The DAP DRX Passive Series V3 encompasses a range of passive speaker cabinets and subwoofers designed to provide a cost-effective, high-grade audio solution for various applications, including churches, conference centers, and discos. This series offers flexibility in model selection to suit specific requirements.
The DRX Passive Series V3 is a line of passive loudspeakers, meaning they require an external power amplifier to operate. The series includes both full-range passive speakers (DRX-8, DRX-10, DRX-12, DRX-15) and passive subwoofers (DRX-10B, DRX-12B, DRX-15B, DRX-18B). These speakers are designed to work in conjunction with a mixer and power amplifier to create a complete sound system.
The full-range speakers are 2-way vented passive cabinets, featuring a woofer and a driver for high-frequency reproduction. The subwoofers are reflex subwoofers, designed to extend the low-frequency response of the sound system. All models are equipped with Speakon connectors for robust and reliable audio connections. The "THRU" connection on the rear panel allows for direct linking of multiple speaker cabinets in parallel, simplifying system expansion.
Connection examples illustrate common setups:
The operational sequence for setting up the system involves ensuring all equipment is powered off and volume controls are down before making connections. The speaker cables connect the power amplifier outputs to the speaker inputs. The mixer is turned on first, followed by the stereo power amplifier. The PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) function on the mixer is used to set proper input levels, and the Main Mix Level controls the overall output. When shutting down, the stereo power amplifier is turned off first, then the mixer.
The DRX Passive Series V3 speakers are built for ease of integration into existing or new sound systems. Their passive design allows users to select power amplifiers that best match their specific power and impedance requirements, offering flexibility in system design. The inclusion of Speakon connectors ensures secure and professional connections, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections during operation.
The "THRU" output on both the full-range speakers and subwoofers is a key feature for expanding the system. It allows for direct parallel connection of additional speakers, simplifying cabling and reducing the need for complex signal distribution. This is particularly useful for larger venues or when more coverage is needed.
The cabinets are constructed from MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), glued and reinforced, with a resistant black paint finish, metal grilles, and rubber feet, ensuring durability and protection during transport and use. Many models also include a metal standard pole-mount, allowing for flexible placement on speaker stands or poles, which is crucial for optimizing sound dispersion in various environments.
Maintaining the DRX Passive Series V3 speakers involves several best practices to ensure longevity and reliable performance:
