Fig. 2.1.: Control elements and connections

You can connect a footswitch (e.g. MIDI FOOT

CONTROLLER FCB1010) to this 1/4" TS connector to

remotely enable/disable the tweeter. When the tweeter is

enabled, you get a harder, more direct sound (Hard Attack).

When the tweeter is disabled, the entire sound spectrum is

reproduced only on the bass speakers (Soft Attack).
The loudspeakers of the ULTRABASS series feature a

1/4"

connector in the INPUT/LINK section as well as two

professional speaker connectors (compatible with

NEUTRIK

SPEAKON

). All connectors are wired in parallel,

which means that all three connections are identical in their

function. Therefore, you can connect a second speaker to

the

link connector

output without going directly to the

amplifier. This way, you can utilize short cables and will

require no additional connectors on your amp.

Connecting several ULTRABASS cabinets via the

link

connector r

educes the input impedance: if you connect

two identical speakers, the impedance is reduced to

one half of the original value, with three speakers to a

third, and so on. Therefore, always keep in mind the

impedance value of your amplifier to avoid causing

damage by overloading. Ideally, the impedance of your

speakers corresponds to the impedance of your

amplifier. If the speaker has a higher impedance than

the amplifier, this will have no negative consequences

on the amp, but it wont be able to pass its full power to

the speaker. See chapter 4. INSTALLATION for more

information.

Attention! Never connect two amps to one BA810.

Otherwise, you may destroy both your amps and your

speakers.

This table shows the correct polarity of the connectors:
Plus pole (POS) = Tip (TIP) on the stereo jack or 1+ on the

professional speaker connector.
Minus pole (NEG) = Sleeve (SLV) on the stereo jack or

1- on the professional speaker connector.
