Hello !
Just got my first 2x12 cabinet for Axe FX and ART SLA-2
Cabinet is 120W and loaded with Celestion V30-s.
Stereo - 2x8 Ohm
Mono - 4 Ohm
Like I said, this is my first cabinet and I dont have any experience with Watts and Ohms
What would be the safest way to connect poweramp with cabinet ?
Form ART SLA-2 manual:
• 200 Watts/Channel @ 8 Ohms
• 560 Watts/Bridged Mono @ 8 Ohms
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning: For optimum performance and reliability, do not operate the
amplifier with a speaker load of less than 4 Ohms per channel, or any
combination of speakers that together are less than 4 Ohms.
Using one speaker per channel, it must be rated at 4 or more Ohms.
Using two speakers per channel, they must each be rated at 8 Ohms,
or greater. When in bridge mode, the speaker should be rated at 8
Ohms, or greater.
allso:
The amplifier is stable into loads as low as 2 ohms (stereo mode), and
4 ohms (bridged mono mode).
Anyway, If I want to run my cab in MONO should I use just one channel of ART SLA-2 ( 200W/8 Ohm )
or ART SLA-2 Bridged ( 560W/ 8 Ohm ).
Or maybe is best way to run cabinet in stereo mode so the Ohm-s are matched ?
I'm asking because I dont want to damage my speakers or poweramp
Thanks,
Omrat
