Behringer BG412S User Manual

Users Manual

Version 1.1 January 2001

Dear Customer,

Welcome to the team of ULTRASTACK users, and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the ULTRASTACK. Although it is really easy to hook up and operate the BG412S, we'd like to give you a concise description of this excellent speaker and its features in the following. Because of the special surround circuitry the acoustic source is well locatable and nevertheless remarkably spatial. Additionally, the specially angled front panel ensures an optimal dispersion pattern.

+ The ULTRASTACK can produce extreme sound pressure levels. Please note that high SPLs

do not only result in listening fatigue but can also permanently impair your hearing.

s Please mute the power amp before connecting the loudspeaker.

+ Never change the ULTRASTACK settings while the speaker is being driven, cause this could

damage the power amp.

s Set the ULTRASTACK to MONO to drive the BG412S from a single power amp. In this case, the speaker's

impedance is 8 Ohms. When connecting the speaker to a tube power amp, please use the corresponding connector on your amp or set the impedance selector switch to 8 Ohms. Use the ULTRASTACK's INPUT jack to connect the speaker cable.

s Now connect BG412S and amplifier. Don't use guitar or similar cables, use speaker cables with a

minimum diameter of 2.5 mm². You need one cable for mono operation, and two cables for stereo.

ENGLISH

s If you have two amplifiers or a stereo power amp, you can operate the BG412S in two-channel mode, by

setting the ULTRASTACK to STEREO. Now the speaker's impedance is 2 * 8 - 12 Ohms. To drive the BG412S from a tube amp, please take care to use the amp's proper connector. Connect the left channel of the power amp to LEFT, and the right channel to RIGHT.

+ Never operate a tube power amp without a load connected to it. If the impedance of the

connected speaker fails to match the amplifier's impedance, only a fraction of the available power will be delivered to the speaker, which could lead to overloading of the output transformer. Please refer to the operating instructions accompanying your amplifier.
