Smart DSP, Bluetooth, and Remote Control
Presets and Adaptability
The onboard processing offers four voicing modes to immediately fine-tune the output, along with an outdoor mode that compensates for the loss of acoustic reinforcement in open-air environments. The Music Ducking and Feedback Eliminator functions simplify announcements and secure microphones.
Streaming and Control
Bluetooth connectivity enables direct streaming from a smartphone, linking two Thump 215XT speakers in stereo or dual-zone mode, and full control via the Thump Connect 2 app (levels, EQ, presets) to maintain command from the audience area.
Connectivity and Setup
Two XLR/TRS channels accept mic/line sources, complemented by a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack input and a Thru output summing both channels. The " Built-Like-A-Tank " construction combines durability and lightness, featuring a pole mount, M10 rigging points, and a beveled edge for wedge monitor use.
