5 EUROLIVE B2520 PRO/B1800X PRO/B1520 PRO/B1220 PRO User Manual
Introduction 1.
Thanks to its numerous features, the EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES is the
ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-suited both for small gigs and
large stages. We have brought it to life in order to offer you a complete range
of loudspeaker choices. In doing so, we have left open all the options for
expanding your PA system. All loudspeakers feature professional inputs and
outputs (compatible to Neutrik Speakon), letting you flexibly expand your setup
whenever you need to.
The following instructions are intended to familiarize you with the ◊
specialized terminology used throughout this user’s manual, so that
you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the
user’s manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.
Before you get started 1.1
Shipment 1.1.1
Your EUROLIVE speakers were carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure
secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage
may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical
indications of damage.
Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the ◊
dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the
transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit.
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to ◊
storage or shipping.
Never let unsupervised children play with the EUROLIVE speakers or ◊
their packaging.
Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally ◊
friendly fashion.
Initial operation 1.1.2
Your EUROLIVE speakers are connected to a power amplifier using the speaker
connectors located in the back. Please read ch. 5, “Additional Considerations”
and ch. 6, “Application Examples” to get important technical information and
practical suggestions about use.
Always make sure to mute your power amplifier before connecting ◊
the speakers.

The EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES features professional speaker connectors
(compatible to Neutrik Speakon) that assure problem-free operation.
The Speakon connector was developed for loudspeakers with high power ratings.
If it is connected into the corresponding plug, it locks into place and cannot
accidentally be disconnected. It protects against electric shock and assures
correct polarity. Each of the plugs only carries the assigned individual signal
(see table 4.1/Fig. 1.3 and the insignia on the back of the unit).
