CONNECTIONS
The Balanced XLR inputs wired
The system has a female XLR input that accept a balanced line-level signal. When connecting a balanced signal, be
sure it s wired per AES ( Audio Engineering Society) standards:
XLR
Hot (+) Pin 2
Gold (-) Pin 3
Shield (Ground) Pin1
If connecting an unbalanced signal to the system balanced input, be sure that the signal high (hot) connection is wired
to Pin 2 and the unbalanced ground connection is wired to the low and the ground connections of the balanced input
(Pin s and 1). If there are ground-loop problem, try connecting the unbalanced ground connection only to the input low
connection ( Pin 3), and leaving the input ground connection disconnected.

The THRU output connectors allow you to connect more than one bass or other active speaker to your system. Simply
plug source (i.e. Mixer output) into the first speaker s Full RANGE INPUT jacks, and patch that speaker s THRU jacks
to the next speaker s INPUT jacks, and so on, daisy-chaining multiply speakers. The THRU jack is wired straight from
the FULL RANGE INPUT connector( there is no electronic circuitry between), so the signal coming out of the THRU jack
is exactly the same as the signal going in.

PLACEMENT
The bass system is designed to sit on the floor, there is no rigging points and is not suitable for rigging. Never attempt
to suspend the system by its handles. As with any powered components, protect the system from exposure to moisture.
If you are setting them up outdoors, make sure they are under cover if you expect rain.
AC POWER
Be sure the system is plugged into an outlet that is able to supply the correct voltage specified for your model. And be
sure the electrical service can supply enough amperage for all the components connected to it. We recommend that a
stiff supply of AC power be used because the amplifiers place high current demands on the AC line. The more power
that is available on the line, the louder the speakers will play and the more peak output power will be available for
cleaner, punchier bass. A suspected problem of poor bass performance is often caused by a week AC supply to the
amplifiers. Never remove the ground pin on the power cord of the bass or any other component. This is very dangerous.
