SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The LX series subwoofers from D.A.S. Audio are systems which use twin LXN long excursion loudspeakers incorporating light weight neodymium magnet assemblies and the efficient TAF (Total Air Flow) heat evacuation scheme. The units are ideal for applications requiring high level sub-bass extension in mid to large-scale outdoor/indoor events in arenas, stadiums or theaters. The LX enclosures are constructed of 18 mm birch plywood finished with the durable Iso-Flex black paint.

Preliminary This product should only be used in Residential environments, Commercial and light industrial environments, Urban outdoor environments or Controlled EMC environment and the rural outdoors environment, in accordance with standard EN55103-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. Part 2: Immunity.) The rain protector provided by DAS is designed to protect the unit from splashes.

Rain protector Electronic devices can be damaged when exposed to water or moisture. The LX amplifiers must be protected when installed outdoors. A rain protector is supplied with each self powered LX unit. The rain protector is specially designed to withstand soft rain and other meteorological conditions for short periods of time. In the case of heavy rains, storms or permanent outdoor installations the sound system must be protected with additional elements.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL LED does not light up. CAUSE SOLUTION 1 – The signal source is sending no signal. 2 – Defective cable. 3 - The amplifier has overheated. Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED never lights up. The signal source does not have a hot enough output. If using a mixer, use the balanced output if available. Use a professional mixer with a hotter output. Sound is distorted. The LIMIT LED is not on, or only lights up occasionally.
RIGGING SYSTEM Warning 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 the 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.
A) AX-LX212, AX-LX215 & AX-AERO50 These rigging structures are comprised of a steel central bar and two detachable side panels that are fixed using high resistance quick release safety pins. LX-212R LX-215R & LX-218CR AX-LX212 Guías de LX series LX series Guides To facilitate the correct positioning of the guides in the corresponding angle hole of the upper unit (using the quick release safety pins), a sticker indicates the splay angle obtained whether stacked or flown.

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.
