User manual DLS B5A

[. . . ] If you want an improved sound reinforce with a baffle of MDF-board or similar. An installation high up on the door side is to be prefered. An alternative installation is in so called kick panels down on each side of the floor with the speakers facing up- and inwards towards the listener. For two- or three way speaker systems with separate tweeter an installation of the tweeter close to the bass/ mid element is to be prefered. [. . . ] The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter. TWO/THREE-WAY SYSTEMS C4, C5A, C6A & C36 The 2-way systems have a separate tweeter. The filters are separate lowpass and highpass in small plastic boxes with selectable tweeter level in three steps inside. C36 is a 3-way system with a filter box where you can connect a woofer, a midrange speaker and a tweeter. The tweeter level can be adjusted in three steps inside the filter box. On next page you can see how to connect the filter. The C5 and C6 bass/mid speaker driver uses the new DLS EFR technology for improved sound quality. The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.

RUNNING-IN PERIOD Allow the speakers to play for at least 15-20 hours. After this time the performance is correct. SPEAKER PHASING To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you can check this by using a 1, 5 Volt battery. Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus, and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker minus. If the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone should move outwards on both right and left channel. This check must be made on the cables going from the speakers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier. CONNECTION OF SPEAKERS For speakers with integrated filters you just connect like this. Make sure the polarity is correct for both left and right side. + + - Car stereo or amplifier FILTER/CROSSOVER INSTALLATIONS Filter installation and connection of coaxial speakers 424, 425, 426 and 457 Speaker connection and tweeter level select: Use the red, blue and black cables to connect between the filter box and speaker terminal.

[. . . ] Now the tweeter can be mounted in two different angles. Attach to the surface with the two screws or double adhesive tape. Angled mounting: Put the cable through the hole in the rear end of the angled cup. The tweeter is attached to the cup by pressing them together. [. . . ]
