The SV8 delivers remarkable bass performance and
outstanding sound quality, in keeping with BASSBOSS
tradition. This single 8” loudspeaker compares to
others’ 12” loudspeakers for response and output.
The cabinet is made in the USA from 15mm Baltic Birch.
Every effort was made to deliver full, rich, smooth
sound from a very compact enclosure.
The SV8 is suitable for use as a studio monitor and
is equally at home in a live environment. It provides
extremely flat frequency response with a neutral
character for critical monitoring duties and it’s capable
of remarkably high output, especially for its size. A pair
of SV8s delivers extremely high fidelity sound with the
added bonus of high output plus the flexibility to extend
their output even further by adding a subwoofer or two.
A large port, positioned clear of the woofer grill,
provides deep response without port compression or air
velocity noise at high levels. The high-frequency horn
is mounted to its own baffle to eliminate reflections
from side-walls and is mounted clear of the grill to
ensure uncompromised sound quality. The rear-mounted
amplifier is protected by a set of integrated handles,
which make carrying the boxes a breeze and provide
clean, elegant lines to the enclosure. A standard 35mm
die-cast zinc pole socket is provided in the bottom of
the enclosure and there are four 3/8” threaded fly points
also provided.
The digital processor in the amplifier provides
4 presets, which allow the speaker to be used as a
full-range system, as a satellite for a small subwoofer
or as a main speaker with a larger subwoofer. Preset
1 has the SV8 in full-range mode, offering frequency
response to 40Hz with limiters engaged to prevent
overdriving. Preset 2 offers slightly more SPL and
response to 60Hz. Preset 3 provides another step up in
SPL with the high-pass filter moved to 80Hz. Preset 4
offers the highest peak SPL with the high-pass filter set
at 100Hz. Presets 3 and 4 are recommended when the
SV8 is used with a subwoofer.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Important information regarding safety and the use of your loudspeakers:
Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of causing a
sound pressure level detrimental to human health. Seemingly non-critical sound levels (from approx. 95 dB SPL) can cause hearing damage
if people are exposed to it over a long period. To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure, anyone who
is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices.
When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.
See the manual technical specifications to know the maximum sound pressure level.
In order to prevent accidents when setting up the loudspeakers or loudspeaker stands, make sure they are standing on a firm surface.
Ensure that all additional hardware, fixings and fasteners used for installation or mobile deployment are of an appropriate size and load
safety factor.
Pay attention to the manufacturers’ instructions and to the relevant safety guidelines.
Regularly check the loudspeaker housings and accessories for visible signs of wear and tear, and replace them when necessary.
Regularly check all load bearing bolts in the mounting devices.
Caution: Loudspeakers produce a static magnetic field even if they are not connected or are not in use. Therefore make sure when erecting
and transporting loudspeakers that they are nowhere near equipment and objects which may be impaired or damaged by an external
magnetic field. A distance of 3 feet (1m) should be maintained between loudspeakers and sensitive equipment such as CRT monitors or
magnetic storage media.
Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs that are not expressly described in this manual.
Contact your dealer or BASSBOSS support if the product is not functioning properly.
BASSBOSS strongly recommends this product be installed by a qualified, professional installer who can ensure correct installation and
certify that is is installed in compliance with the regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current local standards and regulations regarding electrical systems.
IMPORTANT NOTES
To prevent the occurrence of noise on signal cables, use shielded cables only. Avoid routing signal cables close to equipment that produces
high-intensity electromagnetic fields such as transformers, power cables and loudspeaker wires. Do not coil excess power cable. Do not coil
or wrap power cables and signal cables together.

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place loudspeaker in the desired location. Ensure that it is secure and stable.
2. Rotate the input attenuator knob counterclockwise to the lowest setting.
3. Connect signal via the XLR input jack.
4. Connect the amplifier module’s power supply cord using the blue PowerCON connectors. To insert, align the indexing tabs on the PowerCON
connector, insert it into the socket and rotate clockwise until the latch catches.
5. Connect the electrical plug to a power source.
6. Select the desired preset via the PGM SEL button.
7. Rotate the input attenuator clockwise to achieve the desired sound level.
System Setup Addendum:
When connecting multiple loudspeakers in a system, signal can be passed through from one powered loudspeaker to another using balanced, shielded XLR
cables. No processing is applied to the signal as it passes through from the input to the output connectors in each loudspeaker. Signal can be routed in
any sequence because each loudspeaker receives a full-range signal and applies the necessary processing in order to operate as part of the overall system.
It is recommended to run signal to the nearest box first and patch to the next nearest box in sequence.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If after following the above instructions for setup you have no output from the loudspeakers, please check the following:
Verify that the green power (PWR) LED is on. If not, check the following:
1. Is the power cord plugged into a live outlet?
2. Is the Neutrik PowerCON connector rotated into the locked position?
If the power LED is on, check the following:
Is the green “signal present” LED (SIG) illuminating? If not:
1. Is the signal cable connected to the input?
2. Is the signal cable connected to an operating output at the other end?
3. Is the signal flowing to the input? Check the integrity of the cable.
