In this document, we will walk through some basic steps of setting up two Thump15BST loudspeakers with one Thump18S, and
a ProFX8v2 mixer. This document will also go over connecting two input sources including a microphone and an iPad.
Cables Needed
For this set-up you will need the following cables:
4x XLR Male to XLR Female cables:

1x 1/8" TRS to TS "Y" cable:

4x IEC Power Cord (which should have been included when you bought your equipment):

Set-Up
The first thing to do is to get your two Thump15BST loudspeakers and Thump18S in position for your gig, preferably close to
a reliable power source. There are a couple of ways you can set-up your Thump15BST loudspeakers. One way is to use your
Thump15BST loudspeakers with speaker tripod stands. In this example, we are only using one Thump18S subwoofer so we will
be using two speaker stands to mount our Thump15BST loudspeakers.

It will go over using the onboard mixer, which you use to set the input and EQ levels on these loudspeakers. The ThumpBST Owner’s Manual you can get here: http://mackie.com/products/thump...

Left main from the ProFX will patch into input CH1 on the Thump15BST and Right main from the ProFX to input CH2 on the same Thump15BST.

For this, we will need one XLR cable and the 1/8” TRS to TS “Y”-cable. Connect the microphone to the mic input on channel 1 of the ProFX mixer using the XLR cable.

Before you go ahead and power everything up, set the Thump18S level knob at the center position (12 o’clock). We will need to power the Thump15BST speakers on before we can set the levels on them, but we do not want to do that quite yet.

You can either use an XLR cable to connect the two speakers physically or use the wireless function to link both units together.
