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 cabinet to another. Each of the jacks
may be used either as an input or a through connection.
Connect the Speaker Output of your amplier to the cabinet’s Input jack using a
good quality (non-shielded) speaker cable. Never use (shielded) instrument cable
to connect speakers to an amplifier.
You can optionally utilize the unused jack as an output/through jack to connect a
second 8 Ω speaker cabinet in parallel. This will present a total load of 4 Ω to the
amplier.
