Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but
nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a
period of time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following
chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in
some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of
producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is
in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn
when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure
is in excess of the limits set forth here:

streaming, and wireless control via the Thump Connect 2 app.
Most importantly, Thump GO will amplify the real you
with clear, punchy, and accurate sound wherever you
call your stage. Take the performance of the renowned
Thump Series anywhere, with the Thump GO Portable
Battery-Powered Loudspeaker.
How to Use This Manual:
Afer this introduction, a getting started guide will help
you get things set up fast. The hookup diagrams show
some typical Thump GO loudspeaker setups, including
some that involve the Thump 8S subwoofer.
This icon marks information that is critically
important or unique! For your own good, read and
remember them...it is a good idea to pay special
attention to these areas in the Owner’s Manual
marked with the “VERY IMPORTANT” hand icon.
There’s an illustration of a microscope,
so, of course, you’re going to get more
detailed information when you see this
little guy. There are explanations of
features and practical tips listed here.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to text displayed
next to a note icon, as this icon draws attention
to certain features and functions relating to
the usage of the Thump GO.
The following steps will help you set up the Thump GO quickly.
. Make all initial connections with the power switches
OFF on all equipment. Make sure the master volume,
level and gain controls are all the way down.
2. If not using a subwoofer, connect the outputs
from the mixing console (or other signal source)
to the inputs on the rear panel of the loudspeakers.
3. If using a subwoofer, connect the outputs from
the mixing console (or other signal source) to the inputs
on the subwoofer, then connect the high pass outputs
from the subwoofer to the inputs of the loudspeakers.
4. Push the line cord securely into the subwoofer’s /
loudspeaker’s IEC connectors and plug the other ends into
grounded AC outlets. The subwoofer/loudspeaker may accept
the appropriate voltage as indicated near the IEC connector.
5. Turn the mixer (or other signal source) on.
6. Turn the subwoofer on (if applicable).
7. Turn the loudspeakers on.
8. Make sure the loudspeaker’s channel gain knob(s)
are set to mic or line.
9. Be sure that the volume of the input is the same
as it would be during normal use.
0. Start the signal source and raise the mixer’s main
L/R fader up to a comfortably loud listening level.
Things to Remember:
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods. Please see
the Safety Instructions on page 2 for information on hearing
protection.
• As a general guide, the mixer (or other signal source) should
be turned on first, subwoofers next, and the Thump GO
last. As such, the Thump GO should also be turned o first,
followed by the subwoofers, then the mixer. This will reduce
the possibility of any turn-on or turn-o thumps and other
noises generated by any upstream equipment from coming
out of the speakers.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials! You may
need them someday. Besides, the cats will love playing
in them and jumping out at you unexpectedly. Remember
to pretend like you are surprised!
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.
Please write the serial numbers here for future reference
(i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization,
make dad proud, etc.)

Hookup Diagrams
Thump GO loudspeakers are the perfect tool for singer-songwriters touring the local coee shops.
Bring your favorite axe and mic, Thump GO loudspeakers and cables and power cords.
In this example, a Mackie EM-89D dynamic microphone is connected to the channel  input of a Thump GO,
used for monitoring purposes. The gain knob should be set to mic and the mic/line switch engaged (mic).
Now grab your axe and plug it directly into the channel 2 input. Or if you use eects, connect the guitar to the eects
input and another cable from the eects output to the channel 2 input. The gain knob should be set to line and the mic/line
switch disengaged (line).
Another Thump GO loudspeaker will be used for the main PA. Simply connect a cable from the Thump GO monitor’s
THRU jack to the Thump GO PA’s channel  input.
For the output, you will want to set a voicing mode, described in detail on page 0-. For this type of setup, ‘Music’
works well for the main Thump GO. Select the ‘Monitor’ mode for the Thump GO monitor.

House Parties / BBQ / Karaoke / Picnic System
Hookup Diagrams continued…
Thump GO loudspeakers are great for house parties, BBQs, karaoke competitions and picnics, too!
In this example, we connected a Mackie EM-89D dynamic microphone to the channel  input of a Thump GO. The gain knob
should be set to mic and the mic/line switch engaged (mic). Additionally, a phone is connected to channel 2’s /8" input
for music playback. The gain knob of this input should be set to line. The volume of the phone should be up, as well.
Another Thump GO loudspeaker will be used for extra “punch”. Simply connect a cable from the first Thump GO’s
THRU jack to the other Thump GO’s channel  input. The gain knob of this input should be set to line.
For the output, you will want to set a voicing mode, described in detail on page 0-. For this type of setup, ‘Music’
works well for both Thump GO loudspeakers.
Now here’s where it could get interesting... I’m talkin’ cables, baby (or rather, the lack thereof). Cables may be accidentally
removed and/or intermittent (at best) and injury – even death (at worst) – could occur. All it takes is one person to catch
it on their foot and trip. Ah, how devastating, but... there are solutions!
First, we would suggest using the EM Wave XLR transmitter / receiver system. Now you have a wireless mic!
Next, instead of connecting the phone to the channel 2 /8" jack, just connect via Bluetooth. Boom, another cable gone!
The final cable is attached from the first Thump GO Thru output to the second Thump GO channel  input.
However, you can link the Thump GO loudspeakers together and set aside that third and final cable to go totally
wireless! Heck, if the batteries are charged, you won’t even need the power cables!
But wait, there’s more! Thump GO loudspeakers have three additional features that are worth discussing here: Outdoor Mode,
Music Ducking and Feedback Eliminator. Outdoor Mode may be engaged if one (or both) loudspeakers are outside.
Levels may be easily raised and lowered via the Thump Connect 2 App. Music Ducking should be engaged if someone
will be speaking while music is playing in the background. It should not be engaged during a karaoke battle royale, though.
Lastly, it’s always a good idea to engage the Feedback Eliminator. More information about all of these features (and then
some) may be found on the following pages.

In this example, a ProFX0v3 mixer is connected directly to two Thump GO loudspeakers. It is the perfect setup for a small
club. Simply connect the L/R outputs of the ProFX0v3 mixer to the channel  input of each Thump GO loudspeaker.
The gain knob on both should be set to Line. Don’t forget to set the Voicing Mode on both loudspeakers to ‘Music’!
If you desire a little more boom, add a Thump 8S subwoofer to the mix. Here, the L/R outputs of a ProFX0v3 mixer
are connected directly to the channel A and B inputs of the Thump 8S subwoofer. Then the High-Pass Outs of the subwoofer
are connected to the channel  inputs of a pair of Thump GO loudspeakers. The gain knob on both should be set to Line.
Here you will want to set the Voicing Mode to ‘Music’.

Thump GO loudspeakers may be daisy-chained via the male XLR connector labeled “THRU”. Simply plug the signal
source (i.e., mixer output or microphone) into the input jack(s), and patch that loudspeaker’s thru jack to the next
loudspeaker’s input jack, and so on, daisy-chaining multiple Thump GO loudspeakers. See above for visual representations
of daisy-chaining.
NOTE: Make sure to set the gain knob(s) correctly. In the top diagram, all input channes are set to “LINE”
and in the bottom diagram, input channel  of the first Thump GO is set to “MIC”, but the remaining ones should be set
to “LINE”. Keep in mind that these “MIC” and “LINE” markings are for reference only and may need to be raised or lower.

Thump GO: Rear Panel Features
Thump Connect 2 App
The Thump GO is designed to be used
in conjunction with the Thump Connect 2 App.
With it, all of the hardware features listed here –
and more! – may be controlled remotely via Bluetooth
connection. The only thing the Thump Connect 2 App
can’t do is turn the Thump GO on and o.
More information about the Thump Connect 2 App
may be found by visiting the Thump Connect 2 App
Reference Guide.
. Power Connection
This is a standard 3-prong IEC power connector.
Connect the detachable power cord (included in
the packaging with the Thump GO) to the power
receptacle, and plug the other end of the power
cord into an AC outlet.
Make sure that the AC power is matched
to the AC power indicated on the rear panel
(near the IEC receptacle).
Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is
dangerous. Don’t do it!
2. Power Switch
Press the right side of this rocker switch inwards
to turn on the Thump GO. Press the lef side of this
rocker switch inwards to turn o the Thump GO.
As a general guide, the mixer (or other
signal source) should be turned on first,
subwoofers next, and loudspeakers last.
As such, the loudspeakers should also be turned
o first, followed by the subwoofers, then the mixer.
This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on or
turn-o thumps and other noises generated by any
upstream equipment from coming out of the speakers.
3. XLR and /4" Combo Input Jacks
Input channels  and 2 may accept a balanced XLR
connector. Both channels accept line-level inputs,
but only channel  accepts a mic. They are wired
as follows, according to standards specified by
the AES (Audio Engineering Society).
XLR Balanced Wiring:
Pin  = Shield (ground)
Pin 2 = Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 = Negative (– or cold)

In addition to accepting a balanced mic signal
using an XLR connector, these input channels may
also accept /4" line-level signals driven by balanced
or unbalanced sources.
To connect balanced lines to these inputs, use
a /4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug. “TRS” stands
for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, the three connection points
available on a stereo /4" or balanced phone jack
or plug. TRS jacks and plugs are used for balanced
signals and are wired as follows:
/4" TRS Balanced Mono Wiring:
Sleeve = Shield
Tip = Hot (+)
Ring = Cold (–)
To connect unbalanced lines to these inputs,
use a /4" mono (TS) phone plug, wired as follows:
/4" TS Unbalanced Mono Wiring:
Sleeve = Shield
Tip = Hot (+)
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier
directly to a Thump GO input jack. This could
damage the input circuitry!

4. /8" Input Jack [Ch. 2]
This input channel may accept an /8" line-level
signal from a phone, tablet, MP3 player, or other signal
source.
NEVER connect the output of an amplifier
directly to a Thump GO’s input jack.
This could damage the input circuitry.
The /8" line-level connection may be used
simultaneously with channel 2’s combo
jack – XLR or /4" – and/or Bluetooth
connection. In other words, if there is a physical
connection to the /8" line input, another physical
connection to the combo jack AND a device is
connected via Bluetooth, none of those inputs
will be interrupted. An easy way to look at it is...
there are extra inputs! The /8" line-level connection
and XLR (or /4") connection sum together
and do not override each other.
5. Mic / Line Switch [Ch. ]
Because an XLR connector may be connected
to a mic or an instrument, this switch adjusts
the channel’s input sensitivity to optimize channel 
for mic or line-level signals. If a mic is connected,
this switch should be engaged and the gain knob –
more below – set to mic. If an instrument is connected
to channel  (via XLR), this switch should be
disengaged and the gain knob set to line.
6. Gain Knobs [Ch.  and 2]
If you haven’t already, please read the “Quick Start”
section on page 4. Setting the gain correctly will ensure
that the preamplifier’s gain is not too high, where
distortion could occur, and not too low, where
the quieter, exquisitely-delicate passages might
be lost in background noise.
The gain knobs – in conjunction with the overload
LED – adjust the input sensitivity of the mic [Ch. ]
and line inputs. This allows signals from the outside
world to be adjusted to run through each channel
at optimal internal operating levels.
If the signal originates through the mic XLR jack,
there will be 0 dB of gain with the knob fully down,
ramping to 40 dB of gain fully up, with unity gain “U”
at 2:00.
Through the /4" line inputs, there is –20 dB
of attenuation fully down and +20 dB of gain fully
up, with unity gain “U” at 2:00.
If connecting mixer outputs to Thump GO
inputs, set the gain knobs to 9:00 [“LINE”]
for optimal sound and performance.
Keep in mind that these “MIC” and “LINE”
markings are for reference only and may
need to be raised or lower.
7. Thru Jack
This is a balanced male XLR-type connector
that produces a mono-summed pre-DSP mix
from all input jacks. It is not aected by the main
volume. Use it to connect an additional Thump GO
or subwoofer o of the same signal source.
It is wired as follows, according to standards
specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society):
Balanced XLR Output Connector
Pin  – Shield (ground)
Pin 2 – Positive (+ or hot)
Pin 3 – Negative (– or cold)
8. Main Knob
The level knob adjusts the overall signal level
at the input to the built-in power amplifiers.
It ranges from – (o, knob fully down) up
to max (+6 dB, knob fully up), with unity gain
at the center position (2 o’clock).
• Thump GO is designed to operate with a +4 dBu
average line signal when the main knob and the line
input gain are at the center position (unity).
• Thump GO may accept up to a +20 dBu line signal
by turning down the line input gain accordingly
(with the Ch.  mic / line switch disengaged – line).
If the overload LED illuminates, slowly turn down
the input gain until the warning disappears.
• If the Ch.  mic / line switch is engaged [mic],
turning up the channel  gain knob will provide
enough gain to connect a microphone directly.
Start with the main at the center position,
and don’t be afraid to crank the channel  mic gain.
9. Voicing Modes
The voicing mode allows you to change the
Thump GO’s voicing to tailor it to best suit your
particular application. Press the voicing mode
button repeatedly until the LED of the voicing
mode you desire is illuminated.
The four speaker modes are as follows:
• MUSIC Voicing Mode – This mode is full range,
but focuses on increased bass and brilliant high
frequencies. This is the place to start for most DJ /
music playback applications.
• SPEECH Voicing Mode – This mode features
a significant low frequency roll-o to attenuate
low-end vocal boom. It also adds boost to high

frequencies – critical for speech intelligibility – and
notches part of the spectrum where feedback squeal
commonly lives. Additionally, a dedicated compressor
engages in this mode to help control the aggressive
dynamics generated by speech. This process chain
is perfect for applications where highly amplified,
intelligible speech is the desired output.
• MONITOR Voicing Mode – Monitor mode
was tailored to reduce excess low frequency output
when coupled with the ground, while also reducing
mid-range bite for the artist(s).
This mode should only be engaged when
the speaker is in its monitor orientation
on a stage or floor... if not, the low-end
will sound very lean.
• SUB Voicing Mode – This mode rolls o a little
bit of the low end so you get approximately 3 dB
of extra output from the Thump GO. If you are also
using the Thump GO to high-pass the signal to be sent
to a subwoofer – instead of using the high-pass out
of a subwoofer – then you can use this mode in place
of ‘Music’ mode to benefit from the extra output.
• MEGAPHONE Voicing Mode – This mode
automatically amplifies the overall output.
Megaphone is the voicing mode to select when
“quiet talkers” are giving a speech or presentation.
• WHISPER Voicing Mode – This mode automatically
reduces the overall output. Whisper is the voicing
mode to select when exceptionally “loud talkers”
are essentially shouting a speech or presentation.
0. Outdoor Mode
Regarding outdoor mode... in a sentence, choose
whether you are using Thump GO inside or outside.
The speaker’s voicing is altered to the environment.
That’s all you need to know, but we’re going to give
you more!
When speakers are outside, a combination
of low and high frequencies don’t build up
the way they do inside. Thump GO corrects
for that by boosting the frequency ranges that
become deficient so the speaker sounds the same
outside as when it’s inside. You make the selection,
we’ll do the rest!
The outdoor mode LED will illuminate green when
engaged (outdoors).

. Music Ducking
Have you been to an event where music was playing,
then when someone spoke into the mic, that the music
volume decreased greatly (but was still there)? That’s
called “music ducking”!
When the music ducking switch is engaged,
the channel 2 level will decrease when a mic signal
is present on channel . Additionally, the LED will
illuminate green. As if by magic, once the speaking is
completed, the music will return back to its previous
level. True wizards, those engineers... and none of them
have long grey beards, robes and pointy hats.
The audio nerds out there might like
to know that the channel 2 level decreases
by 5 dB when a mic signal is present
in channel  (and when auto-ducking
is engaged, of course).
2. Feedback Eliminator
The multi-band feedback eliminator hunts
down oending feedback frequencies and applies
up to six notch filters automatically to destroy
feedback and maximize gain prior to feedback.
This is a great tool for when an engineer is not present.
• O [Default] – The feedback eliminator is not
engaged. If filters have been applied, this setting will
retain its current filter settings if there are any, but they
will not be engaged until it is turned back on.
• On – When the automatic feedback eliminator is
turned on, scanning occurs continuously. The six filters
will engage sequentially when feedback is present until
all are used and then it will be locked. If feedback is
identified on an existing filter, the notch will deepen in
three steps to further destroy the oending feedback
frequency. Pretty cool, huh?! The LED will illuminate
green when engaged.
The feedback eliminator ONLY aects
channel  (mic and line mode).
When two Thump GO loudspeakers
are linked together in stereo mode,
the feedback eliminator should only
be engaged on the primary Thump GO.
3. Front LED
There is a single horizontal LED bar located near the
bottom-front of each Thump GO. This LED illuminates
green when the front LED switch is engaged.
Additionally, the switch’s LED will illuminate green.
Disengage the switch if you do not want the front panel
LED to illuminate. We like to call this ‘stealth’ mode.
An important note regarding the LED
on the front of your Thump GO.
When Thump GO is powered o
(but still plugged in), the LED functions
as the battery charging level indicator. The front LED
will slow-flash green in increments of 700 ms (700ms
on / 700 ms o). Once fully charged, the LED will stay
illuminated green (no flash).

4. Bluetooth / Pair
While not a “physical” connection, stereo channel 3/4
is considered the Bluetooth channel and its volume
is raised and lowered via the device.
This is how to connect your device to the Thump GO
via Bluetooth! Read on...
Upon powering up the Thump GO, the Bluetooth
function is either:
() In sleep mode. See ‘Pairing and connecting
for the first time’ (below) or...
(2) ...Paired and connected. See ‘Previously paired
and connected devices’ (also below).
Pairing and connecting for the first time:
To enter pairing mode, press and hold the pair switch
down for at least three seconds. The LED will illuminate
and slow flash blue for approximately 30 seconds while
in pairing mode. [The LED will continue to flash until it
has successfully paired and connected].
While Thump GO is in pairing mode, simultaneously
scan for Bluetooth devices on your device. You should
see Thump GO appear in the list of “available devices”.
Select it by tapping it. From there, your Bluetooth
device should indicate that it is successfully
connected. Additionally, the pair button will stop
flashing and remain solid blue. If it does not, start
the pairing process again, and make sure that Thump
GO and your device are both in pairing mode at the
same time.
Previously paired and connected devices:
The Bluetooth connection will disconnect if it’s out
of range or if Thump GO is powered o. Previously
paired and connected devices will automatically
reconnect (unless turned o via the Thump Connect 2
App) and the pair button will once again illuminate a
brilliant blue.
To drop the device from being paired with
the Thump GO, press and hold the ‘Bluetooth
Pair’ button down for at least three seconds.
The Bluetooth connection may disconnect
when aected by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT).
If this occurs, manually reconnect the Bluetooth
connection.
As mentioned earlier, a Bluetooth connection
may be used simultaneously with the combo
jacks – XLR or /4" – and/or /8" line-level
connection. In other words, if there is a physical
connection to the /8” line input, another physical
connection to the combo jack AND a device
is connected via Bluetooth, none of those inputs
will be interrupted. An easy way to look at it is...
there are extra inputs!
If a phone – or two dierent phones – have
been paired via Bluetooth with two Thump GO
loudspeakers, they will not link.
The options are either () one phone connected
via Bluetooth and Thump GO loudspeakers may
be linked or (2) two phones connected via Bluetooth
to two dierent Thump GO loudspeakers and they
may be not be linked.
5. Speaker Link
Two Thump GO loudspeakers may either be linked
together or separate (i.e. not linked). Additionally, there
are options when linked, as they support stereo and
zone (dual mono) linking. However, those features are
only available when connected to the Thump Connect 2
App. It will default to stereo with just the hardware.
To link:
In order to link two Thump GO loudspeakers, press
and hold the ‘Link’ momentary switch / LED down on
the primary Thump GO loudspeaker until the blue LED
illuminates and begins slow-flashing.
Within (approximately) 30 seconds, a quick press
and release of the ‘Link’ button on the secondary
Thump GO allows both units to “see” each other,
handshake and link. The LEDs on both units will stop
flashing and remain solid, indicating great success!.
The Thump GO loudspeakers will continue
to auto-link on every power-up unless this
feature is turned o via the Thump Connect
2 App.
To unlink:
In order to unlink the two Thump GO loudspeakers,
press and hold the ‘Link’ momentary switch / LED down
on one of the Thump GO loudspeakers until the blue
LED turns o. The other Thump Go will automatically
unlink and the LEDs on both units will turn o.
If a phone – or two dierent phones – have
been paired via Bluetooth with two Thump GO
loudspeakers, they will not link. The options
are either () one phone connected via Bluetooth and
Thump GO loudspeakers may be linked or (2) two
phones connected via Bluetooth to two dierent Thump
GO loudspeakers and they may be not be linked.
