Can'tthinkofausername Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi. Just about to acquire an EBS Reidmar from a fellow Basschatter, and as a result need to connect amp to cab via a Speakon lead for the first time. I'm connecting to a Schroeder 1212L: can anyone confirm what type of Speakon I need to use? There seem to be two varieties: NL2 and NL4, and it sounds like NL4 is the 'safe' bet as it will be compatible with NL2 AND NL4 female sockets but obviously I want to make sure I get it right: any guidance appreciated!

obbm Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Actually it's the other way round. NL2 Plugs fit NL2 and NL4 sockets. NL4 plugs only fit NL4 sockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTypeV4 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm not familiar with your cab but I suspect your amp and cab will be wired for 1+ and 1- so either an NL2 or 4 will be fine for your application.. NL4 with four-core cable is typically used for PA where bi-amping or individual driver powering is required. Some power amps used a 1+ / 2+ connection for briidge mode which doesn't require a four core cable but requires an NL4 connector. Hope that helps.

Can'tthinkofausername Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Two very helpful responses: thanks! Guess I'll go for an NL2 then as that's the safer option! Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
