    THUMP210XT 10" 1400W ENHANCED COMPACT POWERED LOUDSPEAKER Gain Knobs [Ch. 1 and 2] If you haven’t already, please read the “Quick Start” section on page 7. Setting the gain correctly will ensure that the preamplifier’s gain is not too high, where distortion could occur, and not too low, where the quieter, exquisitely-delicate passages might be lost in background noise.

    THUMP210XT 10" 1400W ENHANCED COMPACT POWERED LOUDSPEAKER Main Volume Knob The volume knob adjusts the overall signal level at the input to the built-in power amplifiers. It ranges from Off (– ) to MAX (maximum gain). • Thump loudspeakers are designed to operate with a +10 dBu signal when all knobs are at the center position.

    THUMP210XT 10" 1400W ENHANCED COMPACT POWERED LOUDSPEAKER Music Ducking Have you been to an event where music was playing, then when someone spoke into the mic, that the music volume decreased greatly (but was still there)? That’s called “music ducking”! When the music ducking switch is engaged, the channel 2 level will decrease when a mic signal is present on channel 1.

    THUMP210XT 10" 1400W ENHANCED COMPACT POWERED LOUDSPEAKER HVAC Like their counterpart loudspeakers – the appropriately named Thump212XT and Thump215XT – the Thump210XT is also blessed with an excellent “HVAC” system. Read below for more information! MIST ON / OFF SPEED...

Heat Level If the temperature is the aforementioned “frigid”, we’re pretty confident that you’re going to want to crank the heat... perhaps not, but we’d bet on it! This works similarly to that of the fan speed with settings ranging from 1 (low heat) to 5 (cranked heat). Quickly press this button to what setting you would like, up to five times.

    THUMP210XT 10" 1400W ENHANCED COMPACT POWERED LOUDSPEAKER Final Thoughts Just a few final thoughts before we dive into a little more boring “techy”-type stuff.

    THUMP210XT 10" 1400W ENHANCED COMPACT POWERED LOUDSPEAKER Chapter 3 : Protection Circuitry Introduction ThumpXT loudspeakers employ a built-in limiter for less distortion at peak levels. A dynamic bass response circuit provides optimal low frequency response regardless of overall output level. Additional protection includes automatic thermal shutdown should the amp overheat.
