2. Sikkerhedsforanstaltninger

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

  • Strømkilde: This cabinet is passive and does not require direct power. Ensure any connected amplifier is properly grounded and uses the correct voltage.
  • Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure adequate airflow around the cabinet.
  • Vand og fugt: Udsæt ikke enheden for regn, fugt eller for høj luftfugtighed. Placer ikke genstande fyldt med væsker på eller i nærheden af ​​enheden.
  • Varme: Hold enheden væk fra varmekilder såsom radiatorer, varmeregistreringsapparater, komfurer eller andre apparater, der producerer varme.
  • Rensning: Rengør kun med en tør klud. Brug ikke flydende rengøringsmidler eller aerosolrens.
  • Service: Forsøg ikke selv at servicere dette produkt. Overlad al service til kvalificeret servicepersonale.
  • Placering: Place the cabinet on a stable, level surface to prevent it from falling.
  • Højttalerkabler: Use high-quality speaker cables with appropriate gauge for connections to prevent signal loss or damage.

4. Opsætning

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

  1. Placering: Position the BC108 cabinet on a stable surface. For optimal sound projection, consider placing it on the floor or on a sturdy stand.
  2. Tilslutning til en 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. Impedanstilpasning: 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 amplivligere.
  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. Betjening

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

  • Tænd/sluk: Tænd for din amplifier head after all connections are securely made. Turn off the amplifier head before disconnecting any cables.
  • Lydstyrkekontrol: Adjust the volume and tone settings directly on your amplifier hoved.
  • 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 amplivligere.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your BC108 cabinet.

  • Rensning: Wipe the exterior of the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish.
  • Opbevaring: When not in use for extended periods, store the cabinet in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Inspektion: Periodically check speaker cables for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
