Note
The USB socket present on the
18S connection panel is intended
for fault diagnosis and rmware
update only. It cannot be used
for audio connection or playback.
Contact your Dynaudio retailer
or Dynaudio directly for more
information of rmware updates.
6. Trigger input. The trigger input
enables wired remote control of
subwoofer standby and operational
modes in automated systems. Your
Dynaudio retailer or installer will be
able to provide more information
on the use of the 18S in home
automation systems.
Mains and signal connections
The 18S is tted on its rear face with a
connection and control panel carrying
mains, signal and conne ction sockets.
The panel is illustrated in Diagram 3 and
its connection facilities are described in
the following paragraphs.
1. Mains power socket. Connect the
subwoofer to a mains power supply
using the cable supplied. If multiple
cables are supplied with your
subwoofer, use the one appropriate
for your territory.
2. Balanced XLR input sockets
(left and right). If your monitoring
hardware provides balanced outputs
connect them to these sockets using
high quality balanced XLR audio
cables.
3. Balanced XLR output sockets
(left and right). The XLR output
sockets are intended for the
connection of active left and right
monitors or for a power amplier
driving passive monitors.
4. Unbalanced phono input sockets
(left and right). If your monitoring
hardware provides unbalanced
phono outputs connect them to
these sockets using high quality
phono audio cables.
5. Unbalanced phono output
sockets (left and right). The phono
output sockets are intended for the
connection of active left and right
monitors or for a power amplier
driving passive monitors.
Note
Do not switch on your subwoofer
until all other connections have
been made.
Note
The 18S distance compensation
signal processing can only
function correctly if the monitors
are driven via the subwoofer
outputs.
Note
If your audio source provides only
a mono subwoofer output it can
be connected to either 18S phono
input. In this case however the
main speakers must be driven
from the audio source and not via
the 18S outputs.
Note
The 18S distance compensation
signal processing can only
function correctly if the monitors
are driven via the subwoofer
outputs.
Note
Balanced signal connection is a
feature of professional audio and
of some high-end domestic audio
equipment. It is inherently more
resistant to interference and noise
than unbalanced connection.
