1. INTRODUCTION

By purchasing a BEHRINGER P Series loudspeaker, you have obtained an outstanding PA loudspeaker system. Now, you own (at least) one component of an expandable system that reproduces your music with a balanced and pure sound. Thanks to its numerous features, the P Series is the ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-suited for both small gigs and larger stages. We have brought it to life in order to offer you a complete selection of loudspeakers. In doing so, we have left open all the options for expanding your PA system. All loudspeakers feature professional inputs and outputs (compatible with Neutrik Speakon connectors), letting you flexibly expand your setup whenever you need to.

+The following instructions are intended to familiarize you with the specialized terminology used throughout this user manual in order for you to master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.

1.1Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

Your loudspeaker 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 units 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 of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

+Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to storage or shipping.

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

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

INFORMATION

+The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections.
