SUB120 120 WATT 10" SUBWOOFER

The SUB120 can be connected to the DMS80’s by using the LINE OUTS located on the DMS80’s rear panel.
When using the DMS80’s LINE outputs you will utilize the SUB120 internal electronic crossover, which will allow
you to experiment and fine-tune your monitor system. Follow the diagram and instructions below to interface your
new subwoofer.

Make the connections between your mixer and your DMS80 monitor system as described in the DMS80’s
users manual and make sure that you turn your mixer all the way down.

*

Connect the RIGHT and LEFT LINE OUTPUTS located on the rear panel of the DMS80 to the RIGHT
and LEFT PREAMP INPUTS on the SUB120.

Turn the SUB120’s Volume all the way off, and set the SWEEP control to 100Hz.

Now run some audio, like music on a CD, through your mixer and raise the output to the DMS80 monitor
system to a comfortable listening level.

Now, slowly raise the SUB120’s LEVEL control and adjust the low frequency output to your taste. You
can experiment by listening to the difference when adjusting the crossover point with the SWEEP control.
Also, listen as you adjust the balance between the SUB120 and the DMS satellite speakers by changing
the SUB120’s LEVEL control. Once you find the balance you like, the SUB120 will track the satellites
when you raise or lower your mixer’s output.
