BoomBox for Bowens Mount
BB-36DB BB-ST-1024
BB-48DB BB-ST-1255
INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up the BoomBox
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. BB-ST-1024 and BB-ST-1255 only: Adjust the
BoomBox’s orientation by loosening the adapter
ring's thumbscrew and rotating the BoomBox.
Tighten the thumbscrew until secure.
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 diuses 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 and BB-ST-1255 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:
1. Open the BoomBox, and screw the threaded end of the extension into the
shaft.
2. Attach the deflector to the extender with the thumbscrew.
Attaching the Diusers
The inner and outer diusers add two levels of diusion that soften and spread the
light for an even and flattering eect. The diusers can be used with or without
the deflector plate.
1. Attach the inner diuser by connecting the diuser’s clips to the elastic loops
inside the BoomBox.
2. Attach the outer diffuser by pressing the
touch-connect strips against the inner rim of
the BoomBox.

extension. Then close the BoomBox by carefully

Changing the Adapter Ring
Adapter Rings for Broncolor, Elinchrom, and Profoto
are available separately.
1. Three or four Philips screws and washers secure
the adapter ring to the BoomBox, depending
on your model. 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.
2. Slide the adapter ring out of the BoomBox.
3. Pull back the fabric and insert the replacement
adapter ring.
4. Replace the washers and screws, and tighten
them to secure the ring to the BoomBox.
