2.67 min ohms

[Craigster]

Hi all!

 

Any advice if poss? I'm getting to grips with the whole impedance / resistance thing when considering matching amps & cabinets together. 

But just when I thought i was beginning to understand it all, I discovered an amp head that I wanted to buy but its rated resistance is '2.67 min' OHMS

 

In my recent experience most amp heads that I've come across are rated at 4 OHMS. 

 

I want the option to run 2 x 8 OHMS cabinets together for larger gigs and 1 x 8 OHMS cab for smaller pub gigs.

I know I'd be ok doing this with a 4 OHM head but whats the deal with a 2.67 OHM head??

 

The head I was looking at is a Blackstar Unity Elite 700W.

 

Is this head suitable for 8 OHMS cabs?

Thanks in advance everyone

Yes. The 2.67 ohms is a minimum rating. So no problems at all. The 2 X 8ohm cabs would give you a total load of 4ohms. Well above the 2.67 minimum.

The 2.67 is to allow a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm to be used together 

or sometimes you see 3 8 ohm cabs which equates to the same

Thanks guys!
