Caster mounting screws

2 2 installcaster

These screws are for attaching the optional Yamaha Caster SPW-1 (sold separately). Casters can be attached for easier transport. To attach the wheels, use the screws that came attached to the DXSmk3 body. If you do not attach the wheels, do not remove these screws. Otherwise, air leakage will adversely affect sound quality.

caution CAUTION

Be sure to use this subwoofer along with the optional wheels intended specifically for the Yamaha DXSmk3 series. If you use wheels other than the optional wheels dedicated for the Yamaha DXSmk3 series, the subwoofer may become unstable, increasing the risk of injury.

note NOTE

For more information about installing wheels and related precautions, refer to the corresponding manual for the wheels.

[THRU/OUTPUT] connector
This is an XLR type output connector. For channel 2 on the DXRmk3 series and channels 1 and 2 on the DXSmk3 series, the output signals can be switched using the ⑨ [THRU/DSP OUT] switch. Channel 1 on the DXRmk3 series is fixed to [THRU].

[MIC/LINE] switch (only for the DXRmk3 series)
You can switch the mode according to the input level to channel 2. Set this switch to [MIC] when connecting a low-level device such as a microphone, and to [LINE] when connecting a high-level device such as a mixer. By default, when you switch to [MIC], the HPF is automatically enabled.

[THRU/DSP OUT] switch
You can switch the signals output from the output connector between the signals [THRU] that are directly passed through from the input connector, or the signals [DSP OUT] that are processed by DSP. If you set the switch to [DSP OUT], you can also set the output signals. For information about the signals that can be output, refer to UTILITY Screen > LINK MODE .

Ventilation holes
A cooling fan is installed on the exhaust side of the ventilation holes. The fan starts spinning when the amplifier temperature exceeds a preset value. The fan speed is controlled based on the temperature of the amplifier and power supply.

caution CAUTION

Do not block the ventilation holes (heat dissipation slits) of this product. This product has ventilation holes on the back to prevent internal temperature rise. If the ventilation holes are blocked, heat may build up inside the product, which may result in malfunction or fire.

[AC IN] socket
Connect the included power cord in the following order: Before connecting the power cord, make sure the product is turned off.

  1. Connect the plug of the included power cord to the AC IN socket on the rear panel of the unit. Insert the power plug all the way in until the latch locking mechanism (V-lock) locks.
