2. Veiligheidsmaatreëls

To prevent electric shock, fire, or damage to the unit, please read and follow all instructions carefully.

  • Kragbron: This cabinet is passive and does not require direct power. Ensure any connected amplifier is properly grounded and uses the correct voltage.
  • Ventilasie: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow around the cabinet.
  • Water en vog: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or excessive humidity. Do not place objects filled with liquids on or near the unit.
  • Hitte: Hou die eenheid weg van hittebronne soos verkoelers, hitteregisters, stowe of ander toestelle wat hitte produseer.
  • Skoonmaak: Maak slegs skoon met 'n droë lap. Moenie vloeibare skoonmaakmiddels of aërosolskoonmakers gebruik nie.
  • Diens: Moenie probeer om hierdie produk self te onderhou nie. Verwys alle diens na gekwalifiseerde dienspersoneel.
  • Plasing: Place the cabinet on a stable, level surface to prevent it from falling.
  • Luidsprekerkabels: Use high-quality speaker cables with appropriate gauge for connections to prevent signal loss or damage.

4. Opstelling

Follow these steps to set up your VOX BC108 amplifier cabinet:

  1. Plasing: Position the BC108 cabinet on a stable surface. For optimal sound projection, consider placing it on the floor or on a sturdy stand.
  2. Koppel aan 'n Amplifier Head:

    Locate the speaker output jack on your amplifier head and one of the input jacks on the rear of the BC108 cabinet. Use a high-quality speaker cable to connect these two points. Ensure both the amplifier and the cabinet are powered off before making connections.

  3. Impedansiepassing: The BC108 has an impedance of 8 Ohms. Ensure your amplifier head's output impedance setting matches or is compatible with the cabinet's impedance to prevent damage to your amplewendiger.
  4. Parallel Speaker Jacks: The BC108 features two parallel speaker jacks. One jack serves as the input from your amplifier, and the other can be used to connect an additional speaker cabinet in parallel. When connecting two 8-Ohm cabinets in parallel, the total impedance presented to the ampdie versterker sal 4 Ohms wees. Maak seker dat jou amplifier can safely operate at this lower impedance.

5. Operasie

The BC108 is a passive speaker cabinet and its operation is directly controlled by the connected ampverligter kop.

  • Krag aan/af: Skakel jou amplifier head after all connections are securely made. Turn off the amplifier head before disconnecting any cables.
  • Volumebeheer: Adjust the volume and tone settings directly on your ampverligter kop.
  • Daisy-Chaining (Connecting Multiple Cabinets): If you wish to connect a second 8-Ohm cabinet, use a speaker cable to connect the second parallel jack on the BC108 to the input of the additional cabinet. Remember that this configuration will result in a 4-Ohm load for your amplewendiger.
