Thump212XT and Thump215XT 1400W Enhanced Powered Loudspeaker Series

Getting Started

Introduction

  ThumpXT Loudspeakers are the next evolution  

of the incredibly popular series, packed with more  

power, capability, and bang-for-the-buck than ever before. 

  Completely redesigned from the ground up, ThumpXT 

features heavy-duty drivers, 1400W amplifiers,  

and powerful tools to make your next gig easier than ever. 

  Optimize the system with venue-specific voicing modes  

plus Indoor/Outdoor modes. The built-in Feedback Eliminator 

and Music Ducking mode keep the show running smooth 

when it counts. 

  Control it all plus access additional features like system EQ, 

levels, mutes, and more right from your phone with the Thump 

Connect 2 app. And with Bluetooth® streaming, ultra-versatile 

I/O, legendary Thump sound quality, and easy portability, 

ThumpXT is going to be your new favorite loudspeaker. 

How to Use This Manual:

  After this introduction, a getting started guide will help  

you get things set up fast. The hookup diagrams show  

some typical ThumpXT loudspeaker setups.

This icon marks information that is critically 

important or unique! For your own good, read and 

remember them...it is a good idea to pay special 

attention to these areas in the Owner’s Manual 

marked with the “VERY IMPORTANT” hand icon.
There’s an illustration of a microscope,  

so, of course, you’re going to get more  

detailed information when you see this  

little guy. There are explanations of  

features and practical tips listed here.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to text displayed 

next to a note icon, as this icon draws attention  

to certain features and functions relating to  

the usage of the ThumpXT Series.

  The following steps will help you set up the loudspeakers 

quickly.

  1. Make all initial connections with the power switches OFF  

on all equipment. Make sure the master volume, level and gain 

controls are all the way down.

  2. If not using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from  

the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs  

on the rear panel of the loudspeakers. 

  3. If using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from  

the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs  

on the subwoofer, then connect the high pass outputs  

from the subwoofer to the inputs of the loudspeakers.

  4. Push the line cord securely into the subwoofer’s / 

loudspeaker’s IEC connectors and plug the other ends into 

grounded AC outlets. The subwoofer/loudspeaker may accept 

the appropriate voltage as indicated near the IEC connector.

  5. Go to the batting cages and work on your swing.

  6. Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.

  7. Turn the subwoofer on (if applicable).

  8. Turn the loudspeakers on.

  9. Make sure the loudspeaker’s channel gain knob(s)  

are set to mic or line.

  10. Be sure that the volume of the input is the same  

as it would be during normal use.

  11. Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s main  

L/R fader up to a comfortably loud listening level.

Things to Remember:

•  Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see 

the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing 

protection.

•   As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal source) 

should be turned on first, subwoofers next, and ThumpXT 

loudspeakers last. As such, the ThumpXT loudspeakers 

should also be turned off first, followed by the subwoofers, 

then the mixer. This will reduce the possibility of any turn-

on or turn-off thumps and other noises generated by any 

upstream equipment from coming out of the speakers.

•   Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may  

need them someday. Besides, the cats will love playing  

in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember  

to pretend like you are surprised!

•   Save your sales receipt in a safe place.

Please write the serial numbers here for future reference  

(i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization,  

make dad proud, etc.)
