2.CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

Fig. 2.1.: Control elements and connections

You can connect a footswitch (e.g. MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER FCB1010) to this 1/4" TS connector to remotely enable/disable the tweeter. When the tweeter is enabled, you get a harder, more direct sound (Hard Attack). When the tweeter is disabled, the entire sound spectrum is reproduced only on the bass speakers (Soft Attack).

The loudspeakers of the ULTRABASS series feature a 1/4" TS connector in the INPUT/LINK section as well as two professional speaker connectors (compatible with NEUTRIK® SPEAKON®). All connectors are wired in parallel, which means that all three connections are identical in their function. Therefore, you can connect a second speaker to the link connector output without going directly to the amplifier. This way, you can utilize short cables and will require no additional connectors on your amp.

+Connecting several ULTRABASS cabinets via the link connector reduces the input impedance: if you connect two identical speakers, the impedance is reduced to one half of the original value, with three speakers to a third, and so on. Therefore, always keep in mind the impedance value of your amplifier to avoid causing damage by overloading. Ideally, the impedance of your speakers corresponds to the impedance of your amplifier. If the speaker has a higher impedance than the amplifier, this will have no negative consequences on the amp, but it won’t be able to pass its full power to the speaker. See chapter 4. “INSTALLATION” for more information.

+Attention! Never connect two amps to one BA410. Otherwise, you may destroy both your amps and your speakers.

This table shows the correct polarity of the connectors:

Plus pole (POS) = Tip (TIP) on the stereo jack or 1+ on the professional speaker connector.

Minus pole (NEG) = Sleeve (SLV) on the stereo jack or 1- on the professional speaker connector.

+Please observe the illustrations 4.1 and 4.2.
