Dual-Channel Speakon Connection
Dual-Channel Connection
The BRIDGED connector has the added feature
of providing both speaker outputs on a single
connector. This allows you to use a single cable
to carry both channels from the amplifier to the
speakers.
Many speakers with Speakon connectors provide
an Input connector and a “Thru” connector for
connecting a second speaker in parallel. You can
use the Thru connector to connect the CHANNEL 2
amplifier output to the CHANNEL 2 speaker.
In stereo mode, CHANNEL 1 output is available
at Pins 1+ and 1–, and CHANNEL 2 is available at
Pins 2+ and 2– on the BRIDGED connector. Wire all
four pins in the Speakon connector, as shown below,
at both ends of the cable. For the cable connecting
the “Thru” connector to the second speaker, you
need to use a “crossover” cable that connects pins
2+ and 2– on the “Thru” connector to pins 1+ and
1– on the second speaker input end.
