Control elements and connections

Introduction

Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in

BEHRINGER products by purchasing the EUROLIVE B212A/

B215A. This active and extremely compact loudspeaker has been

designed specifically for those applications in which space is a

problem. The compact dimensions and the low weight, despite

the high-performance power amp, as well as the option to mount

the loudspeaker on a wall give this product maximum flexibility.

The input section accepts both line-level or microphone-level

sources. Additionally, the loudspeaker has a 2-band equalizer

for accurate high and low-frequency control. All of these features

make this loudspeaker a high-quality and highly reliable companion

on the road.

Control elements and connections

Control elements and connections (B212A and B215A)

Fig. 2.1:

{1}

Use this 1/4" stereo jack to connect a signal source that has

1/4" output.

{2}

Use this XLR connector to connect a signal source that has

XLR output.
Always use either the XLR or the 1/4" jack input, and

use the LEVEL control {4} to adapt the input sensitivity.

Never use both inputs at the same time!

{3}

The LINK OUTPUT is directly connected to the inputs of the

B212A/B215A and carries the input signal with no processing

applied. In this way, you can route the signal to the input of

another device (for example, a second B212A/B215A).

{4}

To set the volume of the LINE or MIC signal, use the LEVEL

control. The left half of the control range is for attenuating

the LINE signal. The right half is for raising the level of the

MIC signal.

{5}

The CLIP LED lights up when signal distortion occurs.

Reduce the volume with the LEVEL control until the CLIP

LED does not light up any more, or occasionally lights up at

signal peaks.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that ex-

tremely loud sound levels may damage your hearing as

well as your headphones/loudspeakers. Turn the LEVEL

control fully to the left before you switch on the unit. Be

careful to select a suitable volume at all times.

{6}

The HIGH control adjusts the high-frequency range.

{7}

Use the LOW control to raise the level of the low-frequency

range.

{8}

The PWR LED lights up when the loudspeaker is put into

operation.
