Configuració i instal·lació
Una instal·lació correcta és crucial per a un rendiment i una seguretat òptims. Es recomana que la instal·lació la realitzi un professional qualificat.
Muntatge
- Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the compression driver (7 pounds).
- Refer to the product dimensions (6"D x 6"W x 7.75"H) and throat diameter (2") to prepare the mounting hole.
- Secure the compression driver using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes on the horn.
Cablejat
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the compression driver to the positive output of your ampmés viu.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the compression driver to the negative output of your ampmés viu.
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ben fixades i degudament aïllades per evitar curtcircuits.
- It is recommended to use a high-pass filter (HPF) to protect the driver from low frequencies. A crossover that cuts frequencies below 800Hz is ideal for this unit.

Instruccions de funcionament
The DS18 PRO-DKH1 is designed to reproduce high frequencies with clarity and power. Follow these guidelines for optimal operation:
- Assegureu-vos el vostre amplifier is properly matched to the 8 Ohm impedance of the driver.
- Avoid exceeding the recommended RMS power of 600W to prevent damage.
- Use a high-pass filter (HPF) to prevent low-frequency signals from reaching the driver, which can cause distortion and damage.
- Gradually increase volume levels to prevent sudden peaks that could harm the driver or your hearing.
Manteniment
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your compression driver.
- Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the horn and driver body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Inspecció: Comproveu periòdicament totes les connexions del cablejat per comprovar si estan ben ajustades i si hi ha signes de desgast o corrosió.
- Medi ambient: Keep the driver in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Resolució de problemes
If you experience issues with your DS18 PRO-DKH1, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Sense so | Loose wiring, incorrect connections, amplifier off, damaged voice coil. | Check all wiring, ensure correct polarity, verify amplifier power, inspect voice coil for damage. |
| So distorsionat | Overpowering, improper crossover settings, damaged diaphragm. | Reduir amplifier gain, verify HPF settings, inspect diaphragm for tears or creases. |
| Sortida baixa | Incorrect impedance matching, low amplifier power, phase issues. | Assegureu-vos amplifier matches 8 Ohm impedance, check amplifier output, verify speaker phase. |
If problems persist, contact DS18 customer support or a qualified audio technician.
