Tapco THUMP TH-15A - Manual (Page 4)

Getting Started
The following steps will help
you set up your loudspeakers
quickly.
INITIAL SETTINGS:
1. Turn the LEVEL control on the rear panel
all the way down.
. Set the DIRECT/EQ switch out (DIRECT).
3. Turn the POWER switch OFF.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect the line-level signal from your
mixer (or other signal source) to the
IN jack on the TH-15A rear panel (XLR
connector).
. Connect the supplied AC power cord
to the IEC socket on the back of the
loudspeaker. Plug the other end into an
AC outlet properly configured with the
correct voltage as indicated just below
the IEC socket.
TURN IT ON:
1. Turn the POWER switch ON.
. Start your signal source (tape deck, CD,
DAW, or whatever), but leave the master
level control on your mixer down.
3. Slowly turn up the LEVEL control on the
TH-15A to the “U” (unity gain) mark at the
center position.
4. Adjust the master volume on your mixer
to a comfortably loud listening level. If
the volume from the speakers gets really
loud, really fast, try turning down the
LEVEL control on the TH-15As a bit. If the
speakers don’t get loud enough, turn
up the LEVEL control to achieve a good
balance of master volume control and
loudness from the speaker.
Now that you have your loudspeakers
working, it’s time to hunker down and read
the rest of this manual…especially the
following:
ADDITIONAL TIDBITS OF WIDSDOM:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged
periods. Please see the Safety Instructions
on page 2 for information on hearing
protection.
• When you shut down your equipment,
turn off the TH-15A loudspeakers first
to prevent thumps and other noises
generated by any upstream equipment
from coming out the speakers. When
powering up, turn on the TH-15As last.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing
materials! You may need them someday.
Besides, your cat will love playing in them
and jumping out at you unexpectedly.
Remember to pretend like you are
surprised!
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.
• Record the serial number in the space
provided on page 3, along with where
and when you bought it.
