the

 

DH-18`s

 

mode

 

of

 

operation

 

The

 

DH-18

 

subwoofer

 

can

 

be

 

set

 

to

 

different

 

operating

 

modes

 

by

 

moving

 

the

 

lockable

 

Changing

 

Lid.

 

Depending

 

on

 

the

 

position

 

of

 

the

 

Changing

 

Lid,

 

the

 

subwoofer

 

can

 

be

 

operated

 

in

 

S-Mode

 

or

 

D-Mode.

 

The

 

different

 

modes

 

influence

 

the

 

low

 

corner

 

frequency,

 

the

 

radiation

 

pattern

 

and

 

the

 

maximum

 

SPL

 

capability

 

of

 

the

 

subwoofer.

Modes

 

The DH-18 subwoofer provides two different modes to choose from. 

• D-Mode

 

In D-Mode, the DH-18 provides 2dB more sensitivity and an extra amount of rear attenuation. At the same time, the low 
corner frequency for this mode is 33Hz. 

• S-Mode

 

In S-Mode, the DH-18 provides more very low frequency extension down to 28Hz. At the same time, the subwoofer in this 
mode has 2dB less sensitivity and less rear attenuation.
