INSTRUCTIONS
BB-36DB
BB-48DB
Setting Up the BoomBox
- For Monolights and studio strobes with Bowens mounts, align the mounting tabs with the Bowens mount and insert the BoomBox into the Bowens mount. Turn the BoomBox clockwise until it locks.
- Open the BoomBox, and push the center ring over the shaft until it’s all the way in, just like an umbrella.
Tip: You may find it easier to hold the base of the shaft through the side
opening while pushing the center ring over it.
Optional: Attach the deflector plate to the shaft with the thumbscrew. The
deflector plate minimizes the hot spot at the center of the box and diffuses
the light for beauty dish-style wraparound light.
Try experimenting with the curved side of the deflector facing out or in, to
see which orientation gives you the lighting that’s best for your exposure.
Deflector Extension (BB-48DB Only)
The deflector extension moves the deflector further away from the BoomBox’s interior for a wider and more even light spread. To install the deflector on the extension, follow these steps:
- Open the BoomBox, and screw the threaded end of the extension into the shaft.
- Attach the deflector to the extender with the thumbscrew.
Attaching the Diffusers
The inner and outer diffusers add two levels of diffusion that soften and spread the light for an even and flattering effect. The diffusers can be used with or without the deflector plate.
- Attach the inner diffuser by connecting the diffuser’s clips to the elastic loops inside the BoomBox.
- Attach the outer diffuser by pressing the touch-connect strips against the inner rim of the BoomBox.
Removing the BoomBox
To remove the BoomBox from a Bowens mount:
- Press the light fixture’s Bowens release.
- Turn the BoomBox counterclockwise and remove it from the light.
- If necessary, remove the diffuser, deflector, and extension. Then close the BoomBox by carefully pulling on the center ring.
Changing the Adapter Ring
Adapter Rings for Broncolor, Elinchrom, and Profoto are available separately.
- Four Philips screws and washers secure the adapter ring to the BoomBox. Pull back the fabric, and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws and washers. Tip: The BoomBox fabric is stretched tightly around the ring. Don’t be afraid to use a little force to pull the fabric back to reveal the screws.
- Slide the adapter ring out of the BoomBox.
- Pull back the fabric and insert the replacement adapter ring.
- Replace the washers and screws, and tighten them to secure the ring to the BoomBox.
