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 amplifi er 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 B
amplifi er output to the Channel B speaker.
In stereo mode, CHANNEL A output is available at
Pins 1+ and 1–, and CHANNEL B 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.
