1. Introduction

Thanks to its numerous features, the EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES is the ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-suited both for small gigs and large stages. We have brought it to life in order to oer you a complete range of loudspeaker choices. In doing so, we have left open all the options for expanding your PA system. All loudspeakers feature professional inputs and outputs (compatible to Neutrik Speakon), letting you exibly expand your setup whenever you need to.

◊ The following instructions are intended to familiarize you with the

specialized terminology used throughout this user’s manual, so that you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

Your EUROLIVE speakers were carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transpor t. 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 direc tly 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 EUROLIVE speakers or

their packaging.

◊ Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally

friendly fashion.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Your EUROLIVE speakers are connected to a power amplier using the speaker connectors located in the back. Please read ch. 5, “Additional Considerations” and ch. 6, “Application Examples” to get important technical information and practical suggestions about use.

◊ Always make sure to mute your power amplifier before connecting

the speakers.

The EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES features professional speaker connectors (compatible to Neutrik Speakon) that assure problem-free operation. TheSpeakon connector was developed for loudspeakers with high power ratings. If it is connected into the corresponding plug, it locks into place and cannot accidentally be disconnected. It protects against electric shock and assures correct polarity. Each of the plugs only carries the assigned individual signal (seetable 4.1/Fig. 1.3 and the insignia on the back of the unit).

Fig. 1.3: Speakon connector

Please only use the commercially available Speakon cables (type NL4FC) toconnect your loudspeakers to the power amp. Verify the pin assignment of your loudspeakers and cables depending on the loudspeaker output you areusing.

1.1.3 Online registration

Please register your new BEHRINGER equipment right after your purchase by visiting http://behringer.com and read the terms and conditions of our warrantycarefully.
