CAUTION: Read all cautionary notes concerning electrical power in Chapter 1.

Each DSA Series loudspeaker is rated for a particular nominal AC Mains voltage: 115 V or 230 V. Provide the loudspeaker with 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC Mains circuit capable of:

 

100 V to 120 V

220 V to 240 V

DSA230

Before applying power, ensure that the AC Mains voltage matches the voltage rating on the loudspeaker.

DANGER: DO NOT APPLY 230 V MAINS POWER IF THE VOLTAGE RATING ON THE LOUDSPEAKER IS 115 V. IMMEDIATE AND CATAS- TROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE LOUDSPEAKER WILL RESULT AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

The supplied Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA plug mates with the Neutrik PowerCon NAC3MPA AC MAINS jack on the loudspeaker. Because of both varying installation and electrical code requirements, neither an AC Mains cable nor AC mains supply connection are supplied.

1.Supply and connect a 3-conductor power cable to the supplied PowerCon plug, ensuring a proper ground connection.

2.Supply and attach an appropriate connector for the AC Mains connection at the other end.

Recommended Power Cable

Conductor Gauge: 14 AWG / 2.5 mm (limited by PowerCon design)

Cable O.D.: 5 mm to 15 mm (limited by PowerCon design) Recommended

There is NO power on/off switch on DSA Series loudspeakers. The loudspeaker will be powered on (energized) when connected to an AC mains supply. The LED on the “Signal End” will flash rapidly for about 3 seconds when first powered on. This is normal and indicates the electronics are being initialized.
