Note 1:
Acoustical specifications are
for the minimum configuration
of two DS-2 cabinets, and are
measured on axis at 2 meters
from 1/R image (located at cabi-
net rear).
Note 2:
Half-space conditions, pink
noise input, in third-
octave bands.
Note 3:
Loudspeaker driven with “A”-
weighted noise (peak-to-RMS
ratio
≈
12 dB), with amplifier
rated at 600 W/channel at
4␣ohms. The DS-2 will accom-
modate amplifiers capable of
peak output levels up to
±
140␣Vpk.
Note 4:
Loudspeaker driven at 2 vrms
(1 watt @ 4 ohms).
Note 5:
ISO™ Input: Pins 1, 2 and 3
are transformer-isolated, and
shell is connected to chassis/
AC earth ground. Pin 3 positive
for positive pressure output.
Note 6:
“A”-weighted, unbalanced.
Note 7:
“A”-weighted noise floor to
maximum output.
