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.

BB410 specifications

The Behringer BB410 is a powerful and dynamic bass cabinet designed to deliver exceptional sound quality, versatility, and performance for musicians and bass players in various settings. This cabinet is particularly notable for its robust construction and the innovative technology that Behringer has incorporated into its design, making it a favored choice for both live performances and studio recordings.

One of the defining features of the BB410 is its impressive power handling capacity. With a power rating of up to 800 watts RMS, this cabinet can easily handle the demands of high-output bass amplifiers, ensuring that players can achieve the loud and punchy bass tones they desire without distortion. This is further complemented by its four 10-inch customized speakers, which deliver a deep and resonant low end that is essential for modern music genres.

The BB410 is equipped with a high-efficiency tweeter, which enhances the clarity and definition of higher frequencies. This integration allows for a well-balanced frequency response across the sonic spectrum, making it ideal for a range of musical styles from rock to jazz and beyond. Additionally, the built-in crossover ensures that the power sent to the tweeter is optimized, preventing any frequency overlap or distortion.

In terms of connectivity and versatility, the Behringer BB410 includes multiple inputs and outputs, allowing for easy integration into any rig. It features both speakON and 1/4-inch outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and signal chains. The cabinet's lightweight construction, thanks to the use of high-grade materials, ensures that it remains portable and easy to transport, ideal for gigging musicians.

Another hallmark of the BB410 is its sturdy design. The cabinet is built with a rugged plywood enclosure that not only withstands the rigors of travel and performance but also contributes to the overall sound quality by reducing unwanted vibrations. The stylish black finish and durable grille give it an aesthetic that complements any stage setup.

In summary, the Behringer BB410 bass cabinet stands out for its remarkable power handling, efficient speaker configuration, and robust construction. Its versatile connectivity options and balanced sound make it an essential piece of equipment for bass players seeking both reliability and great tonal quality. Whether on stage or in the studio, the BB410 delivers the performance that bassists need to make an impact.
