Rear Panel Connector Plate
1. 1/4" TS Full Range Input / Output Jacks: The jackplate features two 1/4" jacks wired
in parallel, allowing easy daisy-chaining from one speaker to another. Each of the jacks
may be used as an input or a through connection.
Connect the speaker-level output of your amplifier to the cabinet’s input jack using a good
quality (non-shielded) speaker cable (included). Never use (shielded) instrument cables to
connect speakers to an amplifier.
You can utilize the unused jack as an output/through jack to connect a second 8 ohm
speaker cabinet in parallel. This will present a total load of 4 ohms to the amplifier.
2. 1" HF Compression Driver On / Off Switch: Press the top of this rocker switch
inwards to turn the HF compression driver ON. Press the bottom of this switch inwards
to turn the HF compression driver OFF.
