INTRODUCTION
The versatile ADP-26 is part of the ADP Self powered, DSP integrated Series. It has been designed to offer the
utmost sound reinforcement reliability, incorporating the latest acoustical and electronical technology and delivering
incredible, dynamic sound.
The ADP-26 is an extremelly high power, two way full range cabinet providing exceptional performance. Each cabinet
has a DSP integrated for system protection and optimization. This DSP applies linear phase (FIR) and classic crossovers.
Other features include temperature sensor, Ethernet options and many more.
The compact ADP-26 has an unbeatable power to size ratio, there is no need for external amplication racks, is very
light weight and is the ideal solution for portable or xed sound reinforcement. A variety of rigging options make the
ADP-26 easy to set-up in minimal time. To extend the low frequency response, the ADP-18S subwoofer cabinet can
be used.
To facilitate, correct and reliable use of the powered cabinet ADP-26 we have designed this instruction manual. Please
read the manual carefully before proceeding to install the system.
Please observe the technical data carefully and do not ignore the instructions included within this manual.

Before starting to use this device, please read this instruction manual carefully.
Keep these instructions in the place where the equipment will be used and with easy access to them.
• Electrical appliance
The exclamation mark within a triangle identies the presence of electricity. Use the system carefully without wet
hands or feet. Avoid installing the speaker in wet or excesivelly humid places. Do not place material that contains
liquid on or near the unit. Avoid dripping or splashing water or any liquid over the unit. Regularly check the condition
of the cables and make sure these are not being walked on or pinched. Connect the speaker to bipolar, earthed
mains. The mains plug must be connected to the appropriate protection (fuse or breaker). Connection to any other
type of mains could result in an electrical shock and violate local electrical codes.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE AC POWER CONNECTORS UNDER LOAD.
•Heavy equipment
Apply back protection when using the system. Avoid loading and unloading at heights.
•Electrical shock risk
The diagonal mark within a triangle identies the presence of dangerous voltage.
Do not open or handle the interior of the box. These parts are not to be adjusted by the user. For maintenance and/
or repair please go to an authorized service centre.In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from
AC before plug in or unplugging Audio signal cables. Reconnect to AC only if all signal connections are made and
secured. Never manipulate the ground type plug provided.
The AC mains plugs should always remain accessible for operation.
Unplug the loudspeaker during storms or when it’s being used for a long time.
•Hearing damage risk
These systems can reproduce large quantities of sound pressure which can damage hearing. Take precautions if
you are going to be near them for extended amounts of time and do not get too close.
•Hanging / Flying
Do not hang the cabinets from the handles or from any other part other than the designated hanging point. When
ying this system please observe the technical and “Rainbow” software data carefully. Never exceed the maximum
safe working loads or ignore the instructions included within this manual. Use Only ying accessories provided by
Lynx Pro Audio S.L. Rigging must be always carried out by professionals.
•Delicate Material
Please ensure no foreign object or water enters the speaker. Only clean the unit with dry cloths. Do not use solvents.
•Overheating / Fire risk
To reduce the risk of the speaker over heating, avoid direct contact with sunlight. Avoid placing the unit close to heat
inducing objects such as radiators. Do not cover the equipment in use and do not block any ventilation openings.
Do not put naked ame, such as lighted candles, close or on top of the unit.

From the buttons below the display on the cabinet’s back panel you are able to congure the Basic adjustment
functions of the internal DSP. Depending on the model, you can nd the following congurations:
CONFIGURING THE DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
Note:
You must apply the desired conguration in each one cabinet. This is done via the buttons located on the
back panel of the cabinet and requires electrical power to work.
FIR FILTERS
Finite Impulse Response (FIR) lters are used in the signal processing of the ADP-215 cabinet. FIR is a type of
digital lter with linear phase characteristics. This frees system designers from the constraints of phase
anomalies associated with analogue lters or their digital versions (IIR, Innite Impulse Response). When
properly used, FIR ltering can audibly improve a system’s impulse response and reduce crossover interference.

CONFIGURATION PANEL
On the back panel you will see 3 buttons and an information screen, on which you can read the established
parameters and information such as amplication module temperature, input signal level and name of the
current preset (Fig1).
If changes are not made the display will automatically dim to save energy and avoid unnecessary light in
situations where light is not wanted. To re-activate the light simply press the OK button.

SELECT THE INPUT: DIGITAL OR ANALOG
To change the preset conguration just press the up button (Fig2(1)) and down button (Fig2(2)) until you see the
title and preset number required.
Once found, press OK (Fig2(3)) until the progress bar nishes (Fig3). The display will indicate “Loading DSP”
(Fig4).

ONLINE CONTROL SYSTEM
• Who is it for?
Users of Self powered DSP incorporated Lynx Pro Audio Cabinets where the user has requested the cabinets
be supplied with the Ethernet Module kit.
• What is it for?
Obtain detailed information of cabinet behaviour and monitor the cabinet/s in real time. You can change the
preset, gain, mute, polarity and phase. You can also activate the air absorption compensation and select the
«SOLO» mode.
• How does it work?
Via Ethernet (cable or wireless). Once installed, the O.C.S. software automatically detects all the cabinets
connected to the network and displays them in the O.C.S. window on the users PC.
• What does it show?
As well as displaying the cabinet model and IP address the O.C.S will be monitoring in real time and the user
will be able to view RMS levels, Input clip, power module temperature, compression levels, air absorption
compensation and cabinet angulation.

RAINBOW 3D Acoustic Prediction Software
Lynx Pro Audio’s R&D department is working on Rainbow 3D, a new acoustic simulation software with dynamic
3D features. With a sophisticated design, Rainbow 3D stands out for its speed, being able to provide a simulation
in just a few seconds. It also provides algorithms for beam steering and optimizing the listening area.
• Designed from scratch by professionals
Rainbow 3D has been programmed from scratch by Lynx Pro Audio engineers, using new programming procedures
that achieve an effective simulation with really low calculation time.
• Multiple listening zones
The program can simulate all Lynx Pro Audio’s acoustic enclosures located in a 3D space, including the classic
side, top and front views. It can also dene multiple listening zones and allows offset positioning and symmetry.
Blueprint images, textures and PNG format pictures can be imported.
• Unlimited sound sources
Allows the acoustic simulation for an unlimited number of sound sources and audio systems. You can place as
many systems (subwoofers, line arrays, columns and individual boxes) as you desire. Also, the line arrays can be
placed in stack or own conguration.
• Beam steering
Rainbow 3D has the ability to add DSP processing to the simulation and uses algorithms to control the directivity
(beam steering) in columns, without the need to tilt them physically, being able to divide the column into several
beams that point to different zones.
• Accurate optimization thanks to FIR lters
Optimized algorithms are used in the listening area to improve the sound coverage and the frequency response. This
feature can be executed in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the export of FIR coefcients can be performed with
the optimization for later loading in the DSP via Ethernet or a USB device. In the near future direct communication
with Lynx Pro Audio and OCS will be available.
• Multiple measures and tools
Likewise, the R&D department is developing multiple measurement and analysis tools for the calculated data. For
example, the sound pressure curves (SPL) in the listening areas and the capture of virtual measurements that show
the frequency response in the points of location indicated and added. Among other tools you will nd autosplay
and a wizard to set up different subwoofer arragements.
