  3. Adaptación de impedancia: 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 ampmás duradero.
  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. Operación

The BC108 is a passive speaker cabinet and its operation is directly controlled by the connected ampcabeza de elevador.

  • Encendido/apagado: Enciende tu amplifier head after all connections are securely made. Turn off the amplifier head before disconnecting any cables.
  • Control de volumen: Adjust the volume and tone settings directly on your ampcabeza de elevador.
  • 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 ampmás duradero.
