Dynaudio Sub 300/500
Connecting multiple subwoofers
1. From the processor or receiver's subwoofer output (often marked as “subwoofer
out”, “Sub out” or “LFE”), connect a mono RCA-to-RCA or XLR-to-XLR cable to the
INPUT
of the first subwoofer in the daisy chain. This is now the Master subwoofer.
2. Set the Master subwoofer's
Input Function
switch to the
Master
position.
3. From the Master subwoofer's
Processed Out To Slave
output, connect a mono
RCA-to-RCA or XLR-to-XLR cable to the next subwoofer's (Slave)
INPUT
.
4. Set the Slave subwoofer's
Input Function
switch to the
Slave
position.
5. Any subsequent Slave subwoofers can be connected in a daisy chain style, going
from the
Processed Out To Slave
output to the next Slave subwoofer's
INPUT
.

After all connections are made, connect the supplied mains leads to the
subwoofer's IEC power sockets and a mains outlet.
Note
•
The
Input Function
switch of each subwoofer operated as a Slave must be set to
the
Slave
position.
•
When using multiple subwoofers in a Master-Slave setup, it is recommended that
the subwoofers are all the same model.
•
If you wish to use multiple subwoofers with full individual control, set the
Input
Function
switch for all to the
Master
position. From the Amplifier, processor or
receiver's subwoofer output, use a Y-connector.
Connecting using the XLR sockets
NOTICE
•
DO NOT use XLR and RCA connections in parallel for the same connection.
A balanced signal connection (XLR sockets) provides a connection that is far less
susceptible to cable signal interference compared to an unbalanced connection (RCA
connection). It is for this reason that XLR and balanced connections are used almost
exclusively in critical and professional installations.
Provided your processor or receiver has a XLR symmetric or balanced output for
subwoofer you should consider using the XLR input on the Dynaudio subwoofer. In a
setup with multiple subwoofers you can use the XLR connections between the Master
and Slave subwoofers, even if the connection between the processor or receiver has
been made using the RCA connectors.
Configuring and making connections using XLR is done in the same way as using the
RCA connectors. Please refer to “Connecting a single subwoofer” on page 7 and
“Connecting multiple subwoofers” on page 8.
Dynaudio follows the most usual convention for termination of XLR sockets:
•
Pin 1 = ground
•
Pin 2 =
•
Pin 3 = signal –
Note
•
Always ensure that all connections are correct: It may be that the source equipment
follows a different way of terminating the XLR sockets or it may be that the XLR
connection cables themselves do not comply. When in doubt, consult your dealer.
