Frequently Asked Questions - SUB 918 DB Technologies

How to turn on the SUB 918 subwoofer?
Insert and turn the powerCON TRUE1 connector, then plug in the mains power cable. The subwoofer turns on automatically. Before powering on, set the input sensitivity to 0 dB.
What to do if the subwoofer does not turn on?
Check the upstream mains power and ensure the power cord is properly inserted into the powerCON connectors. If the problem persists, contact an authorized repairer.
How to connect the SUB 918 to a speaker?
Connect the mixer output to the XLR input of the subwoofer. Then, connect the XLR output of the subwoofer to the speaker input. Set the OUTPUT XOVER/LINK switch to XOVER to output a filtered signal at the chosen frequency (120 Hz by default).
What is the difference between Link and Xover modes?
In Link mode, the signal at the outputs is identical to that applied to the woofer. In Xover mode, the signal is filtered according to a crossover frequency (default 120 Hz) to drive a full-range speaker (e.g. B-HYPE, OPERA).
How to adjust the delay on the SUB 918?
Use the Delay rotary control on the control panel to select the delay in milliseconds. This allows temporal alignment of the subwoofer with other speakers.
What does the Limiter LED mean?
The Limiter LED lights up when the internal protection circuit is active. This indicates that the subwoofer is operating at its limit to prevent damage. Reduce the input level if this LED stays on frequently.
Can I use the SUB 918 outdoors?
Yes, the wooden cabinet with black protective paint is designed for indoor and outdoor use. However, avoid direct exposure to rain and prolonged humidity. Never remove the protective grille.
How to suspend the subwoofer?
It is forbidden to use the handles to suspend the subwoofer. The SUB 918 is not designed for suspension. Use it only on the ground or stacked with the DS2-S mini pole.
How to update the firmware of the SUB 918?
Use the USB Data Service connector on the rear panel. Connect a USB cable to a computer and follow the instructions provided by DB Technologies. The update enhances DSP features.
Which accessories are compatible for pole mounting?
Use the DS2-S mini pole (35 mm diameter) to install a speaker directly on the subwoofer, or the DS-2 telescopic pole (35 mm) for a single speaker. Additional securing is required for safety.

2. FIRST POWER-UP

The package of SUB 915 / SUB 918 subwoofer contains:

• 915 or 918 subwoofer
• POWERCON TRUE1 power cable
- quick start user manual and warranty documents in hard copy

CONFIGURATION AND OPTIMISATION

The subwoofer will turn on after inserting, turning and connecting the powerCON TRUE1 ^® connector to the power supply.

For subwoofer use optimisation in given configurations, the control panel displays the following:

- Xover/Link [Hz]:

  1. Link (the signal present at OUTPUTS is the one applied to the woofer)
  2. Xover (the signal present at OUTPUTS is filtered with a crossover frequency of 120 Hz, for daisy chain to a speaker, such as B-HYPE and OPERA)

- Subwoofer Polarity:

  1. Normal (audio signal normal polarity)
  2. Reverse (reverse polarity, useful for wavefront optimisation through acoustic wave phase reversal)

- Subwoofer Delay:

It is possible to select the applicable delay for various configurations, according to what is stated on the silk-screen print.

In the event of a connection between subwoofer and speaker:

  1. Connect mixer output to subwoofer input connector
  2. Connect subwoofer output connector to speaker input.
  3. Set subwoofer OUTPUT XOVER/LINK [4] to XOVER, in order to daisy-chain a signal to the speaker having a crossover frequency that can be selected with the Xover/Link rotary control [Hz]

3. USAGE EXAMPLES

DB Technologies SUB 918 - USAGE EXAMPLES - 1

  • Types of installation other than those here described are not allowed.
  • Never use the handles to suspend the subwoofer
  • Always check that the positioning is stable and that the installation does not pose a danger to people, animals or property.

FLOOR USAGE

915 and 918 subwoofers may be used directly on the floor.

USAGE WITH SPEAKER IN A STACK

A speaker may be installed directly on 915 or 918 subwoofer by means of a DS2-S 35 mm diameter mini-pole (e.g. series: INGENIA, B-HYPE, OPERA).

An additional fastener is required.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

The subwoofer will not turn on:

  1. Check that power supply is present upstream of the installation.
  2. Ensure that the power supply cable is properly plugged in.

The subwoofer turns on but produces no sound:

  1. Check that the input connection of the audio signal is correctly performed.
  2. Check the cables for damage.
  3. Ensure that the mixer or audio source is on and an output signal is present.
  4. Check the general level through the "Input Sensitivity" control.

Loudspeaker sound is inappropriate:

  1. Check the cables for damage and replace them as required (a damaged cable may lead to signal loss or alteration).
  2. Check that the settings on the control panel are correctly set.
