Orange Bass Terror - again

Do these only have speakon connections or are they the combined ones where you can also plug in 1/4" jack cables as well?

Mine is Speakon only.

[Delberthot]

Thought that

Considering that the jack plug is, in theory, only rated for low power, why would you want to use one for a 500-watt amp?

My incoming Trace 4x12" only has jack input as far as I know

The head is speakon only, but the cab has a combi plug on.

Mister obbm can probably make you a speakon to jack cable? At least, i think that's possible.

[Delberthot]

yes it is - good news if it does have speakon cos I have 2 cables I bought from OBBM when I had my Schroeder cab

[Moos3h]

They are indeed Speakon only.

Cheers,

Jest get another speakon end and do it yourself! They're usually wired +1 and -1. It could also be that the input on the cab is a dual receiver, i.e. it can accept the Neutrik Speakon [b][i]or[/i][/b] a 1/4" jack. HAve a look at it again befoe you panic.

[Mandril]

Nah, it's a barefaced vintage, it's only speakon... maybe I can try to replace the jack with a speakon. It needs soldering, right?

You might need to unsolder it from the jack end but the speakon end uses tiny screws, like a mains plug.

[Mandril]

Oh, then it must be easy to do. Thanks!

Maplin do an [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=usb&ModuleNo=33066&C=SO&U=Strat15"]adapter[/url], if you dont want to wire in a speakon,

[Mandril]

That's cool, but I guess it's better the other way, isn't it?

I thought he wanted to get a ¼" jack plugged into his amp?

[Delberthot]

Ok so its definitely speakon only on the cab so I've got that sorted out and I've got myself a 40dB attenuator as well

One small thing - when I have a single 8ohm cab connected to it with the 8ohm switch set, nothing comes out if I connect it to the input furthest away from the switch but I get output from the other output. is that normal?

The lack of a manual doesn't help things

[Delberthot]

I was wondering if it had something to do with the switch itself - if it is capable of putting out 500w into 4 or 8ohms then are there 2 250w amps inside operating in some kind of bridged mono when you have the 8ohm switch selected which would stop anything coming out of the other output or should I be worrying?
