FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY

BEFORE YOUR INITIAL START-UP!

WARNING

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this system has to:

-be qualified

-follow the instructions of this manual

Before you initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should

there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the system.

To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to

follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.

Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the system are not subject to

warranty.

This system contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.

IMPORTANT:

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-

observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.

Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all

connections with the mains with particular caution!

Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.

Never use anything to cover the ground contact.

Never leave any cables lying around.

Do not insert objects into air vents.

Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.

Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.

Do not open the device and do not modify the device.

Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full

output.

Do not plug Mics into the console (or stagebox) while Phantom Power is on. Also mute the monitor

/ Pa system when turning Phantom Power on or off. Allow the system to adjust for a couple of

seconds, before setting the input gains.

Only use system indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.

Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.

Always disconnect power from the mains, when system is not used. Only handle the power-cord

by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.

Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground.

Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.

Make sure that the signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.

Make sure you use DI boxes to balance unbalanced signals; All incoming signals should be clear.

CAUTION!

Keep this system away from rain and moisture!

CAUTION! Be careful with your operations.

With a dangerous voltage you can suffer

a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!

Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.

Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the power-

cord from time to time.

Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable, or select the

input mode switch.

Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving

your equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the

INPUT control.

To emphasize a frequency range, you don’t necessarily have to move its respective control

upward; try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next

piece of equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve

(“headroom”)

Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the

same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!

If system is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified

engineer inspect for safety before operating.

If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do

not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave

the system switched off until it has reached room temperature.

If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit

securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for

service.

Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.

For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.

WARRANTY: Till one year after date of purchase.

Description of the device

Features

The X-12A is an active 2-way Fullrange speakersystem:

•Lightweight switched mode power supply

• Separate amplifiers for mid and high speaker

• Active 2 way crossover network

•User adjustable crossover frequency 60Hz-250Hz, 24dB/oct.

• Multiband limiter circuit for optimal tone balance and sound pressure level

• Loudness switch for enhanced low frequency response

• Ground lift switch

• Extra low frequency balanced output

Overview

Fig. 1

Controlpanel

Fig. 2

1) Volume

Use to adjust the input volume level for the X-12A.

2) Limiter LED

We suggest you to set the input level with the L-R level controls in such way that the LED blinks

occasionally. If the LED lights up continuously we strongly suggest you to lower the Volume control

(1).

3) Loudness Button

The loudness circuit amplifies certain frequencies in order to get a more full sound at low volumes.

4) Low frequency

Use to set the optimal crossover frequency for the active subwoofer connected to the low output.

5) Sattelite/ Fullrange Button

Allows you to switch the X-12A as either a satellite speaker (in combination with an additional

Subwoofer) or as a full range speaker.

6) Combo Input

The input equipped with 3 pole XLR/ jack combo socket is electronically balanced to accept the

(line) signal from any mixing console.

7) Full range XLR Output

For linking several X-12A speakers.

8) Ground Lift Switch

When this button is pressed, it separates the signal ground from the chassis ground, enabling you to

eliminate potential ground loops or low-frequency hum.

9) Low XLR Output

For connection of an optional subwoofer.

10) AC Inlet With Integrated Fuse Holder

This connector is meant for the connection of the supplied main cord. Connect one end of the

power cord to the connector, the other end to the mains, then turn on the power switch (11) to

operate the unit.

Note: Please make sure that the supply voltage matches the operation voltage before connecting

the unit to mains. Replace the fuse only with a fuse of same specification (T4A).

11)AC Power Switch

This is the main Power switch. Press to turn the X-12A on.

Operation

Installation

Remove all packing materials from the X-12A. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed.

Connect all cables.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Set Up and Operation

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 240V power, or vice versa.

Do not supply power before all components of the system are set up and connected properly.

Connection Cables

Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when

coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability.

Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges,

etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.

Headphones Unbalanced mono Balanced mono Insert

Compensation of interference with balanced connections

Maintenance

The X-12A requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the

mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid.

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the audio connections with a damp

cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.

Replacing a Fuse

Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the

fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do

so.

1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.

2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover.

3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.

4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to

use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
