The SV8 delivers remarkable bass performance and
outstanding sound quality, in keeping with BASSB SS
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. t 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 INF RMATI N
mportant 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.
n 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.
IMP RTANT N TES
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 INSTRUCTI NS
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.
The SV8 compact full-range loudspeaker’s DSP is supplied with 4 presets. All four presets contain limiter settings to ensure safe operation of
the unit. The presets are accessed in sequence via the preset select button on the rear of the unitA green LED indicates the active preset. The level knob
provides a range of control from OFF to +12dB within each preset.
Preset Functions:
Preset 1: Standalone Full-Range Operation.45Hz high-pass filter with bass boost EQ and conservative limiting.Recommended for use when no sub is available.
Preset 2: ntermediate Stand-Alone setting,60Hz high-pass with slight bass boost and limiting.Recommended for use with a single sub or when subwoofers
are separated from SV8s.
Preset 3: ntermediate High-output setting. 85Hz high-pass with limiting and no LF EQ. Recommended for use when subwoofers are co-located with SV8s.
Preset 4: Maximum Output Setting, 100Hz highpass,minimal limiting and no LF EQ. Recommended for use when outdoors and/or when multiple or larger
subwoofers are present.
Presets 2, 3 and 4 allow the SV8s to be combined with various subwoofer configurations and allow the sound to be tailored to different environments. t is
recommended to listen to the presets and choose the one that works best in each environment.
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. t is
recommended to run signal to the nearest box first and patch to the next nearest box in sequence.
TR UBLESH TING
f 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. f not, check the following:
1. s the power cord plugged into a live outlet?
2. s the Neutrik PowerCON connector rotated into the locked position?
f the power LED is on, check the following:
s the green “signal present” LED (S G) illuminating? f not:
1. s the signal cable connected to the input?
2. s the signal cable connected to an operating output at the other end?
3. s the signal flowing to the input? Check the integrity of the cable.
