DS2.0
The DS 2.0 is a state-of-the-art Class D amplifier module for active subwoofer use. Accurate rendition of the low bass range is a
substantial component of a high-quality music reproduction. For an impressive bass rendition large loudspeakers are unfortunately
inevitable. If you prefer small loudspeakers for optical reasons, you can use the DS2.0 to extend your bass rendition. The crossover
frequency is adjustable steplessly between 30Hz and 120Hz. Due to this large range of control a problem-free connection is possible to
different subwoofer and other loudspeaker systems. Additionally this active system has a low bass rise. An active 4th order subsonic
filter with Butterworth characteristic protects the loudspeaker against mechanical overloading, since the ultralow portion of the fed signal
would cause extreme diaphragm deflections.
Connections
Be sure to disconnect the DS2.0 from the mains before proceeding!
Connect the loudspeaker, wired with wire of sufficient cross-section (1.5mm2 or 15AWG), to the amplifier board as shown in the picture
above. Use suitable crimp connectors and crimp them with a suitable crimp tool. Check the voltage selector on the front panel and make
sure the voltage is set according the mains voltage used in your country.
