Thump th-15a, Owner'S Manual

Page: 4 / 16

Getting Started
The following steps will
help you set up your
loudspeakers quickly.
INITIAL SETTINGS:
1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel all the way
down.
2. Set the DIRECT/EQ switch out (DIRECT).
3. Turn the POWER switch OFF.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect the line-level signal from your mixer (or
other signal source) to the IN jack on the TH-15A
rear panel (XLR connector).
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the IEC
socket on the back of the loudspeaker. Plug the
other end into an AC outlet properly configured
with the correct voltage as indicated just below
the IEC socket.
TURN IT ON:
1. Turn the POWER switch ON.
2. Start your signal source (tape deck, CD, DAW, or
whatever), but leave the master level control on
your mixer down.
3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the TH-15A to
the “U” (unity gain) mark at the center position.
. Adjust the master volume on your mixer to a
comfortably loud listening level. If the volume from
the speakers gets really loud, really fast, try turning
down the LEVEL control on the TH-15As a bit. If the
speakers don’t get loud enough, turn up the LEVEL
control to achieve a good balance of master
volume control and loudness from the speaker.
Now that you have your loudspeakers
working, it’s time to hunker down and read
the rest of this manual…especially the
following:
ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
information on hearing protection.
• When you shut down your equipment, turn off
the TH-15A loudspeakers first to prevent thumps
and other noises generated by any upstream
equipment from coming out the speakers. When
powering up, turn on the TH-15As last.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials!
You may need them someday. Besides, your cat
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.
• Record the serial number in the space provided on
page 3, along with where and when you bought it.
