Two cabs with the same head.

[Cantdosleepy]

My Markbass head has one Speakon socket and one 1/4" socket.

If I want to connect two cabs, do I have to use both sockets? So do I need to have one speakon-enabled cab and one 1/4" socketted cab?

A cable can have different connectors on each end.
You can also link two cabs together if one has two sockets on it. (amp -> cab -> 2nd cab)

You can have 2 speakon-enabled cabs. Just make sure that one cable is 1/8th inch jack to speakon.

This is how I've got mine connected (OBBM made me a jack to Speakon cable)

So you can go from Head 1/4" to Cab Spkn, but not the other way around?

[nedsbeds]

you certainly can!

The markbass heads have a speakon socket that is also a 1/4" jack in the centre. It's a dual socket in other words.
