Cantdosleepy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedsbeds Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that one cable is 1/8th inch jack to speakon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantdosleepy Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 So you can go from Head 1/4" to Cab Spkn, but not the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 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. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
