ATTENTION!

This loudspeaker is capable of producing extreme volumes. Please keep in mind that high sound pressures do not only temporarily damage your sense of hearing, but can also cause permanent hearing damage. Be careful to select a suitable volume at all times.

2.CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

Fig. 2.1: Control elements and connections (B212A and B215A)

Use this 1/4" stereo jack to connect a signal source that has 1/4" output.

Use this XLR connector to connect a signal source that has XLR output.

Always use either the XLR or the 1/4" jack input,

and use the LEVEL control to adapt the input sensitivity. Never use both inputs at the same time!

The LINK OUTPUT is directly connected to the inputs of the B212A/B215A and carries the input signal with no processing applied. In this way, you can route the signal to the input of another device (for example, a second B212A/B215A).

To set the volume of the LINE or MIC signal, use the LEVEL control. The left half of the control range is for attenuating the LINE signal. The right half is for raising the level of the MIC signal.

The CLIP LED lights up when signal distortion occurs. Reduce the volume with the LEVEL control until the CLIP LED does not light up any more, or occasionally lights up at signal peaks.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that extremely loud sound levels may damage your hearing as well as your headphones/loudspeakers. Turn the LEVEL control fully to the left before you switch on the unit. Be careful to select a suitable volume at all times.

The HIGH control adjusts the high-frequency range.

Use the LOW control to raise the level of the low-frequency range.

The PWR LED lights up when the loudspeaker is put into operation.

(B212A and B215A)

You can replace fuses at the FUSE SWITCH of the B212A/ B215A. Always replace fuses with the same type. Please follow the instructions given in chapter 5 “SPECIFICATIONS.”

The mains connection is established using a cable with an IEC mains connector. This cable is delivered with the B212A/ B215A. To avoid ground-loop hum, loudspeakers and mixing consoles should be connected to the same power circuit.

POWER

Press POWER to turn on your B212A/B215A.

Attention: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cable plug or appliance coupler. When installing the product, ensure the plug or appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power cord completely when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.
