Operating Modes
BI-AMPING and PASSIVE Operation (B1800X PRO)
The EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES subwoofer can run in two ways: in PASSIVE and BI-AMPING mode. The B1800X PRO can be switched from BI-AMPING to PASSIVE by using the switch located in the back. For all applications, your EUROLIVE speakers are connected using the speaker inputs.
The subwoofer features an internal crossover. Running the B1800X PRO in passive mode makes it ideally suited for working together with the 2-way B1220 PRO, B1520 PRO and B2520 PRO systems. This way, you achieve an absolutely balanced sound characteristic. However, if you select the BI-AMPING mode, your subwoofer can be combined with other EUROLIVE 2-way systems. The BI-AMPING operating mode offers several primary advantages: lower distortion, greater flexibility of signal transmission as well as an improved overall performance of your system. The PASSIVE operating mode has the advantage of requiring no additional crossovers in order to keep the subwoofer’s frequency range within its limits.

Looping Through the Subwoofer Signal (B1800X PRO)
The B1800X PRO subwoofer from the EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES features two speaker connectors. In BI-AMPING mode, the PINS 2-/2+ of the input are connected directly with the speaker. PINS 1-/1+ of the input are connected to the PINS 1-/1+ of the output and the signal can be simply looped through.

PARALLEL Input (B1220 PRO, B1520 PRO and B2520 PRO)
The EUROLIVE B1220 PRO, B1520 PRO and B2520 PRO loudspeakers feature two speaker inputs laid out in parallel. You can alternatively connect one of the connectors to the output on your power amp and tap into the signal from the amp once again on the second connector, in order to, for example, feed this signal into an additional loudspeaker. This way, you can create stacks consisting of speakers with different impedance values.

Feed the full-range signal to the input PINS 1-/1+. The high-pass signal can be tapped into at the output PINS 1-/1+. PINS 2-/2+ serve as a signal loop through Subwoofer (BI-AMPING)
Connect the subwoofer signal to PINS 2-/2+
PINS 1-/1+ of the input are connected to PINS 1-/1+ of the output, and can be used to loop the signal through
In general, when in BI-AMPING mode, PINS 1-/1+ and PINS 2-/2+ are looped through
