1. Before you get Started
1.1 Shipment
Your B212XL/B215XL 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.
◊ Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to
storage or shipping.
◊ Never let unsupervised children play with the B212XL/B215XL or with
its packaging.
◊ Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally
friendly fashion.
1.2 Initial operation
Your B212XL/B215XL speakers are connected to a power amplifier
using the speaker connectors located in the back. Please read ch. 4,
“Additional Considerations” and ch. 5, “Application Examples” to get important
technical information and practical suggestions about use.
This loudspeaker is capable of producing extreme volumes. Please keep in mind
that high sound pressures do not only temporarily damage your sense of hearing,
but can also cause permanent hearing damage. Be careful to select a suitable
volume at all times.

Fig. 2.1: Connections (B212XL and B215XL)
(1) The B212XL/B215XL features two professional speaker (1) connectors which
are wired in parallel. You can alternatively connect one of the connectors to
the output on your power amp and tap into the signal from the amp once
again on the second connector, in order, for example, to feed this signal
into an additional loudspeaker. The pin designation of the speaker is pins
1+ and 1-.
◊ ATTENTION: Never connect the output signals of different power
amps to both parallel inputs at the same time. This may permanently
damage your setup.
(2) The B212XL/B215XL includes 2, parallel ¼" loudspeaker (2) inputs. You can
alternatively connect one of the connectors to the output on your power amp
and tap into the signal from the amp once again on the second connector,
in order, for example, to feed this signal into an additional loudspeaker.
◊ When several loudspeakers are wired in parallel the overall impedance
Z
T
to be handled by the power amp can be calculated, as shown below,
from the individual impedance values of the connected speakers:
◊ Your amplifier may be damaged if the actual
impedance drops below its input impedance.
Please make sure that the calculated total
impedance Z
T
is not smaller than the minimum impedance specified for
your amplifier.
