SUB120 120 WATT 10" SUBWOOFER
•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 SUBWOOFER OUTPUT located on the rear panel of the DMS80 to the RIGHT PREAMP INPUT on the SUB120.
•Set the SUB120’s Volume control to about 6, and since the DMS80’s SUBWOOFER OUTPUT is High- passed at 100 Hz, set the SWEEP control to 180Hz.
•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 SUBWOOFER LEVEL control located on the DMS80 front control panel and adjust the low frequency output to your taste. You can experiment with the balance between the SUB120 and the DMS satellite speakers by adjusting the SUBWOOFER LEVEL control. Once you find the balance you like, the SUB120 will track the satellites when you raise or lower your mixer’s output.
