BR SERIES BASS ENCLOSURES

INSTRUCTIONS

The BR series cabinets incorporate very efficient Low Frequency drivers delivering

accurate tone with high output.

Expect a deep resonate bass from these systems

along with a tight, punchy, slap & pop high-end. Extended mid range also makes

your bass sound alive.

• Titanium HF driver for crisp-slap highs

• Cross grain laminated multi-ply plywood enclosure construction

• Heavy internal bracing eliminates unwanted cabinet resonance

• Dado joints are assembled with 3000 lbs tensile strength glue

• 16 ga. perforated steel grill

• Tear resistant black Duratuff™ covering and recessed retractable handles

REAR CONNECT PLATE

Two standard 1/4" phone jacks and two high current

Speakon

™

connectors are featured.

One for connecting

to the power amp and the other for connecting to an

additional speaker system.

HORN ATTENUATION SWITCHES

The rear crossover panel features a set of attenuation switches to control the

volume of the 1” Titanium HF Driver.

This will allow you to turn the Driver full on or

reduce by 3dB increments to fine tune your treble response.

SPEAKER CABLES

12 gauge Speakon

™

speaker cables will provide a secure connection and high

current transfer of power to the speakers. You can also use standard 1/4" speaker

cables instead of the Speakon

™

cables provided they are at least 16 gauge. You can

DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using the unused OUTPUT

jack (right side) on your speaker jack plate.

Be sure to note the total impedance to

the amp so it is not lower than it’s recommended impedance.
