Behringer B2520 PRO Speaker User Manual


 
EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES
Introduction4
Introduction1.
By purchasing BEHRINGER EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL
speakers, you have obtained a rst-class PA loudspeaker system.
Now, you own (at least) one component of an expandable system
that will reproduce the sound of your musical material unadulte-
rated and perfectly balanced.
Thanks to its numerous features, the EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL
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 exibly 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.
Before you get started1.1
Shipment1.1.1
Your EUROLIVE speakers were carefully packed at the assembly
plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the card-
board 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 da- +
mage 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 environ- +
mentally friendly fashion.
Initial operation1.1.2
Your EUROLIVE speakers are connected to a power amplier
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 amplier before +
connecting the speakers.

The EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL 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 indi-
vidual signal (see table 4.1/Fig. 1.3 and the insignia on the back
of the unit).
Speakon connectorFig. 1.3:
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.
