witterth Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Hello Chaps, some advice... I'm just about to get hold of an Trace Elliot SMX350 head and a bit confused about the single 3 pin speaker/single jack 'out put' on the back. I'm sure I'm being a bit dense, but can some one reassure me about how I link two cabs to this amp? via, (this one output?) I thinking of/want to link either 2x 4x10 OR 1x4x10 and 1x15 (8ohm cabs) to it as I have both options, but one output?no crossover? online manuals haven't helped! want to speak to a person/user!KWIM? It was sooo... easy with AH500 gp11 head as it was a stereo amp two master volumes on the back and a crossover so I couldnt mess that up.!!! ( thats a mark V GP11 head and will be up for sale soon if interested?...feeler) Im just caucious as not to mess up as I've struggled with "finer" points of connection issues in the past! thank-you gentelmen Edited September 29, 2009 by witterth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witterth Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Im sure its only got one "cannon" and one "jack"-output could I be mistaken maybe? do you link cabs together in some way...I dunno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Is the 350 quite old? If it does have an XLR as a speaker output (rather than DI) you may be reduced to "daisy chaining" cabs - assuming that they have parallel sockets (in & out) If the 1/4" Jack transpires to be a speaker out, maybe you can use that and the XLR. Subject to the usual condition of not going under the amp's minimum rated impedance- which is [i]likely[/i] to be 4Ohms. It's usually quoted on the back panel to stop people from inadavertently frying their amps. Edit - liking the American Werewolf quote under your avatar!

ATB W ps the quote comes from the fact that thats what the folk from round here are like! thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
