5. Instruccions de funcionament
Once installed, follow these steps to operate your DS18 PRO-X10M loudspeaker:
- Connecta't a Ampmés viu: Ensure the speaker is correctly wired to a compatible ampmés viu.
- Encès: Turn on your audio system and ampmés viu.
- Configuració inicial del volum: Comença amb el amplifier's gain and head unit volume at their lowest settings.
- Ajust de guany: Augmentar gradualment el amplifier's gain until the desired volume is achieved without distortion. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can damage the speaker.
- Configuració de crossover: For optimal performance and protection, use a high-pass filter (HPF) on your amplifier or head unit. A recommended starting point for the HPF is around 120-150Hz, with a slope of 12dB or 24dB per octave, to prevent low frequencies from reaching the midrange speaker.
- Període d'entrada: Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of moderate listening before operating at full power. This allows the speaker's suspension to loosen and perform optimally.
6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance helps preserve the performance and appearance of your loudspeaker.
- Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the speaker cone and surround. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspecció: Periodically check speaker terminals and wiring for secure connections and signs of corrosion or damage.
- Protecció del medi ambient: If installed in a vehicle, ensure the speaker is protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
