•Make the connections between your mixer and your DMS80 monitor system as described in the DMS80’s users manual and make sure that you turn your mixer all the way down.

*Connect the RIGHT and LEFT LINE OUTPUTS located on the rear panel of the DMS80 to the RIGHT and LEFT PREAMP INPUTS on the SUB120.

•Turn the SUB120’s Volume all the way off, and set the SWEEP control to 100Hz.

•Now run some audio, like music on a CD, through your mixer and raise the output to the DMS80 monitor system to a comfortable listening level.

•Now, slowly raise the SUB120’s LEVEL control and adjust the low frequency output to your taste. You can experiment by listening to the difference when adjusting the crossover point with the SWEEP control. Also, listen as you adjust the balance between the SUB120 and the DMS satellite speakers by changing the SUB120’s LEVEL control. Once you find the balance you like, the SUB120 will track the satellites when you raise or lower your mixer’s output.
