2.4 クロスオーバー設定
A passive or active crossover is essential to protect the compression driver from low frequencies that can cause damage. Refer to your system's amplifier or crossover manual for specific settings.
- Set the high-pass filter (HPF) for the driver channel to at least 1.5 kHz (1500 Hz) with a slope of 12dB/octave or higher.
- Adjust the crossover point based on your specific system and listening preferences, ensuring the driver is not subjected to frequencies below its recommended range.
3. 操作手順
3.1 初期電源投入
After installation, perform a low-volume test to confirm proper functionality.
- Turn on your audio system with the volume set to minimum.
- Gradually increase the volume to a low listening level.
- Listen for clear, undistorted sound from the PRO-DR2 driver.
3.2 Gain and Level Adjustment
適切なゲインtaging is crucial to prevent distortion and maximize sound quality.
- 設定する amplifier gain for the driver channel according to the amplifier's instructions, typically by playing a test tone and adjusting until the clipping indicator just begins to flash, then backing off slightly.
- Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage to the driver.
3.3 Avoiding Distortion
Distortion is a primary cause of driver failure. Always operate your system within its clean power limits.
- If you hear any harsh, crackling, or fuzzy sounds, immediately reduce the volume.
- あなたの ampライファイアはクリッピングされません。
- Verify that your crossover settings are correct and protecting the driver from low frequencies.
4. メンテナンス
The DS18 PRO-DR2 driver requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
4.1 クリーニング
- Periodically wipe the exterior of the driver with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- 仕上げや内部コンポーネントを損傷する恐れがあるため、刺激の強い化学薬品、溶剤、研磨剤入りの洗剤は使用しないでください。
- Avoid getting moisture into the driver's voice coil or terminals.
4.2 検査
- すべての配線接続が安全で腐食がないことを定期的に確認してください。
- Inspect the mounting points for any signs of loosening or damage.
- Listen for any unusual noises during operation that might indicate a problem.
4.3 ストレージ
If storing the driver for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use original packaging if available to protect it from physical damage.
