Thank you for choosing LD Systems!

We have designed this product to operate reliably over many years. Therefore LD Systems guarantees for high

quality products with its name and many years of experience as a producer.

Please, take a few moments to read these instructions carefully, as we want you to enjoy your new LD Systems

products quickly and to the fullest.

For information about LD Systems check out our website WWW.LD-SYSTEMS.COM

Introduction

Their outstanding performance of the LD Systems DDQ series is the result of a precise design and perfect

features that deserve top marks across the board.

The DDQ systems are loaded with Faital Pro woofers and BMS tweeters. They are driven separately by two Hypex

UCD400 400W power stage modules.

The signal is processed by a Sharc DSP programmed especially for the DDQ active systems with converters that

have a remarkable dynamic range of 127dB. It handles all protection functions, whereby the predictive peak

limiter is especially worthy of mention. With a look ahead time of 1 millisecond, it ensures absolutely distortion-

free reproduction even at maximum volume.

The bass-reﬂex cabinet of the DDQ active speaker is made of multiplex. Thanks to the innovative Evolutive

handles and their comparatively low weight, the DDQ 10" and 12" active speakers are easy to transport. They

are designed for all PA applications: for mobile use, permanent installation, compact systems, FOH systems or

delay lines. Thanks to their integral 50° angle, they can also be used as active monitors. All DDQ systems are

made in Germany!

with ﬂuids, such as vases or drinking vessels, on top of the device.

13. Make certain that objects cannot fall into the device.

14. Use the device only with accessories with which the manufacturer intends the device to be used.

15. CAUTION: If this device has a mains connector equipped with protective earth, it must be connected to a

mains socket with a protective ground connection. Never disable the function of the protective ground connection

of the included power cord.

16. Do not turn on the device immediately if it was exposed to strong temperature ﬂuctuations (for example after

transportation). Moisture and condensation may damage the device. Leave the device switched off until it has

reached room temperature.

17. Do not open the device and do not make any changes to the device.

18. Before connecting to mains power, make certain that the mains voltage and the mains frequency are the

same as the operating values of the device (see type label). If the device is equipped with a supply voltage selec-

tor switch, make certain that the values of the device match the values of the mains power before connecting.

If the plug on the included cord does not ﬁt your mains outlet, contact your electrician.

19. Make certain that the power cord is not stepped on. Protect the power cord against pinching, especially at

the device plug and the power plug.

FRONT OF HOUSE CONFIGURATION

For the front of house application, the narrower side of the HF horn opening must face downward.

STAGE MONITOR CONFIGURATION

For use as a stage monitor, the LDDDQ10 and LDDDQ12 can be position lying on their sides (horizontal setup). If

necessary, the HF horn can be rotated by 90° in order to attain a greater

HF dispersion angle. To do this, the active speaker must ﬁrst be switched off and disconnected from the mains.

Next remove the front grille and loosen and remove the screws on the mounting ﬂange of the horn . Afterwards

the horn can be rotated by 90° and re-fastened (please never rotate more than 90°). If the HF horn is to rotated

back for a vertical setup, this must always be done in the opposite direction. Rotating the HF horn multiple times

in the same direction can damage the leads to the HF system or its terminals.

INSTALLATION & MOUNTING:

ADJUSTING THE SM707 CABINET FLANGE

The built-in, patented SM707 cabinet ﬂange is highly adjustable.

The SM707 permits angles of between + und - 13.5° in increments of 4.5°.

Carefully lift the cabinet a little (approx. 0.5 cm) to unlock the locking mechanism, then tilt the cabinet to the

desired position and lower it again.

FLOWN OPERATION:

The speakers are equipped with appropriate ﬂyware for ﬂown operation.

The LD DDQ series speakers have M8 threads for use with M8 eyelet bolts, which can be used to suspend the

speakers

on chains with snap hooks or wire ropes.

Please use only appropriately certiﬁed, undamaged ﬂyware (ﬂying points,

eyelet bolts, snap hooks, chains, wire ropes, etc.). Please also observe the corresponding requirements

for ﬂown operation above persons in correspondingly applicable regulations (varies from country to country)!

As an alternative to ﬂying points, the speakers can be ﬂown using the LDDDQ10SB and LDDDQ12SB swing bra-

ckets developed especially for the LD DDQ series. The assembly instructions can be found on the next two pages

of this user's manual. The swing brackets can be fastened securely to crossbar systems, for example, using the

optional Adam Hall SCP838 "self-lock" hooks.

MAINTENANCE:

The best way to clean the surface of the loudspeaker‘s cabinet is to use a dry, medium-hard brush (wallpaper

brush). Use only a dry cloth to clean the control panel.
