The DS 8.0 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 DS8.0 to
extend your bass rendition. The crossover frequency is adjustable steplessly between 50Hz
and 150Hz. 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 DS8.0 from the mains before proceeding!
Connect the loudspeaker, wired with wire of sufficient cross-section (2.5mm2 or 13AWG), to
BTL+ and BTL- as shown in the picture above. Use 6,3x0,8 FASTON® 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.
