Konfigurazioa eta Instalazioa
Instalazio egokia ezinbestekoa da errendimendu eta segurtasun optimoa lortzeko. Gomendagarria da instalazioa profesional kualifikatu batek egitea.
Muntaketa
- Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the compression driver (7 pounds).
- Refer to the product dimensions (6"D x 6"W x 7.75"H) and throat diameter (2") to prepare the mounting hole.
- Secure the compression driver using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes on the horn.
Kableatua
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the compression driver to the positive output of your ampbiziagoa.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the compression driver to the negative output of your ampbiziagoa.
- Ziurtatu konexio guztiak ondo isolatuta daudela eta zirkuitulaburrak saihesteko.
- It is recommended to use a high-pass filter (HPF) to protect the driver from low frequencies. A crossover that cuts frequencies below 800Hz is ideal for this unit.

Funtzionamendu-argibideak
The DS18 PRO-DKH1 is designed to reproduce high frequencies with clarity and power. Follow these guidelines for optimal operation:
- Ziurtatu zure amplifier is properly matched to the 8 Ohm impedance of the driver.
- Avoid exceeding the recommended RMS power of 600W to prevent damage.
- Use a high-pass filter (HPF) to prevent low-frequency signals from reaching the driver, which can cause distortion and damage.
- Gradually increase volume levels to prevent sudden peaks that could harm the driver or your hearing.
Mantentzea
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your compression driver.
- Garbiketa: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the horn and driver body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Ikuskapena: Aldian-aldian egiaztatu kableatu guztien konexioak estutasuna eta higadura edo korrosio zantzurik dagoen egiaztatzeko.
- Ingurumena: Keep the driver in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Arazoak konpontzea
If you experience issues with your DS18 PRO-DKH1, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Arazoa | Kausa posiblea | Irtenbidea |
|---|---|---|
| Soinurik ez | Loose wiring, incorrect connections, amplifier off, damaged voice coil. | Check all wiring, ensure correct polarity, verify amplifier power, inspect voice coil for damage. |
| Soinu distortsionatua | Overpowering, improper crossover settings, damaged diaphragm. | Murriztu amplifier gain, verify HPF settings, inspect diaphragm for tears or creases. |
| Irteera baxua | Incorrect impedance matching, low amplifier power, phase issues. | Ziurtatu amplifier matches 8 Ohm impedance, check amplifier output, verify speaker phase. |
If problems persist, contact DS18 customer support or a qualified audio technician.
