Dynacord M 18 Portable Speaker User Manual


 
Congratulations! Your new DYNACORD MADRAS M18 is an active loudspeaker cabinet
incorporating state-of-the art technology.
The MADRAS M18 is an active, optimally vented subwoofer with integrated controller and Electro-
Voice EVX180B woofer.
The integrated controller with 124 Hz, 24dB/octave and Linkwitz-Riley characteristics and the
electronically balanced XLRF-type connectors allow easy installing an active 3-way system con guration
using active top-parts like for example the MADRAS M18 (in mid-high position). Frequency and phase
responses of the MADRAS M18 also provide the possibility for direct parallel operation with suitable
full-range cabinets. Achieving this is possible by simply feeding the MADRAS M18 Sub with a line level
audio signal from a separate mixer output. Balance between MADRAS M18 Sub and top-parts can be
established from the mixing console.
An 800W high-ef ciency class-H power ampli er provides ample power. Consequential use of class-H
technology reduces power dissipation, power consumption as well as the power amp’s weight noticeably.
The power ampli er is convection-cooled, resulting in no disturbing noise from running fans.
The fully electronic VOICE COIL TRACKING PROTECTION prevents the EVX180B woofer from being
damaged by thermal overload, which make the MADRAS M18 especially suitable for a wide range of
demanding applications in the rental business. The birch multi-plywood enclosure is sealed with black,
extremely shock-resistant structural lacquer  nish. A robust, powder-coated steel grille protects the
woofer against mechanical damage.
Mains connection is provided via lockable PowerCon connector. Also provided is a PowerCon mains
output. Audio signal connection is provided via XLRF-type connector. An additional XLRF-type connector
allows feeding the signal to another cabinet. The electronically balanced input features a level control
for matching the volume. Four stable carrying handles as well as four professional-type castors allow
for comfortable transport. Snap-in drillings allow trouble-free, stables stacking while an integrated pole-
mount  ange permits space-saving installation with top-parts.
