NJE Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I will try and keep this as simple as possible, I have a tonehammer 350 with one speakon out and two aguilar db112 cabs which have speakon and two jacks. I know I need to daisy chain the cabs but does it matter how? I have one speakon to speakon cable and one jack to speakon, can I take speakon out to speakon on cab 1 and then go jack to speakon on the second cab? Basically do I need to match connectors, so go speakon to speakon and then jack to jack to link the cabs or does it not matter where I connect the two cabs? God I am confused.

johnny_frog Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Either Speakon to speakon from amp to cab1 then jack to speakon from cab 1 to cab 2 or Speakon to jack from amp to cab 1 then speakon to speakon from cab 1 to cab 2 Shouldn't make any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Some Speakon out sockets have the facility to take a regular 1/4 inch jack plug in the centre, so check this first. You can get Speakon to 1/4 inch jack cables. Try OBBM...he does mine. You should just be about to take an output from your head into one of the jack sockets in cabinet #1 then take a jack out (from the second socket) into cabinet #2.

NJE Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks chaps, I gave it a go and it seems to work fine. What I was concerned about was mixing connectors, I saw a post on talk bass that said I should go Speakon from head to cab 1, and then only use jack to jack to connect the two cabs. I thought doing it any other way and mixing connectors might mess something up. I might still buy another jack-jack lead as a spare just in case.

dannybuoy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 They're all connected together, so it shouldn't matter. Any output socket of the amp -> any cable that fits -> any socket that fits on the cab -> any cable that fits in any remaining sockets -> any socket that fits on the second cab!

lurksalot Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The only observation I would make is that speaker cable with jacks is different to instrument cable with jacks , so if you are using a bit of power through them ,I would make sure you have speaker cable. Speakon to Jack should be fine as it will be spec'd as a speaker cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
