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

  • מאַכט מקור: This cabinet is passive and does not require direct power. Ensure any connected amplifier is properly grounded and uses the correct voltage.
  • ווענטילאַטיאָן: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow around the cabinet.
  • וואַסער און נעץ: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or excessive humidity. Do not place objects filled with liquids on or near the unit.
  • היץ: האַלט דעם אַפּאַראַט אַוועק פון היץ קוועלער ווי ראַדיאַטאָרן, היץ רעגיסטערס, אויוון, אָדער אַנדערע אַפּאַראַטן וואָס פּראָדוצירן היץ.

4. סעטאַפּ

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

  1. אָרט: Position the BC108 cabinet on a stable surface. For optimal sound projection, consider placing it on the floor or on a sturdy stand.
  2. קאַנעקטינג צו אַן 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. ימפּידאַנס ריכטן: 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 ampליפער.
  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 amplifier will be 4 Ohms. Ensure your amplifier can safely operate at this lower impedance.

5. אָפּעראַציע

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

  • מאַכט אויף / אַוועק: קער אויף דיין amplifier head after all connections are securely made. Turn off the amplifier head before disconnecting any cables.
  • באַנד קאָנטראָל: Adjust the volume and tone settings directly on your ampליפיער קאָפּ.
  • 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 ampליפער.
