SPHDS Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 After a lengthy sabbatical it is time to dust off the gigging rig (Ashdown MAG250 210 Combo) and by extension, the Extension Cab......a MAG 115 Deep II (been using a GK Backline 112 for practice as it is slightly easier to hump up two flights of stairs to the flat....) Anyway, since I last used the full rig, I seem to have lost the speaker cable......(I know I can't just use an instrument cable....as my father suggested......!) I was given the lead by a friend as he had spares and didn't need it, it was a simple 1/4" Plug/Plug, cable (can't remember the make....), and a straight replacement would obviously work just fine...... However....the Extension Cab also has a Speakon port....so..... - Is it worth me getting a Jack/Speakon lead? - If so, do I want a 2 or a 4 Pole Connector....? - What brands should I look for/avoid, obvs I don't need a Besoke, Boutique, Unobtainium coated super lead......but would like to avoid something made of tin foil and string.....! Sorry if these are pretty silly questions, just want to get the right kit.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITTLEWING Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Get a quality jack to speakon from a guy under the name OBBM on here. The best will never let you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I can only really echo what LITTLEWING said above - get in touch with OBBM (aka Dave) and he'll advise you the best way to go. FWIW I use both Jack - Jack and Jack - Speakon cables from OBBM as my Trace cab has a jack socket only, while my Ashdown cab has both jack and speakon.
