The DS 8.0 is a state-of-the-art Class D amplifier module for active subwoofer use. Accurate rendition of
the low bass range is a substantial component of a high-quality music reproduction. For an impressive
bass rendition large loudspeakers are unfortunately inevitable. If you prefer small loudspeakers for optical
reasons, you can use the DS8.0 to extend your bass rendition. The crossover frequency is adjustable
steplessly between 50Hz and 150Hz. Due to this large range of control a problem-free connection is
possible to different subwoofer and other loudspeaker systems. Additionally this active system has a low
bass rise. An active 4th order subsonic filter with Butterworth characteristic protects the loudspeaker
against mechanical overloading, since the ultralow portion of the fed signal would cause extreme
diaphragm deflections.
Connections
Be sure to disconnect the DS8.0 from the mains before proceeding!
Connect the loudspeaker, wired with wire of sufficient cross-section (2.5mm
2
or 13AWG), to the
amplifier board as shown in the picture above. Use suitable crimp connectors and crimp them with a
suitable crimp tool. Check the voltage selector on the front panel and make sure the voltage is set
according the mains voltage used in your country.
