Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no object filled with liquids, such as vases or beer glasses, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN!
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the prescence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of significant magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the prescence of important operating and maintaining (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
WARNING: Operation of THUMP in a residential environment could cause radio interference.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by LOUD Audio, LLC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.
This apparatus has been designed with Class-I construction and must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection (the third grounding prong).
The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, so the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
The equipment complies with FCC/IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
The use of apparatus is in tropical and/or moderate climates.
The maximum ambient temperature during use of the appliance must not exceed 45˚ C.
Operation frequency: 2400MHz – 2483.5MHz
RF POWER = <20dBm
This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Canada ICES-003(A)/NMB-003(A)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules [and contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s license-exempt RSS(s)]. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
this device may not cause harmful interference, and
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

Duration, per day in hours| Sound Level dBA, Slow Response| Typical Example
---|---|---
8| 90| Duo in small club
6| 92|
4| 95| Subway Train
3| 97|
2| 100| Very loud classical music
2.| 102|
1| 105| Ty screaming at Troy about deadlines
0.5| 110|
0.25 or less| 115| Loudest parts at a rock concert

WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
CAUTION — To prevent electric shock hazard, do not connect to mains power supply while grille is removed.

Getting Started

Read and understand the Important Safety Instructions on page 2.
Make all initial connections with the power switches OFF on all equipment. Make sure the master volume, level and gain controls are all the way down.
If not using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs on the rear panel of the loudspeakers.
If using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs on the rear panel of the subwoofer, then connect the high pass outputs from the subwoofer to the inputs of the loudspeakers.
Push the line cord securely into the subwoofer’s/ loudspeaker’s IEC connectors and plug the other ends into grounded AC outlets. The subwoofer/loudspeaker may accept the appropriate voltage as indicated near the IEC connector.
Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.
Turn the subwoofer on.
Turn the loudspeakers on.
Be sure that the volume of the input is the same as it would be during normal use.
Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s main L/R fader up to a comfortably loud listening level.
