ACTIVE SUBWOOFERS: DBP-15SA
a large stage and for fixed installations where you want to send the same signal to
different zones like in a Bar, Pub, Restaurant, Church, etc.
Each DBP cabinet has its own volume control so you can adjust different volumes in
different zones.
1). Follow the above steps connecting the MAIN OUTPUTS of the mixer to the LINE D BP-15SA
INPUTS of two DBP active cabinets.
2). Connect the LINE OUT socket of the first DBP cabinet to the LINE IN socket of the
subsequent piece. You can connect as many speakers as you wish in this way.
