Neutrik splitter

#1 Post by rec »

For my smaller gigs I was wondering if I could use something like this to split the out put of one amp channel to run both of my OT12's.

There would be a short speaker running from the channel out put to this device and then a 25ft cable to each speaker.
I realize that the load would be 4ohms which should be fine for my amp or would something like this be better.

My initials are in the view finder of every camcorder (REC)
2xOT12(Deltalite 2512 loaded, w/melded arrays)
2xOT12(Deltalite 2512 loaded, w/flat array) "In Process"
4xT30(24", 4012HO loaded)
1xAT

That should work fine. I wouldn't pay anywhere near the price they want for the nice one... you can go buy a metal box and 3 speakons and make it yourself for that matter. If you rack your amp, you can build something like this into your rack (you can buy blank rack panels pre-punched for panel-mount jacks.

You can also just place the amp close to one speaker, run a short lead to that one, and a longer lead to the other. However... if this would result in a lead greater than 50', the splitter method would be theoretically better, unless you're using fairly heavy wire.
99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.
