Fender BXR Dual Bass 400 Owner Manual - Page 6

SUGGESTED SPEAKER ARRANGEMENTS There are an almost infinite number of speaker setups possible, what with the variety of speaker systems available. We will attempt to describe four typical situations. FIGURE 2 shows a common BI-AMP connection using two FENDER BXR-115's and two FENDER BXR-410's. This configuration is a good all around HIGH LEVEL system to cover the needs of most players. FIGURE 3 is another common connection favored by the bassist who wants extremely high level, and the ability to accommodate stereo signal processing. It should be noted that four 15" speakers haye 50% more cone area than two 18" speakers. FIGURE 4 illustrates one FENDER BXR SPECTRUM system operating in BI-AMP mode. With its 18" woofer, the SPECTRUM is ideal for five string bass. FIGURE 5 is an example of two FENDER BXR SPECTRUM's in the STEREO MODE, the ultimate system for the five string artist. PARALLEL SPEAKERS When speakers are connected in parallel, as in the example of FIGURE 2 (top BXR-410's or bottom BXR-115's), the impedance for two equal systems will halve, (system impedance divided by the number of systems in parallel equals the new impedance.) The minimum for the FENDER DUAL BASS 400 is 4 ohms per speaker jack. There is no maximum (if no speakers are connected, no harm will result).
