ON / OFF A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the selfpowered unit. If you have several units, it is recommended that you switch them on sequentially one at a time.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL LED does not light up. SOLUTION 1 – The signal source is sending no signal. 2 – Defective cable. 3 - The amplifier has overheated. 1 – Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the UNIT. 2 – Check that the cable from the sound source to the UNIT is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective. 3 - Allow the unit to cool down for some minutes and it will function again.
RIGGING Warnings This manual contains needed information for flying D.A.S. Audio line array systems, description of the elements and safety precautions. To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the warnings and advice given. The goal is to allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown.
Flying with eyebolts The Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit. Then choose the slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, the back bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical orientation.
Mounting AXU-AC8 (only for Action8A) Introduction The AXU series are designed for enclosures Action-8, Action-8A, Action-8-115 and different versions. Safety Precautions Wall plugs provided are to be used in brick walls only. For other wall materials, source the suitable wall plug before use. D.A.S. Audio is not responsible for use other than the recommended or whether it be the result of insufficient strength of the support structure.
APPENDIX: Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono.
