ULTRABASS BX1800
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
Your BX1800 was carefully packed at the factory, and the
packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage
that may have occurred during transit.
+
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to
BEHRINGER. Instead, notify your dealer and the
shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims
for damage or replacement may not be honored.
+
Always use the original packing carton to prevent
damage during storage or transport.
+
Make sure that no children are left unsupervised
with the BX1800 or its packaging.
+
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.
1.1.2 Initial operation
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling.
To avoid overheating, please do not place the ULTRABASS near
radiators and other equipment emanating heat.
+
Please keep in mind that all the equipment has to
be grounded at all times. For your own protection,
never change or disable the grounding on your
equipment or on the cables! The unit shall always
be connected to the mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.

2. WIRING TIPS
Figures 2.1 and 2.2 show you how to connect your bass to the
amplifier.
If you want to use an effects unit (for example, the BEHRINGER
X V-AMP PRO) to experiment with some out-of-the-ordinary
sounds, you can connect your bass directly to the input of the
unit. Then, connect a second cable from the effects output to the
input on your bass amp.
If you have an electronic tuner, please be sure to insert it pre
effects device, so that the tuner only receives a dry signal without
effects components.
X V-AMP PRO: no additional tuner required.
+
The built-in loudspeaker is disabled automatically
when you plug in the headphones.

Fig. 2.2 shows a recommended setup for amplifying the sound
of your BX1800 using a sound reinforcement system of any
size. This way, you can also use your amp for playing live or for
rehearsals with your band.
