4. INSTALLATION

4.1 Speaker connector

When combining several speakers/cabinets, you should bear in mind the resulting overall impedance. Here are some brief explanations about different kinds of connections:

Serial connection: The individual impedance values of the connected speakers are added up. If two 4-Ohm speakers are connected to one another, there is an overall impedance value of 8 Ohms.

Parallel connection: If speaker/cabinets with identical impedance values are connected in parallel, the overall nominal impedance is reversely proportional to the number of speakers, e.g. if you connect two speakers/cabinets, the nominal impedance is halved; if you connect three speakers/cabinets, the nominal impedance is one third of the individual speakers’ impedance; with four speakers, it’s one quarter, and so on. For example, this way you can turn two 8-Ohm systems into one 4-Ohm system.

If four or more speakers/cabinets need to be connected, this can be done using a serial parallel connection. With four speakers with an impedance value of 4 Ohms each, the resulting overall impedance does not change.

+Whenever possible, try to use thick and short speaker cables to minimize power loss. Don’t lay output cables near input cables.

Wiring options for loudspeakers are additionally explained in the following illustrations and tables.

BA210 specifications

The Behringer BA210 is a powerful and versatile bass amplifier cabinet, designed for musicians on stage and in the studio. This cabinet is equipped with two 10-inch heavy-duty woofers, optimized to deliver an impressive low end and ensure that bassists can expect punchy and clear sound reproduction across various musical genres. Its compact design makes it suitable for small venues, rehearsal spaces, and home use, while still providing enough power for live performances.

One of the notable features of the BA210 is its exceptional handling capacity. With a power rating of up to 400 watts, the cabinet allows bassists to connect it with a compatible amplifier without any concerns about distortion or damage. This capability is particularly appealing to those who may want to run their amplifier at higher volumes while maintaining sound fidelity.

The design of the BA210 also incorporates a rugged wooden enclosure that not only contributes to its durability but also enhances sound quality. The cabinet is thoughtfully constructed to minimize unwanted resonance, resulting in a more articulated sound. Additionally, the front grille is made of steel, offering protection to the speaker cones, which is crucial for traveling musicians who are on the go.

Another important feature of the Behringer BA210 is its lightweight design, which makes transportation easier for musicians. Weighing in at a reasonable weight, it does not compromise on build quality, allowing bassists to carry their gear with comfort and ease.

The BA210 includes a range of technologies aimed at improving tonal versatility. It features a well-designed crossover that ensures that higher frequencies are handled smoothly, providing an even frequency response that helps in defining the character of the instrument. This makes it an attractive option for those looking for clarity and precision in their sound.

Lastly, the cabinet comes with integrated handles for easy lifting and carrying, and rubber feet to ensure stability and prevent slipping during performances. The Behringer BA210 is tailored for bassists seeking a reliable, high-quality cabinet that offers a blend of power, sound clarity, and portability, making it a fantastic choice for both practice and performance applications. Whether you’re a gigging musician or a hobbyist, this cabinet promises to deliver a satisfying audio experience.
