2Foreword
The TriSonus 10 dp is a loudspeaker box that has been specially designed for applications in com-
bination with large-format video displays, in application where very high sound quality in combina-
tion with a long throw is required. It features digital amplifier electronics with 280 Watt + 175 Watt
of power @ 4 ohms (AES) and DSP controller. Various pre-configured presets and volume settings
are available for selection.
The integrated DSP controller is based on the same operating principle as the stand-alone control-
lers HDLM 8 and DSP 2.6 and contains additional features. A mere 0.8 ms latency (from analogue
input to output) is achieved through the use of a 96 kHz sample rate. The excellent signal to noise
ratio is a further feature of the DSP controller. Electronic simulation of a transformer balanced input
provides additional protection against hum and buzz caused for example by external interference.
High grade electronic components from the industrial sector and first-class circuit design result in a
robust device with excellent audio characteristics and minimize disruptive noise. In addition to the
analog audio transmission via a conventional LF line, there is also the option of connecting to a
digital audio and control network.
The default state of the integrated DSP controller is the standard configuration as described in this
manual. Custom presets can be installed by the user, but must be programmed with the LPI (Loud-
speaker Programming Interface) by the manufacturer. The preset file is a custom audio file which is
simply played into the audio input of the controller. In this manner, individual configurations can be
created, for instance to accommodate the specific requirements of an installation project. Further-
more, should you ever be unsure as to the integrity of the DSP configuration of your controller, you
can obtain a fresh default file from SEEBURG acoustic line and re-install the original factory pre-
sets yourself. Efficient and intelligent limiter functions provide optimal protection without sacrificing
any of the potential of the system.

3Safety instructions
Acoustic
Even a low input level can result in a sound pressure level at the
loudspeaker which can be damaging to your hearing. Do not remain
in close proximity to the loudspeaker when it is being operated. Use
hearing protection. Observe all relevant Health and Safety and Envi-
ronmental Protection regulations.
Mechanical
Movable parts and falling objects during installation and de-rigging
can cause serious injury. Observe at all times all relevant Health and
Safety regulations and regulations on the installation and operation of
PA systems.
Magnetic und electrical
Loudspeakers generate a magnetic field even without a source of
power connected. This can damage or destroy magnetic storage
devices. The PowerCon loop-through connector is under power when
the device is in operation. Observe all relevant safety regulations at
all times.
General safety precautions
The installation and de-rigging of this equipment should only be car-
ried out by appropriately qualified and experienced personnel, and
according to all relevant safety regulations. Find out about the appli-
cable regulations in the country you work in and comply with the re-
spective regulations.
Do not operate the loudspeaker if you have any doubts about the
safety of doing so, or if the loudspeaker shows any signs of faulty
operation. There are no user serviceable parts inside the device. For
repairs, contact your dealer or a qualified service technician.
The loudspeaker is a class 1 device requiring a 230 V / 50 Hz power
connection with earth contact.

If the loudspeaker is connected to a power source in which the volt-
age is too high, a protective mechanism is triggered which reliably
safeguards the amplifier module and DSP. Once triggered, the pro-
tection must be renewed by a qualified service technician.
Never open the housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not expose the loudspeaker to rain, and avoid operating in envi-
ronments below -5° C or above 40° C. Be aware of the possibility of
condensation forming inside the housing due to rapid changes in
temperature. Allow the loudspeaker to adjust to ambient temperature
before operation. Leave the device switched on if operating in unfa-
vorable conditions.
To prevent overheating, do not operate the loudspeaker in the direct
vicinity of strong heat sources, and avoid direct sunlight. After long
periods of operation, the loudspeaker, particularly metallic compo-
nents such as the pole mount and the connector panel, can reach
temperatures exceeding 40° C.

4.2 Connectors
XLR socket (1)
The TriSonus 10 dp should be connected with a standard symmetrically wired XLR cable if the
audio transmission is analogue. To connect the input signal to further devices, use the male XLR
Loop thru connector. To obtain full power performance from the system, the signal source should
be able to provide a minimum of 6 dBu distortion free output voltage.
RJ45 socket (2)
This socket is used to integrate the TriSonus 10 dp into an existing digital audio and control net-
work. Digital audio signals (AES67 standard) can optionally be processed by the TriSonus 10 dp.
This function is not available in the condition as supplied to the customer and can only be used
after installing a firmware upgrade.
PowerCon blue (3)
Power supply input voltage 110-230 VAC. This connector provides the function of an on-off switch.
After powering on (turn the connector to the right until it locks), the systems starts up and is ready
for use after approximately 3 seconds. Avoid repeatedly switching the system on and off, particular-
ly when it is operating.
The nominal power consumption of the TriSonus 10 dp under full
power is 0.2 A (measured with pink noise, Crest Factor 8). Transient
peaks can, however, cause much higher momentary power drain.
Observe carefully the nominal power consumption when connecting
the loudspeaker(s) to the power source, and observe carefully the
cut-off current of the safety circuit breakers. We recommend using the
loudspeaker on power circuits with circuit breakers with C characteris-
tic.

5.4.1 Preset Bank 1 –Free-Standing (Default Settings)
This Preset Bank is to be selected when the TriSonus 10 dp is located free-standing in the room or
is mounted directly next to a video display and there are no adjacent, acoustically hard reflection
surfaces.
Flat:
Preset for single application without any additional subwoofer.
HP:
Flat preset with a higher cut-off frequency for the high-pass filter for
combination with a subwoofer. The higher cut-off frequency allows a
higher maximum sound pressure level to be achieved.
Low-Boost:
Based on the preset Flat with a low-frequency boost. This setting is
useful in full-range applications in which strong bass reproduction is
required, but a subwoofer cannot be used. The achievable low-
frequency level is, however, limited.
Soft Mode:
Additional reduction at the presence frequency range. The Soft Mode
operates independently of which of the three presets is selected and
is recommended for higher listening volumes.

5.5 Reprogramming of dp-speakers with preset audio files
By default, the built-in DSP controller is in a default configuration state that conforms to the descrip-
tion in the User Manual. The installation of special presets on the DSP controller can be done by
the user himself, since only a special preset audio file must be loaded. The programming of these
audio files via the LPI (Loudspeaker Programming Interface) can only be done by the manufactur-
er.
The preset is getting installed on the DSP by playing the preset audio file in the XLR input. This can
be done in different ways (MP3 player, smart phone, PC, CD player, ...). Installation via PC is done
as follows:
1. Use a mini-jack-XLR (stereo) cable to connect the headphone output to the XLR input of
the self-powered box. Use only one of the XLR connectors.
2. Mute the box by pressing the Set button in Status Mode. The Mute LED lights up. The DSP
controller can only receive data in the muted state.
3. Make sure your computer's volume is set to 100%.
4. Load the ".wav" file received from SEEBURG acoustic line into a music player.
5. Press the play button.
6. After a successful programming operation, the Mute LED turns off.
It is very important to ensure that the preset audio file is played in
single mode. Other music files in the playlist or on the data storage
medium will otherwise be played at full volume.
5.6 Locking the buttons
Press and hold the Set and Mode buttons simultaneously for more
than 3 seconds to lock the controls of the system. Repeat the action
to unlock the system.
