Description of the device Features The K-18BA is a 18-inch high output processor controlled active subwoofer system designed at the DAP audio R&D department in the Netherlands. It can be used with other active fullrange-systems like the Kand P-active series to achieve more output and it features a new designed high precision 18-inch band pass cabinet which results in a relative small housing with "BIG" sound combined with the newest amplifier technology.

Set Up and Operation Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa. Linking Satellites / Subwoofers Connect the cables coming from the mixer to the balanced INPUT sockets of the K-18BA. Depending on the mixer’s output sockets use either a jack or XLR cable. Link the units as shown in figure 4 on page 8.
Phase switch (16) This switch allows you to reverse the phase of the subwoofer if necessary. IEC power inlet and fuse (17) This connector is meant for the connection of the supplied main cord. Connect one end of the power cord to the connector, the other end to the mains, and then turn on the power switch (52) to operate the unit. Note: Please make sure that the supply voltage matches the operation voltage before connecting the unit to mains. Replace the fuse only with a fuse of same specification (T8A).
Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
Compensation of interference with balanced connections Maintenance The DAP Audio K-18BA requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the connectors with a damp cloth. Make sure connectors are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
