Thump GO 8" Portable Battery-Powered Loudspeaker
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.
