Grille
The Onyx subwoofers are equipped with a metal grille on the front to protect the speaker components
behind. There is also acoustic foam behind the grille to prevent any unwanted matter from getting inside the
speaker. The grille should therefore not be removed.
Speaker pole mount
The Devine Onyx subwoofers are equipped with a pole mount with an M20 screw thread. This means that a
suitable speaker pole can be screwed in securely to provide a stable platform for mounting a full-range
speaker on top. Due to a subwoofer's heavier weight and larger dimensions, this setup is space-saving as
well as stable. Naturally, the subwoofer needs to be placed on a flat surface that is capable of holding the
weight of the subwoofer with a speaker on top.
Audio technology
The Onyx speaker series features the very latest in audio technology. By adhering to the following tips and
instructions, you can make the most of everything this speaker has to offer for the very best audio and
performance quality possible.
Using with external equipment
It's possible to use the Onyx subwoofer with external equipment like crossovers, equalisers and speaker
management systems. Bear in mind that using external equipment may change the character of the
speaker's sound.
Using together with a speaker
The Onyx subwoofers are ideal for use with Onyx speakers. For optimal results, it's best to choose a
subwoofer that's a size bigger than your speaker.
Bear in mind that you may need additional equipment in order to set up a complete speaker system. Consult
your dealer for advice. A passive speaker system generally consists of two passive full-range speakers, one
or two passive subwoofers, two amplifiers and a crossover. The crossover separates the frequencies from
the source signal (mixer, DJ controller, tablet, computer etc.) before amplification. Low frequencies are sent
to one amplifier and then passed on the subwoofer(s), while the higher frequencies are sent to the other
amplifier and then passed on to the full-range speakers. Splitting the frequencies in this way gives you the
most efficient and best-sounding results from a passive speaker system.
Using additional equipment like a speaker processing system gives you additional possibilities when it comes
to tweaking the sound and making adjustments that are appropriate for your situation.
