  2. Ho hokela ho Amplifier Head:

    Locate the speaker output jack on your amplifier head and one of the input jacks on the rear of the BC108 cabinet. Use a high-quality speaker cable to connect these two points. Ensure both the amplifier and the cabinet are powered off before making connections.

  3. Tšebelisano ea Impedance: 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 ampmoqhobi.
  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. Ts'ebetso

The BC108 is a passive speaker cabinet and its operation is directly controlled by the connected amphlooho ea lifier.

  • Tlosa/Tima: Bulela ea hau amplifier head after all connections are securely made. Turn off the amplifier head before disconnecting any cables.
  • Taolo ea Bolumo: Adjust the volume and tone settings directly on your amphlooho ea lifier.
  • 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 ampmoqhobi.
