What's in the Box
Ampeg® Venture® VB-112, VB-115, VB-210, VB-212, or VB-410 Speaker Cabinet, and Quick Start Guide.
Hookup Examples
Standard / Daisy-Chain Setup
Parallel Setup
The Venture V7 and V12 amplifiers offer two Speaker Out jacks, allowing for the following parallel configuration. A parallel configuration is possible with the Venture V3 amplifier by using the Daisy-Chain setup shown
above.
NOTE: Use unshielded speaker cables for all connections between your amplifier and Venture speaker cabinets.
Use same impedance cabinets when using more than one cabinet in daisy-chain or parallel setups.

Getting Started
Please follow these steps to begin using a Venture speaker cabinet with your amplifier.
1. Read and understand the included Important Safety Instructions.
2. Make sure your amplifier’s Power switch is off before making any connections. Connect your Venture
speaker cabinet(s) to your amplifier as illustrated on the preceding page.
3. Insert the included line cord securely into the amplifier’s IEC connector. Plug the line cord into a
grounded AC outlet. The amplifier will accept the appropriate voltage as indicated on the rear panel.
4. Connect an instrument to the amplifier’s Input jack with a 1/4" (shielded) instrument cable.
5. With all controls fully off, turn the amplifier on by flipping the Power switch to "On."
6. While playing the instrument, adjust the Volume knob to the preferred level.
7. Adjust the EQ knobs and switches to taste.

The Venture VB-410 Rear Panel
Rear Panel Descriptions
The rear panel features and following descriptions are common for all Venture speaker cabinets, other than where
noted.
1. High Frequency Horn Level Control / Attenuator: All Venture cabs include a high frequency compression driver. The High-Frequency Attenuator three-position switch allows you to adjust the driver's level (-6
dB or 0 dB) or bypass it (Off).
2. Speaker Inputs: All Venture cabinets include two Neutrik® speakOn® - 1/4" combination jacks. It is
preferred to use the speakOn cable connection between your amplifier and cabinet, where possible,
due to the secure locking connection and superior high-current, low-noise performance. You can
optionally use a standard unshielded, 1/4" TS cable connection. Connect the speaker-level output of
your amplifier to the cabinet’s Speaker Input jack. Either of the cabinet’s jacks may be used as a single
input or as a “thru” connection to connect an additional cabinet.
The two Speaker Input jacks are wired in parallel.* If you're connecting thru to a second cabinet, make
sure the total speaker impedance load is 4 ohms or greater. For example, using a parallel connection,
you could connect two 8 ohm speaker cabinets, resulting in a 4 ohm total load. But you should not
connect two 4 ohm cabinets in parallel, since it results in a 2 ohm total load.
*NOTE: Always use matched impedance speaker cabinets when using more than one cabinet connected to your
amplifier.
Please also see the Ampeg Venture V3/V7/V12 Amplifiers Quick Start Guide, available at
ampeg.com/support/manuals/, or the user documentation for your amplifier that you are connecting to a Venture
speaker cabinet.
