ULTRABASS BB410 User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for expressing your confidence in our products by purchasing the

BEHRINGER ULTRABASS BB410. This cabinet is built with the outstanding

BUGERA bass speakers. The speaker cones are made of special high-quality paper

that provide rich bass tone and clear middle frequencies.
Bass players, who love the warm and direct sound of a classic paper cone,

will appreciate the high quality and workmanship as well as the extremely

high power output of these speakers. All these characteristics make your

ULTRABASS BB410 a high-value, dependable companion on the stage,

in the studio or in your practice room.

1.1 Shipment

The BB410 was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport.

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 equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform
the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well
as the transportation company from which you took delivery.
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

◊

Always use the original packing carton to prevent damage during
storage or transport.

◊

Never let unsupervised children play with the ULTRABASS or with
its packaging.

◊

Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally
friendly fashion.

1.2 Initial operation

Connect the ULTRABASS BB410 to a power amplifier using the speaker connectors

located in the back.

◊

Please make sure to completely lower the volume on your amp before
connecting it to the BB410.

Fig. 2.1: Control elements and connections

(1)

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).

(2)

The loudspeakers of the ULTRABASS series feature a 1/4" TS 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
reduces 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 won’t be able to pass its full power to the speaker.
See chapter 4. “Installation” for more information.

◊

Attention! Never connect two amps to one BB410. Otherwise, you may
destroy both your amps and your speakers.

(3)

This table shows the correct polarity of the connectors:

Plus pole (POS) = Tip (TIP) on the 1/4" TS connector or 1+ on the professional

speaker connector.

Minus pole (NEG) = Sleeve (SLV) on the 1/4" TS connector or 1- on the

professional speaker connector.

Please observe the illustrations 4.1 and 4.2.
