EUROLIVE SERIES

1. INTRODUCTION

With the BEHRINGER EUROLIVE, you have acquired a first-class P.A. loudspeaker system. You now own at least one component of an expandable system that gives you well-balanced, distortion-free reproduction of your audio material.

With its numerous features, the EUROLIVE SERIES represents an ideal P.A. loudspeaker system for a variety of applications, from churches and schools to clubs to larger venues. We designed the EUROLIVE SERIES to provide you with a complete range of speaker enclosures with consistent quality plus all the options you need to expand your P.A. system according to your needs, like pro-level Speakon® inputs and outputs.

The rugged enclosures ensure that your EUROLIVE speakers will withstand even the roughest handling on the road. They are made entirely of high-grade, non-polluting, formaldehyde-free E1 MDF boards with multi-glued tongue-and-groove construction. Your EUROLIVE enclosure was manufactured in compliance with BEHRINGER’s stringent quality control system.

1.1 Before you begin

Your EUROLIVE speaker was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine packaging and contents for any signs of physical damage which may have occurred during transit.

+If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

1.2 Connection

Use the speaker connectors on the rear of the unit to connect the EUROLIVE enclosure to your power amplifier.

+Make sure to turn down your amplifier volume before you connect the speaker(s).
