Practical information and tips for optimal use of your speaker system
For optimal performance and a long lifespan of your speaker, please pay attention to the following when
using your Devine speaker:
- This speaker is equipped with a CLIP limiter, which prevents damage to the speaker. This CLIP limiter will
activate at excessive volume levels and a red LED shows when the CLIP limiter is active. Prevent the
activation of the CLIP limiter system and the indicating LED. The CLIP limiter protects the system from
permanent damage, but is only effective at peak signals. Long term exposure causes distortion and power
overload, with possible permanent damage to your speaker system.
- When using an external mixer (such as a PA-mixer or DJ-mixer, make sure your master channel sends out
signals at 0dB maximum. This will provide optimal signal quality and with the volume control on the speaker
you are able to turn up the volume, just before the CLIP limiter LED will slightly flash. This way you are using
the speaker to its full potential with optimal sound quality.
- When using the internal equalizer system and adjusting the sound balance of your speaker, keep the
master volume on a medium, neutral level which is comfortable to your ears.
When you want to add extra bass, try to decrease the intensity of lower frequencies first. When you want to
add more high frequencies (for vocal and speech applications), try to decrease the low frequencies.
This way, the EQ system does not have to function as a pre-amplifier, thus providing optimal sound quality.
The EQ function features a 7-band system:
- The Treble and Bass knobs have a -12 to +12 range and operate in a 10 Hz and 100 Hz range.
- The 5-band EQ on the top right operates in frequencies 63 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 3.2 kHz and 12 kHz. These
also feature a -12 to +12 range, but are used with a miniature slider instead of knobs.
The Treble and Bass knobs are used for main applications, but it is possible to adjust the sound
characteristics of the speaker in detail when using the 5-band EQ on the top right. The combination of these
two systems provide an excellent frequency coverage, which grants you optimal control over the
performance of this speaker.
The EQ function is used on the overall main signal and is therefore not bound to any specific input.
- Do not switch the power on and off frequently as this reduces the lifespan of the speaker and its internal
components. The speaker can be used for a whole day without any cooling-down time, if sufficient cooling is
provided.
