Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!
The SYA 12 is a versatile active speaker. It is equipped with one 1” compression driver (1.35” voice coil), and one 12”
woofer (2.5” voice coil). The multiple input pattern allows an easy and versatile use. For example the user can
connect a dynamic microphone (CH1), an independent source from a mixer (CH2), a Bluetooth MP3 reader (CH3),
controlling each volume level. The user can enhance lower and upper frequencies with the convenient DSP preset
function. A balanced link output allows the audio connection to a second loudspeaker, choosing among “Mix” or
“Line” output type.

level.
c) If needed, enable with the switch (7) the Bluetooth
receiver. Pair it with a visible device (ex. a MP3 reader).
d) If you need to link SYA 12 to another one, please use
a cable with XLR connectors (not supplied). Connect
the Link output (9) of the first, to the balanced Input
(1) of the second one. In the second loudspeaker,
please check that Selector (2) is set on “Line” position
and that Volume (3) is set to the correct value.

between “Playback”, ”Flat”, Bass Boost” or “Wedge”
configuration.
e) Plug properly the mains VDE input cable (supplied)
in the related input (12). Check that the audio source is
set on the minimum level. Then switch the POWER
