3.1 | INPUTS & CONTROLS

AUDIO I/O LINE INPUT LINE INPUT AUX IN STEREO 1 2 3 4 LINE OUTPUT LINE OUTPUT TAPE INPUT

1 LINE INPUT L/R

Balanced line level inputs, with COMBO (XLR-F + 6,35mm. socket) connectors; by connecting one cable to L (MONO) input, the signal is internally processed as mono. These inputs level is adjusted by MAIN LEVEL knob. Anyway both inputs allows the connection by unbalanced cables.

NOTE: Please try to always use balanced cables. In any case, don't use a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced cable for the other channel.

2 LINE OUTPUT L/R

Linking outputs of the respective LINE INPUT L/R signals on XLR-M sockets. The signals of these outputs depend on the setting of the MAIN LEVEL knob.

AUDIO CONTROLS MAIN LEVEL SUB LEVEL -∞ dB +10 5 6 9 10 STEREO MONO 0° 180° GND 7 8 11

3 AUX IN STEREO

This 3.5mm. stereo input accepts the signal cable from external devices, such as a smartphone, tablet, PC or any other device with a stereo mini-jack output.

4 TAPE INPUT L/R

Unbalanced stereo line input with RCA L/R sockets. Connect the output of a hi-fi device (CD player) or other device with RCA L/R outputs to these sockets. The volume of this stereo input is adjusted via the MAIN LEVEL knob.

BHS SERIES

5 MAIN LEVEL

This control adjusts the output volume of the system. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to lower it. For optimal adjustment always evaluate the acoustics of the environment and the musical genre.

6 SUB LEVEL

This control adjusts the output volume of the subwoofer and allows you to balance the low frequency level, based on the acoustics of the venue. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

7 SIG/CLIP LED

Green LED: the signal is present in MAIN channel. Red LED: the input signal is very strong and it's close to distortion. If the red LED flashes continuously it's necessary to reduce the MAIN LEVEL or reduce the levels of the devices connected to the LINE / AUX / TAPE inputs.

CAUTION: the system must never work with levels causing the CLIP red LED to light up almost constantly.

8 ON LED

This switch allows to select the system listening configuration in two different modes: STEREO or MONO.

- Place the switch on MONO when connecting one cable to LINE INPUT L only, or when you desire to listen in MONO; in this case all stereo signals present in inputs are internally summed.

- Place the switch on STEREO when you use the system in a standard configuration; in this case all the stereo signals present in inputs are addressed to respective right and left speaker.

10 SUB PHASE (0°-180°)

Press this switch to invert by 180 degrees subwoofer phase, thus compensating any phase cancellation due to venue acoustic, presence of more subwoofers or to satellites with non-standard phase.

11 GND

Press this switch to reduce or eliminate electrical ground noise when connecting signal lines between several appliances. It is very effective for eliminating ground loops, but the actual result depends also on other connected devices.

12 SATELLITE OUT L/R

Power outputs on 2-pole SpeakON connector for connection to the speakers.

Use the SpeakON cables supplied with the system to send the signal to left and right speakers.

CAUTION: Do not connect other speakers with different impedance to these outputs. The use of speakers not suitable for the amplifier's load capacity can irreversibly damage the unit.

13 SATELLITE INPUT L/R

Speaker input on 2-pole SpeakON connector. These inputs must be connected to the SATELLITE OUT power output of the corresponding left or right channel.

14 SIDE RECESSED HANDLE - SUBWOOFER

Use these handles (Fig.1) for transporting and positioning the subwoofer. Do not use them to fly the subwoofer or to lock it in any position.

15 REAR RECESSED HANDLES - SPEAKERS

Use this handle to transport and position the system satellites. Do not use them to fly the speakers on the wall, the ceiling or to lock in any position the satellites.

3.2 | POWER SUPPLY

1

MAINS INPUT: 220-240V\~ 50-60Hz
FUSE: T4AL 250V\~

IEC mains socket with integrated EMI filter. Each package is supplied with the necessary power cord, specific for your area. Insert the mains cable into this socket, but make sure the system is switched off before connecting the cable to the mains. For your safety, never disconnect the ground lead.

WARNING!

Never remove the front protection grille. To prevent the risk of electric shock, in case of accidental damage or replacement of the protection grille (to be carried out by service centers only), immediately disconnect the power supply.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, never connect the power supply to the appliance while the grille is removed.

2 FUSE

Protection fuse integrated in mains socket.

CAUTION: Replace the fuse only with one of the same type and with the same value. If the fuse blows repeatedly, contact an authorized service center.

3 POWER ON/OFF

Use this switch to turn ON/OFF the system. NOTE: For proper operation always switch on the system last and switch it off first. Before turning on the system, make sure the MAIN LEVEL knob is at minimum.

4 COOLING FAN AND VENTILATION SLOTS

If prThe cooling process of the amplifier and temperature control within laws limits are ensured by proper ventilation of the system, thus it's recommended to don't obstruct or cover in any way subwoofer rear cabinet ventilation slots.

DO NOT COVER, KEEP IT CLEANI DO NOT COVER, KEEP IT CLEANI

4 | INSTRUCTIONS FOR SYSTEM ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY

For system installation and to guarantee the correct operation, always carefully respect following instructions:

• Place the subwoofer in a vertical position on a flat and stable surface, making sure that all the rubber feet are perfectly adherent to the floor or to the supporting surface.
• Never install the system on mobile carts, chairs, tables or similar surfaces which are not stable and cannot bear the weight.
• To allow proper amplification heat dissipation, please leave the needed distance between the rear panel of the subwoofer and other objects such as walls, corners, curtains. Never place the unit near heat sources of any kind.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots located on subwoofer rear cabinet.
