User manual DEI 1100D

[. . . ] Please read the owner's manual carefully before you install the amplifier. Disconnect the battery ground terminal prior to making any electrical connections. Check for any hazards or obstructions such as gas tanks, fuel or brake lines, and wiring harnesses before mounting the amplifiers. Pick a mounting location that will provide adequate access and ventilation and protect the amplifier from heat, moisture, and dirt. [. . . ] The terminals are paralleled internally, but two sets are provided for convenience in connecting multiple subwoofers. FIGURE 1--AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS 4 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc AMPLIFIER CONTROLS Refer to Figure 2 for details. RCA INPUT JACKS - accepts linelevel outputs from head units or signal sources at voltages from 200 mV to 8 volts. RCA INVERT IN JACK - use this jack to accept signal from another 600d/1100d when operating in synced slave mode. This jack also supplies an in-phase output when the unit is set to "Master". RCA INVERT OUT JACK - use this jack to send an inverted phase signal to another 600d/1100d operating in synced slave mode. MASTER/SLAVE INVERT SWITCH selects operating mode for synced operation. GAIN ADJUSTMENT - controls the gain (input sensitivity) of the amplifier. SUBSONIC FILTER - Switchable variable subsonic filter prevents damage to subwoofers in vented and free-air applications. CROSSOVER FREQUENCY - controls the cutoff frequency of the built-in low-pass crossover. OUTPUT PHASE INVERT SWITCH controls the output phase of the amplifier. REMOTE SUB LEVEL - controls gains of the amplifier. FIGURE 2--AMPLIFIER CONTROLS © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc 5 SPEAKER WIRING DIAGRAMS Single subwoofer connection Speaker nominal impedance must be at least 1 ohm. Two subwoofer connection Parallel speaker nominal impedance must be at least 1 ohm. Amplifier parallels the speaker terminals internally. 6 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT Your Directed Audio power amplifier needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. Refer to the additional instructions on pages - for gain and crossover settings in external synced mode. · Because the 600d/1100d are only suited for subwoofer applications, the low-pass crossover is active at all times. The crossover point is adjustable to allow more precise system operation. · Try and keep the setting low enough to prevent image smearing (you should not be able to hear male voices from the subwoofer) but not so low as to create a gap between the subwoofer and the mid-bass/midrange speakers. It will be to your advantage to spend some extra time with this adjustment, listening to familiar music or system set-up discs to achieve the kind of musical reproduction that you prefer. · The gain adjustment allows you to set proper signal match for clean, quiet amplifier operation. With the gain adjustment on the amplifier in the middle of its rotation, bring up the volume on your head unit to the 3/4 volume setting or until you start to hear distortion or clipping. If you hear distortion before you reach the 3/4 volume setting of your head unit, reduce the gain setting on the amplifier and start to raise the head unit volume again. When you can listen to the music at or slightly above 3/4 on your head unit without audible distortion, slowly raise the gain of the amplifier until distortion is heard, then back off the gain until the distortion is not audible. This setting will allow you to reach full output with all but the quietest of source material, while avoiding excessive noise in the system.
