Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question. Most of my playing time has been with stompboxes and amplifiers only in small places (my amp was the PA). Just recently, I have started playing in situations where PA systems are used and recently took the plunge in to Axe ownership (best Christmas gift ever).
What type of cable is best for connecting an active FRFR speaker (e.g. Atomic CLR Cab) to the Axe? I was watching Jay Mithcell's "CLR Introduction" video on YouTube and he mentioned a "Neutrik Speakon" connector to the CLR (at 00:50). Before today, I had never heard of such a thing (I had to replay the bit several times to understand what he was saying).
What about the Axe FX end of the cable? Is that XLR or Speakon as well?
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a couple of "microphone" cables with XLR connectors on both ends and was planning to use one of those. Now, it seems that I want a better connector on at least one end of the cable. Plus, I am starting to learn that there is better quality cable than "mic" cable that is meant to feed signal to the amp(s)? Sounds like my "mic" cables are not going to cut it.
Any help appreciated.
