Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Dynaudio BM6A monitor. With the right care and attention it will give you

many years of trouble free audio reproduction. It is most important, however, that you take a few minutes at this

early stage in your BM6A’s life to read the safety instructions. They contain essential information to enable you to

get the best from your monitors.

4BM User manual

Important safety instructions

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warning.

4. Follow all instructions

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliﬁers) that

produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider

than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are

provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the

obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories speciﬁed by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table speciﬁed by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a

cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,

such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or object have fallen into the apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases,

shall be placed on the apparatus.

An appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s

enclosure that may be of sucient magnitude to constitute risk of ﬁre and electric shock.

This symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in

the literature accompanying this product.

Setting Up

Mains Power Connections

Mains power is applied via a fused IEC inlet. The unit must be earthed. The voltage selector switch is used to

match the unit to the mains voltage in your territory. The mains fuse must be the correct value for the voltage

selected. 115 V requires a T3.15A fuse while 230 V requires a T1.6A fuse. The “T” signiﬁes a slow blow type

fuse.

You must ensure that the correct voltage and fuse have been selected before switching the unit on.

Audio Connections

Audio input is via a female XLR connector. The input is electronically balanced with +ve on pin 2, -ve on pin 3 and

ground on pin 1. If your signal source is unbalanced it is usual to connect the unused signal pin (i.e. Pin 3) to

ground. This is normally done inside the connecting cable. For best results use only good quality screened cables

and connectors.

Positioning

The BM6A is designed primarily as a “nearﬁeld” monitor and would normally be positioned 1-3 m from the listener.

It can be mounted on stands or on the meter bridge of the console (providing this is substantial enough). For best

results, the speakers should be “aimed” at the listener in both vertical and horizontal planes.

In any situation ensure that there is adequate space for ventilation around the heatsink.

Operation

Controls

Level switch

This sets the input sensitivity of the unit. The +4 position is intended for professional use and means that full

power is reached with an input level of +4dBm (balanced). The -10 position is intended for semi-professional or

domestic use and means that full power is reached with an input level of -10dBm (unbalanced).

HF Trim

This control allows the high frequency level to be adjusted. The control works from 3kHz upwards and has a range

of 5dB (see ﬁgure 1).

LF Trim

This control allows the low frequency level to be adjusted. The control works from 100 Hz downwards and has a

range of 5dB (see ﬁgure 1). This section uses a special equalizer design which eectively swaps bandwidth for

power. As you turn the LF trim level down the low frequency extension is improved.

The trim controls are intended to allow the user to make some adjustment of the speaker response to

accommodate personal tastes and variations in acoustic environment.

Indicators

There are two LED indicators on the front bae of the BM6A.

The right LED is the power/fault indicator. On switching the unit on this will shine red for about ten seconds and

then turn green to indicate normal operation. If for any reason the ampliﬁer protection circuitry is engaged the LED

will turn back to red.

The left LED is a “true-clip” indicator and lights if the low frequency ampliﬁer clips. It is acceptable to have this LED

light up occasionally, but avoid running your system with this LED on most of the time.

Running in

The drivers in your BM6A must be run in before optimum performance is achieved. Avoid using the system at high

levels for the ﬁrst 24 hours of operation. Full run-in is usually achieved after about one week of normal operation.

Protection

The BM6A has a comprehensive electronic protection system. Thermal overload or DC voltage on the outputs will

Operation 7

cause the system to engage. This will disconnect the drive units from the ampliﬁers and change the power LED to

its red/fault condition. In addition the HF ampliﬁer has an optical limiter in circuit which prevents excessive long

term power reaching the tweeter whilst allowing transients to pass uncompressed.

Troubleshooting

If the speaker stops working and the power LED turns red (fault condition) switch the mains power o and leave it

for a moment. If the unit fails to operate again when you switch back on the fault may be due to overheating,

switch o again and allow it to fully cool down before powering up. Ensure the heatsink is clear of obstruction and

has free air circulation around it. If however the fault condition persists the unit should be inspected by qualiﬁed

personnel.

If the speaker stops working and no LEDs are alight then the mains fuse on the back panel should be checked

and replaced if necessary. If this does not rectify the problem the unit should be inspected by qualiﬁed personnel.

Care

Components of the highest quality are used in the BM6A and should ensure a long trouble-free life. Here are a

few hints to help them on their way.

Avoid running the system into clipping or distortion. When an ampliﬁer clips it can send potentially damaging DC

components to the drive units. They may not fail at once but prolonged exposure to this will result in eventual

failure.

If you need to switch o or unplug equipment connected to the monitor, turn o the monitor ﬁrst. Large voltage

spikes are often generated when equipment is switched o which will be ampliﬁed to a potentially damaging level.

Do not touch the drive units. The tweeter especially uses a very ﬁne fabric diaphragm which is easily damaged.
