ULTRABASS BA210

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for expressing your confidence in our products by purchasing the BEHRINGER ULTRABASS BA210. The BA210 is a premium, unusually powerful bass cabinet that was specially developed for deep and responsive sound reproduction.

The special BUGERATM aluminum cone speakers used in the BA210 guarantee amazingly direct attack and impulsive bass. Add to that the unbelievable power of 500 Watts, the outstanding workmanship and good tranpsortability thanks to the integrated rollers. All these characteristics make the ULTRABASS BA210 an absolutely high-value, dependable companion on the stage, in the studio or in your practice room.

1.1 Shipment

The BA210 was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.

+Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

+Always use the original packing carton to prevent damage during storage or transport.

+Never let unsupervised children play with the ULTRABASS or with its packaging.

+Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally friendly fashion.

1.2 Initial operation

Connect the ULTRABASS BA210 to a power amplifier using the speaker connectors located in the back.

+Please make sure to completely lower the volume on your amp before connecting it to the BA210.

1.3 Warranty

Please take a few minutes and send us the completed warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at www.behringer.com.

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 BA210. 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.

SERIAL NUMBER. Please take a few minutes and send us the completed warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase; failure to do so may void future warranty claims. You may also register online at www.behringer.com.

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.
