DA-BM6A
OWNERS MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the Dynaudio Acoustics BM6A monitor system. With the
right care and attention it will give you many years of trouble free audio reproduction. It is
most important, however, that you take a few minutes at this early stage in your BM6A’s life to
read the following paragraphs. They contain essential information to enable you to get the
best from your monitors.
Electrical Safety Warning
This unit is supplied with a 3 wire power cord. Under no circumstances should the
earth wire be disconnected.
To prevent possibility of shock hazard do not expose the unit to moisture
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not open cover. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only
Ensure correct mains voltage and fuse are selected before connection to mains

Setting Up
Mains Power Connections
Mains power is applied via a fused IEC inlet. The unit must be earthed. The voltage selector
switch is used to match the unit to the mains voltage in your territory. The mains fuse must be
the correct value for the voltage selected, 115V requires a T3.15A fuse while 230V requires a
T1.6A fuse. The ‘T’ signifies a slow blow type fuse.
You must ensure that the correct voltage and fuse have been selected before
switching the unit on.
Audio Connections
Audio input is via a female XLR connector. The input is electronically balanced with +ve on
pin 2, -ve on pin 3 and ground on pin 1. If your signal source is unbalanced it is usual to
connect the unused signal pin (i.e. Pin 3) to ground. This is normally done inside the
connecting cable. For best results use only good quality screened cables and connectors.
Your local dealer will be able to advise you
Positioning
The BM6A is designed primarily as a ‘nearfield’ monitor and would normally be positioned
1-3m from the listener. They can be mounted on stands or on the meter bridge of the console
(providing this is substantial enough). For best results the speakers should be ‘aimed’ at the
listener in both vertical and horizontal planes.
In any situation ensure that there is adequate space for ventilation around the heatsink.

Operation
Controls
Level switch. This sets the input sensitivity of the unit. The +4 position is intended for
professional use and means that full power is reached with an input level of
+4dBm (balanced). The -10 position is intended for semi-professional or
domestic use and means that full power is reached with an input level of
-10dBm (unbalanced).
HF Trim. This control allows the high frequency level to be adjusted. The control
works from 3kHz upwards and has a range of 5dB (see figure 1).
LF Trim. This control allows the low frequency level to be adjusted. The control works
from 100Hz downwards and has a range of 5dB (see figure 1). This section
uses a special equaliser design which effectively swaps bandwidth for power.
As you turn the LF trim level down the low frequency extension is improved.
The trim controls are intended to allow the user to make some adjustment of the speaker
response to accommodate personal tastes and variations in acoustic environment.

Indicators
There are two LED indicators on the front baffle of the BM6A.
The right hand one is the power/fault indicator. On switching the unit on this will shine red for
about ten seconds and then turn green to indicate normal operation. If for any reason the
amplifier protection circuitry is engaged the LED will turn back to red.
The left indicator is a true clip indicator and lights when the low frequency amplifier clips. It is
acceptable to run the system with this lighting occasionally but avoid running the system with
this lighting most of the time
Running In
BM6A Owner’s Manual - Issue 2 Page 4
November 1997
The drivers in your BM6A must be run in before optimum performance is achieved. Avoid
using the system at high levels for the first 24 hours of operation. Full run in is usually
achieved after about one week of normal operation.
Protection
The BM6A has a comprehensive electronic protection system. Thermal overload and dc
voltage on the outputs will cause the system to engage. This will disconnect the drive units
from the amplifier and change the power LED to it’s red/fault condition. In addition the HF
amplifier has an optical limiter in circuit which prevents excessive long term power reaching
the tweeter whilst allowing transients to pass uncompressed.
Troubleshooting
If the speaker stops working and the power LED turns red (fault condition) switch the unit off
and leave it for a while. If the unit works again when you switch back on the fault was
probably due to thermal overload, ensure the heatsink is clear of obstruction and has free air
circulation around it. If however the fault condition persists the unit should be inspected by
qualified personnel (your DA dealer).
If the speaker stops working and no LED’s are alight then the mains fuse on the back panel
should be checked and replaced if necessary. If this does not rectify the problem the unit
should be inspected by qualified personnel (your DA dealer).
Care
Components of the highest quality are used in the BM6 A. and should give a long trouble free
life. Here are a few hints to help them on their way.
Avoid running the system into clipping or distortion. When an amplifier clips it can send
potentially damaging DC components to the drive units. They may not fail at once but
prolonged exposure to this will result in eventual failure.
Avoid unplugging or switching off any equipment that is connected to the monitor system
without first turning off the BM6A. Large voltage spikes are often generated when equipment
is switched off which will be amplified to a potentially damaging level.
Do not touch the drive units. The tweeter especially uses a very fine fabric diaphragm which
is easily damaged.

The BM6 A may be used in conjunction with the Dynaudio Acoustics Active Bass Extension
System. The ABES comprises a single 2 x 12" Bass cabinet, with an integrated crossover and
amplifier mounted on the rear. The ABES will extend the frequency response of the BM6 A
down to 35Hz. Please consult your local dealer for a demonstration.
