D 8A
1 Introduction
The DYNACORD D 8A is a powered, biamped, light-weight
and extremely robust high-performance professional 8" 2-
way plastic cabinet for use in professional sound
reinforcement applications. With a variety of suspension
accessories and conservative cosmetics, the D 8A is also
ideally suited to be used in demanding fixed installations.
The cabinet is manufactured from ABS and therefore is ex-
tremely resistant against abuse on the road. For low fre-
quencies a DYNACORD DND8200-8 is used. The Electro-
Voice DH 3 driver is used for the projection of mid and high
frequencies. The Constant-Directivity HF horn has been in-
tegrated into the baffle by CAD methods. Nominal covera-
ge angle of the cabinet is 90° * 90°, horizontal * vertical
respectively.
The built-in digital power amplifiers are working in biam-
ped operation and are controlled by an electronic x-over
circuit that has been designed to optimally match the
transducers' acoustic characteristics. The D 8A is ideally
suited for applications as full-range cabinet or as Mid-Hi
cabinet in high-performance satellite systems. EASE and
ULYSSES data allow fast and precise simulations.
The line-level input signal can be connected to the cabinet
by means of an XLR plug or a standard phone plug. Addi-
tionally an microphone level input signal can be connected
by means of an XLR plug and adjusted using the micro-
phone level control MIC. The master signal can be daisy-
chained to a second D 8A cabinet via a regular XLR micro-
phone cable. The built-in level control MASTER allows easy
adjustment of the required sound pressure level.
The D 8A is connected to the mains via a locked IEC inlet
that guarantees a hassle-free operation. Extremely durable
acoustic foam mounted to a strong powder-coated steel
grille protects the loudspeaker components against any
mechanical damage. A protective cover is available as an
option.
1.1 Scope of Delivery, Unpacking and
Inspection

• 1 Mains Cord (5 meters)
• 1 Warranty Certificate including Safety Instructions
Carefully open the packaging and take out the cabinet. In-
spect the cabinet's enclosure for damages that might have
occured during transportation. Each cabinet is examined
and tested in detail before leaving the manufacturing site
to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition at your place.
Please inform the transport company immediately if the
cabinet shows any damage. Being the addressee, you are
the only person who can claim damages in transit. Keep
the cardboard box and all packaging materials for inspec-
tion by the transport company.
Keeping the cardboard box including all packing materials
is also recommended, if the cabinet shows no external
damages.
CAUTION: Do not ship the cabinet in any other than its
original packaging.
