obi 2 kenobi Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 hi, probably dumb question. Just picked up 2 MarkBass Traveler Cabs (2 x 10). Each cab has one speakon and 2 1/4 inch jacks. Question : why 2 1/4 inch jacks ? What's the difference between them (if any) ? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 2 jacks so you can daisy-chain them. Input in to the cab and out to another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algmusic Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Some link their cabs. Amp + Cab + Cab as some plug both cabs directly into their.. each way changes the independence and your power. Why not two spekon? who knows.. My orange cab has two spekon/1.4jack connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I wish manufacturers didn't use jacks for speaker connections; it's too easy to use the wrong sort of cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx[/quote]One 1/4" so you can run it with a 1/4" cable from an amp with no Speakon out, one 1/4" to parallel another cab with a 1/4" input. But you should be using the Speakon anyway. Why not two Speakons on each cab? It saved MarkBass two quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
