extension cabinet help
« on: August 27, 2006, 10:24:00 AM »
Hi I'm a dumbass so sorry for the questions but I need some help.

Just acquired a Marshall TSL100 head and 1960A cab - do I link the 16ohm loudspeaker output from the head to the 16ohm input on the cab or do I need to use the other options available?

Please help,

Thanks

I think the default setting on a TSL is 16 Ohms anyway, so just plug and play (but check first!).

Changing the impedance setting is pretty easy if you need to though.

Don't forget though, that if you add another cab, get another 16 Ohm cab, and then set your amp's output impedance at 8 Ohms (2x 16 Ohm loads create an 8 Ohm load). You can't mix and match output impedance loads, say using a 16 Ohm cab and an 8 Ohm cab, without causing damage to your amp.
