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 O (– ) to MAX (maximum gain).
• Thump loudspeakers are designed to operate with a +0 dBu signal when all knobs are at the center position.
• Thump loudspeakers may accept up to a +20 dBu signal by turning down the channel gain in line mode.
• Turning the main knob past center position will provide enough gain to connect a microphone directly.
Most microphones will want the knob somewhere around the 9:00 position. For safety, if you’re plugging
in a mic, start with the volume o and gradually rotate it clockwise until you achieve the desired volume...
and be on the lookout for the dreaded shriek of the feedback monster.
Voicing Modes
The voicing mode allows you to change the Thump’s voicing to tailor it to best suit your particular application.
Press the voicing mode button repeatedly until the LED of the voicing mode you desire is illuminated.
The four voicing modes are as follows:
• MUSIC Voicing Mode – This plug-and-play mode is perfect for listening to mastered music and is optimized
to maintain tonal balance at peak output volume.
• LIVE Voicing Mode – This mode works well for singer-songwriters, as it features an upper bass parametric scoop
to reduce unwanted low frequency color and adds boost to upper mid-range and high frequencies.
• CLUB Voicing Mode – This mode is full range, but focuses on increased bass and brilliant high frequencies.
This is the place to start for most DJ / music playback applications.
• MONITOR Voicing Mode – Monitor mode was tailored to reduce excess low frequency output when coupled with the ground,
while also reducing mid-range bite for the artist(s).
This mode should only be engaged when the speaker is in its monitor orientation on a stage or floor... if not,
the low-end will sound very lean.
• À La Mode – This mode features any of the aforementioned voicing modes, but with a scoop of ice cream.
Outdoor Mode
Regarding outdoor mode... in a sentence, choose whether you are using the loudspeaker inside or outside.
The speaker’s voicing is altered to the environment. That’s all you need to know, but we’re going to give you more!
When speakers are outside, a combination of low and high frequencies don’t build up the way they do inside.
ThumpXT corrects for that by boosting the frequency ranges that become deficient so the speaker sounds
the same outside as when it’s inside. You make the selection, we’ll do the rest!
The outdoor mode LED will illuminate green when engaged (outdoors).
