Dynacord 315 Controls And Indicators, X-Over, Sub Level, Satellite Speaker Output, Mode Switch

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

X-OVER

This switch lets you control the X-over frequency between subwoofer and Mid-High-range satellite cabinets. The factory setting (100Hz) is ideally suited for 12” satellite speaker systems. The 160Hz setting matches top cabinets and protects the 10” or 8” transducers’ diaphragms from mechanical overload. When employing top cabinets with 15” speakers, the 80Hz position mostly provides improved sound.

SUB LEVEL

This control sets the volume of the PowerSub 315 in a setting range between -∞dB to +10dB, while 0dB marks the center position. Always adjust the PowerSub 315’s output level as precise as possible and use the mixer’s bass controls for minor sound corrections only.

SATELLITE SPEAKER OUTPUT

Outputs for the connection of satellite cabinets (e.g. DYNACORD D 12). Each output provides a power capacity of up to 500W into 4 ohms, offering the possibility of connecting up to two 8 ohms satellite speaker systems (e.g. DYNACORD D 12) per output.

EXTERNAL SUB OUTPUT

This output socket is for the connection of up to two additional passive subwoofers (e.g. one or two DYNACORD SUB 115). Maximum output power of the output is 500W into 4 ohms, when the MODE SWITCH is set to ‘INTERNAL+EXTERN‘.

MODE SWITCH

When set to ‘INTERNAL SUB ONLY‘, only the internal subwoofer is used and driven with 1000W /

8 ohms while the ‘EXTERNAL SUB OUTPUT‘ socket is switched off.

When set to ‘INTERNAL+EXTERNAL‘, the integrated power amps output power is distributed between the internal and externally connected, passive subwoofers. Compared to the ‘INTERNAL SUB ONLY‘ setting and despite the fact of power- output distribution, this setting provides a little bit higher overall SPL because of the increase in the total diaphragm surface and the lower mechanical excursion of each diaphragm.
