EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES

1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

By purchasing BEHRINGER EUROLIVE PERFORMER speakers,

you have obtained a first-class PA loudspeaker system. Now,

you own (at least) one component of an expandable system that

will reproduce the sound of your musical material unadulterated

and perfectly balanced.

Thanks to its numerous features, the EUROLIVE PERFORMER

SERIES is the ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-

suited both for small gigs and large stages. We have brought it to

life in order to offer you a complete range of loudspeaker choices.

In doing so, we have left open all the options for expanding your

PA system. All loudspeakers feature professional inputs and

outputs (compatible to Neutrik

®

Speakon

®

), letting you flexibly

expand your setup whenever you need to.

The following instructions are intended to

familiarize you with the specialized terminology

used throughout this user’s manual, so that you

can master all the functions. After having thoroughly

read the user’s manual, store it in a safe place for

future reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

Your EUROLIVE speakers were 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 units 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 of the unit.

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

EUROLIVE speakers or their packaging.

+

Please dispose of all packaging materials in an

environmentally friendly fashion.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Your EUROLIVE speakers are connected to a power amplifier

using the speaker connectors located in the back. Please read

ch. 5, “ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS” and ch. 6, “APPLICATION

EXAMPLES” to get important technical information and practical

suggestions about use.

+

Always make sure to mute your power amplifier

before connecting the speakers.

Fig. 1.1: Subwoofer connector panel (E1800X)

The EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES features professional

speaker connectors (compatible to Neutrik

®

Speakon

®

) that assure

problem-free operation. The Speakon

®

connector was developed

for loudspeakers with high power ratings. If it is connected into

the corresponding plug, it locks into place and cannot accidentally

be disconnected. It protects against electric shock and assures

correct polarity. Each of the plugs only carries the assigned

individual signal (see table 4.1/Fig. 1.2 and the insignia on the

back of the unit).

Please only use the commercially available Speakon

®

cables

(type NL4FC) to connect your loudspeakers to the power amp.

Verify the pin assignment of your loudspeakers and cables

depending on the loudspeaker output you are using.
