1 ysales GUIDE: DXR Ac.ve Ludspeakers DXS Ac.ve Subwfers THE FACTS: DXR Mdels, Pwer Ra.ngs and Frequency Ranges: Full Range: 4 Mdels (8, 10, 12, and 15 inch) Subwfer: 2 Mdels (12 and 15 inch) Pricing (Street): DXR8: $ DXR10: $ DXR12: $ DXR15: $ DXS12: $ DXS15: $ FEATURE: Prduct Develpment with Yamaha and Nex EvaluaBn sessins dne against every imaginable acbve speaker at a cncert hall in Japan and an utdr resrt EvaluaBn sessins by NEXO in France. NEXO: Whlly wned strategic business unit f Yamaha that is recgnized as a wrld leading high- end ludspeaker manufacturer BENEFIT: DXR and DXS received valuable input frm nt nly Yamaha but als NEXO engineers during develpment t insure that an affrdable speaker culd deliver high- end quality

2 FEATURE High- Defini.n Sund. 48- bit signal prcessing with FIR- X tuning (Finite Impulse Respnse) FIR- X Tuning Simultaneusly pbmizes frequency and phase respnse while adjusbng the Bme alignment between the HF and LF transducers. Yamaha's prprietary linear phase digital crssvers deliver sund quality with superb clarity and imaging. BENEFIT: Impeccable clarity, especially in the midrange f the speaker. Nte the chart belw cmparing the phase respnse at the crucial 1kHz/2kHz frequency range: FEATURE D- Cntur gives yu Intelligent Dynamic Cntrl: Intelligent mulbband cmpressr calculates pbmal EQ adjustments at mulbple frequencies delivers a cnsistent sund utput at all levels Tw se\ngs n DXR AcBve Ludspeakers FOH/MAIN: Bsts lw end t when speaker is n a stand r flwn MONITOR: Cuts lw end when used n stage in mnitr psibn Flexible HPF/LPF Se\ngs Tw se\ngs n DXS AcBve Subwfers BOOST: Gives a punchier lw end XTENDED LF: Gives a brader lw end BENEFIT Clear and punchy sund at all levels that is especially ntable at lwer vlume levels when FOH/MAIN is engaged; bass is rlled ff when DXR is set in MONITOR psibn and placed n a hllw stage flr. The chart belw shws what is happening n DXR with FOH/MAIN and MONITOR psibns

3 FEATURE Extensive DSP Prtec.n Func.ns Micrprcessr cntrlled prtecbn lgic Mnitrs pwer supply status, pwer amplifier, and transducers t bth prtect and maintain full perfrmance at all levels and cndibns Switchable white frnt LED varies in brightness with system limibng BENEFIT The pwer supply, amplifier and speaker is cnstantly being mnitred and adjusted in real Bme t achieve maximum sund quality and prtecbn regardless f level difference. FEATURE Ul.mate Pwer and Versa.lity High- Efficiency 1100W Class- D Designed t match the DXR's HF and LF transducers. Impressive SPL f up t 133dB. Fast aiack and transient respnse Universal switching mde fr wrldwide mulb vltage Switchable white frnt LED varies in brightness with system limibng

4 Custm designed transducers High pwer utput Eminence wfers and 1.4 precisin CelesBn cmpressin drivers deliver detailed sund. Wide dispersin hrn gives beier cverage than cnvenbnal hrns BENEFIT DXR delivers the highest pwer in its class and features high- quality wfers and cmpressin drivers. The wide dispersin hrn insures that sund is delivered acrss a brader range FEATURE Great Integrated Mixing Features MIC/LINE Input 1: Switchable MIC/LINE level input with independent level cntrl and THRU utput LINE Input 2: ¼ inch stere input with independent level cntrl knb LINE Input 2: RCA stere input with independent level cntrl knb LINK OUT: Output t secnd DXR speaker with switchable MONO r STEREO Mde! BENEFIT Very cnvenient mixing features built in the speaker itself. The link ut allws a true stere set up, which is great fr keybardists, DJs r anyne wh needs a true stere system. Dn t frget t SELL the cncept f STEREO! FEATURE Func.nal Design Ple munt can be set at 0 r 7 50 angle in mnitr psibn insures that in mnitr psibn the utput is nt aimed at the musicians knees (DXR10, 12 and 15) Symmetrical shape allws mirrr- mde mnitr placement (DXR12 and 15) BENEFIT The ple munt allws musicians n the flr r n an elevated stage t mre precisely aim the DXR utput. The mnitrs are angled upwards (n need t use bks, bxes, etc., t aim yur mnitrs up!) and the symmetrical design allws a beier sund when using tw mnitrs. FEATURE Easy t Fly Rigging pints fr suspended applicabns with standard eyeblts and an pbnal U- bracket

5 Expandable U- bracket fr verbcal and hrizntal munt that s cmpabble with a lt f exisbng accessries BENEFIT DXR is easy t safely install in a club, churches, schls, etc. Wh is the DXR/DXS Custmer? Schls and Churches Great chice fr installabn because f simple set up (DXR12/15 with DXS15) Small Grup Cffee Shp Musicians The mixer secbn allws fr simultaneus vcal, keybard and ipd inputs Singers wh need a PA Example: Jazz singers wh want a great sunding simple set up that they can mve by themselves (DXR8 with DXS12 is ideal) Keybardists and Guitarists Keybardists shuld be running in STEREO! Sell STEREO! Guitarists wh run DSP based/ synth stere rigs (Pds, GR- 55, etc.) WHEN DEMOING DXR: 1. Cnnect a ipd, iphne, etc. with a stere mini jack t either 1/4 r RCA L/R t the DXR inputs 2 r 3. A stere dem will always ffer the best sund, s if yu can take the Bme t set the DXR up in matching pairs DO THAT! T dem tw speakers use the LINK OUT feature. Cnnect at the les/right inputs (2 and 3), then cnnect with XLR t the secnd DXR and engage the LINK OUT buin n the back. If a stere set up is nt available plug int les/right inputs 2 r 3 and dem a single speaker. Set the D CONTOUR t FOH/MAIN fr the audi dem. 2. In almst every case the ludest yu really need have t Cnnect t the either #2 (1/4 line input) r #3 (RCA type input). set the levels n the back f the speaker fr an effecbve in- stre dem is NOMINAL (0 n the LEVEL cntrls at the input as seen n the right). Nminal shuld be lud enugh t get the pint acrss that this speaker can really deliver SPL. Use an XLR type micrphne cable and press the LINK MODE switch t set the DXR t STEREO

6 3. Select well recrded, mixed and mastered music that has a wide frequency range, slid midrange definibn, and varied mixing styles and when beginning a dem make sure the D- CONTOUR buin is ON t n (FOH/MAIN). The prcessing is ne f the main features that makes the speaker sund s great at all levels. An imprtant pint abut DXR is the detail in the midrange and the fact that even when the speaker is nt really lud the sund is sbll superb. Pint ut the midrange detail: This is ne f the big selling pints f the DXR line. A gd line is this: DXR always sunds gd. When yu turn them up they just get luder, but they always sund gd. This is a big feature f the DXR. 4. If I am cmparing DXR t a cmpebtr speakers I set the cmpebtr t nminal as well. With regard t anything in the same price range as DXR it is generally luder at nminal. Als, the DXR12 cmpetes very effecbvely with many cmpebtrs 15 speaker. 5. The an. feedback dem needs t be dne CAREFULLY. If yu are ging t d the mic dem use a Shure SM58 r SM57 (DON T use a cndenser mic r hyper cardid) and try t use the DXR12. a. Set the DXR D- CONTOUR t MONITOR mde and place the DXR n the flr in mnitr psibn. b. Keep the micrphne abut 3-4 feet away and BE CAREFUL. The right distance is crucial- - dn t shve the mic inches frm the speaker. c. Yu can get the DXR lud and just say Mic Check... Test... Test... int the mic and then, frm the standard mnitr psibn, pint the mic at the speaker. It is best t pracbce this dem first s yu can be assured f a gd dem! Ding this right can be a very pwerful and effecbve dem. 6. Regarding music chices: Make sure yu think abut what yu are ging t use. Try t avid allwing a custmer t use their wn music because; a) it may nt have the best quality audi cntent (and it might have prfanity) and; b) yu lse cntrl f the dem. Always cntrl yur dem! 7. If yu are cmparing with a cmpebtr, make sure that if they have a DEEP r BOOST switch n the back and it is n yu engage D CONTOUR n the DXR. Apples t Apples...Our prcessing sunds great. 8. Cnnect yur audi surce directly t the speaker inputs and DO NOT run a thru ut frm ne t anther, especially when yu are using a cmpebtrs THRU ut. If it is cnnected t a mixer make sure that things are set up crrectly (prper gain staging is crucial). 9. One last thing: I pint ut hw quiet DXR is when it is just n and si\ng there. Many ther speakers hiss a lt luder. Our amplifier is high- quality and quiet!
