.) und
schaffen so ein dynamisch homogenes System aus
einem Guss.
DuoTilt™
– bessere Ausnutzung der Schallenergie
Der neu entwickelte DuoTilt™ Hochständerflansch
ermöglicht eine effizientere Ausnutzung der Schallenergie. Mit zwei verschiedenen Aufstellwinkeln
(7,5°, 15°) können die Satelliten optimal auf das
Publikum ausgerichtet werden. Störende Deckenreflexionen werden vermieden, der Sound wird
druckvoller und klarer.
Easy Setup and Handling
– weniger Stress vor dem Auftritt
Wie alle HK AUDIO Aktiv-Systeme wurde ACTOR DX
als System konzipiert und besteht aus perfekt aufeinander abgestimmten Komponenten. Bei der Entwicklung wurde darauf geachtet, dass ACTOR DX
einfach zu transportieren und schnell aufzubauen
ist. Die Bedienung ist unkompliziert und schwierige
Einstellarbeiten sind nicht erforderlich.
