5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
Once installed, follow these steps to operate your DS18 PRO-X10M loudspeaker:
- Konekte ak Amplifier: Ensure the speaker is correctly wired to a compatible amplifier.
- Pouvwa sou: Turn on your audio system and amplifier.
- Initial Volume Setting: Kòmanse ak la amplifier's gain and head unit volume at their lowest settings.
- Ajiste pwogrè: Piti piti ogmante a amplifier's gain until the desired volume is achieved without distortion. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can damage the speaker.
- Anviwònman kwazman: 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.
- Peryòd enskripsyon: 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.
