Frequently Asked Questions - AXM 12A DYNACORD

How do I set up the AXM 12A as a floor monitor?

Place the speaker on a level, stable surface. Route cables securely to avoid tripping hazards. Ensure the speaker is oriented correctly with the grille facing the listener. Use the Monitor 1, Monitor 2, or Monitor 3 presets in the menu for optimal sound.

Can I mount the AXM 12A on a tripod stand?

Yes, it has a 35 mm (1-3/8 in) pole mount adaptor. Check the stand's weight capacity, place it on a flat surface, and fully extend the legs. Use the MAIN PA or TOP + SUB preset when mounted.

How do I connect a microphone to the AXM 12A?

Turn the INPUT 1 or 2 control fully counterclockwise. Connect a microphone via XLR to the corresponding combo input. Slowly increase the input level while speaking into the mic. For condenser mics, enable Phantom Power (+15 V) in the menu.

How do I enable phantom power?

Press MENU/ENTER, navigate to Phantom 1 or Phantom 2, and set to On. Phantom power (+15 V) is then supplied to the corresponding XLR input for condenser microphones.

What should I do to avoid acoustic feedback?

Position speakers behind microphones, switch off unused mics, and avoid excessive EQ. Use the Feedback filter in the menu: increase input level until feedback starts, then set the filter frequency where the sound disappears. The filter provides a -10 dB notch.

How do I replace a blown fuse?

Turn off power and unplug the unit. Open the fuse cover next to the mains socket using a screwdriver. Replace with a 5x20 mm, 250 V, 4 A fuse only. Never use a larger fuse.

What are the factory presets for?

The AXM 12A has six presets: Monitor 1 (flat response), Monitor 2 (vocal boost), Monitor 3 (dual setup compensation), GuitarCab (guitar monitor with cabinet simulation), MAIN PA (full-range PA), and TOP + SUB (high-pass filter for use with subwoofers).

How do I use the MIX OUT function?

MIX OUT sends a post-fader mix of inputs 1, 2, and 3 to another speaker. In the menu, set MIX OUT to L+R (summed mono) or R (right signal only, left signal played locally). This allows stereo playback with two speakers.

Can I save my own EQ settings?

Yes, navigate to Save Settings in the menu. You can save to one of five user memories (U1-U5) and assign a custom name. Load them later via Load Settings.

What is the warranty on the AXM 12A?

Warranty information is available at www.dynacord.com. The manual does not specify the warranty period; please consult the Dynacord website or dealer for details.

Audio inputs

Caution!

High sound level

Before making any connections or disconnections, make sure to set the corresponding level controls in the fully counterclockwise position - .

5.2.1

Microphone/line input

INPUT 1 MIC/LINE

Simple line drawing of a circular mechanical or electrical component with two star-shaped buttons at the ends (no text or symbols)

INPUT 2 MIC/LINE

Simple line drawing of a circular mechanical or electrical component with three mounting holes and star symbols (no text or labels)

Electronically balanced INPUT 1/2 MIC/LINE for the connection of a line level signal source (such as mixer etc.) or a microphone. Phantom power can be enabled (see menu item Phantom 1 or 2 in section Menu, page 12) if a condenser microphone is being used.

Establishing a connection is possible via TRS or XLR-type plugs. Whenever possible, balanced signal feed is always preferable to guard against potential noise or HF-interference.

5.2.2 Aux input

INPUT 3

AUX IN

Stereo unbalanced RCA type INPUT 3 AUX IN for connecting sources such as CD players or MP3 players. See menu item MIX OUT link in section Menu, page 12 how this input can be used.

5.3 Audio outputs

5.3.1 Thru output

The THRU output socket is connected in parallel to INPUT 1, it is used for "carrying through" the pre-fader input signal to additional powered loudspeaker or subwoofer.

5.3.2 Mix output

The post-fader audio signals of INPUT 1, INPUT 2 and INPUT 3 are mixed and passed to MIX OUT. The ratio of the input signals changes when the level controls INPUT 1, 2 or 3 are adjusted. This feature allows the loudspeaker to act as a basic three-channel mixer that can send the mix to another loudspeaker via the MIX OUT socket.

This output is laid out in GND-SENSING technology, a special pin assignment of the output socket, offering all advantages of the balanced signal transmission, but lets you also connect monaural plugs without a problem.

6 Configuration

6.1 Audio level

INPUT 1 MIC/LINE

Operation

7.1

Quickstart

Caution!

Extremely high acoustic output

Before switching the AXM 12A's power on, make sure to set the level controls in their fully counterclockwise position - . Otherwise, this could result in extremely high acoustic output, especially when the connected audio source is already playing. It is particularly dangerous when a microphone is connected, because of the possibility of acoustic feedback.

The input section of the AXM 12A allows the connection and mixing of three individual audio signal sources:

• INPUT 1 MIC/LINE
• INPUT 2 MIC/LINE
• INPUT 3 AUX IN

Turn the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to set the level setting indicated in the home screen to 0 dB.

MIC/LINE

1. Before connecting an audio signal source, turn the INPUT 1/2 control all the way down (counterclockwise).
2. Connect a microphone via XLR-type cable or a line level audio signal source (e.g. mixer, keyboard, etc.) via a 0.25-inch jack plug to a MIC/LINE input of the AXM 12A.
3. Switch on the audio source or switch the microphone on and speak into the mic.
4. Slowly increase the setting of the INPUT 1/2 control until the desired volume is achieved.

Caution!

Too high level setting can result in acoustic feedback. Therefore be careful when turning the INPUT 1/2 control.

1. The Hi, Mid and Lo menu items let you match the sound according to acoustical conditions. Again, be sure to keep the feedback threshold in mind. Whenever you notice feedback noise after making a certain change, decrease the setting of the control that you have just used by a little bit. Alternatively, you can activate the feedback filter, please refer to sections Menu, page 12 and Avoid acoustical feedback, page 16.

AUX IN

1. Before connecting an audio signal source, always turn the INPUT 3 control all the way down (counterclockwise).
2. Connect an audio signal source (e.g. CD/MP-3-Player) to the AXM 12A's AUX IN using an RCA jack-type cable.
3. Switch on the audio source and then slowly increase the setting of the INPUT 3 control until the desired volume is achieved.
4. The Hi, Mid and Lo menu items let you match the sound according to acoustical conditions.

8 Troubleshooting

8.1 Avoid acoustical feedback

Several circumstances and conditions have an influence on how sensitive or insensitive your system is for acoustical feedback. The following notes are meant to assist you in avoiding feedback and you should take them into consideration even before you activate the feedback filter.

Best practice for avoiding feedback

1. Do not position the main speaker systems behind the microphones.
2. Switch off all microphones that are not in use.
3. Consider the microphones' different polar patterns and characteristics, when placing the monitor speakers.
4. Do not turn up the monitor system's volume higher than actually necessary.
5. Try to avoid extensive equalization on channels that you want to include in your monitor mix.
6. Keep in mind, that a microphone "behaves" differently when somebody stands right in front of it.
7. Position the microphones as directly as possible to the sound source.

Using the feedback filter

If you still have the feeling that the monitor system's acoustic output is not sufficient, after considering the above mentioned precautions, you can use the feedback filter to mute the frequency that tends to generate feedback the most.

Therefore, you have to perform the following steps:

1. Increase the INPUT 1/2 level until the limit is reached where feedback starts. The slightly "hovering" sound that you hear is generated by the system itself.
2. Select the menu item Feedback, by default the feedback filter is deactivated ("Off").
3. Turn the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to activate the feedback filter and set the filter to the frequency where the "sound" disappears.

The feedback filter attenuates the level of the corresponding frequency band by about 10 dB. Since the filtered band is extremely narrow, an alteration in the sound of your monitor system is hardly audible.

Caution!

Please be extremely careful in driving the system just below the feedback limit. Careless operation, resulting in feedback noise at high SPL, can cause severe damage to your speaker systems and – even more important – the human ear.

8.2 Replace a blown fuse

First, turn off the power of the unit and pull the mains plug. Then, open the cover next to the mains socket to replace the blown fuse. Only use following fuse type: 5x20 mm, 250 V, 4 A

Figure 8.1: Open the fuse cover using a screw driver

Warning!

Never install a fuse larger than what the circuit was designed to be protected with.

9 Maintenance

The AXM 12A does not require any maintenance.

System examples

Figure 11.1: Monitor application with two AXM 12A connected to a CMS mixer

Figure 11.2: Tripod application with stereo playback plus microphone. Set the menu item MIX OUT of the left AXM 12A to R, so the left (L) signal is played only from the left AXM 12A. The right (R) signal is output via MIX OUT and is played from the right AXM 12A. The microphone signal is played by both speakers.

Figure 11.3: Application with two PowerSub 212 powered subwoofers. Set the menu item Function to MAIN PA, as the AXM 12As are connected to the MID/HIGH outputs of the subwoofers.

Figure 11.4: Application with two A 118A powered subwoofers. Set the menu item Function to TOP + SUB, as the AXM 12As are connected to the LINK OUTPUTs of the subwoofers.
