Speakon (Bridged Mode) - Behringer PMP3000

#1 Post by cliffhanger »

Not sure about all this stuff so I figured I would ask. If you are running in bridged mode. The pins from the speakon are +1 +2. So what is happening if you are using a speakon that is only 2 pin (+1, -1) or (NL2FC)??? It is supposed to be 1200 watts mono but if the plug only has 2 pins is this running correctly. I am thinking definitely not but I dunno...

Right from the manual!
Please be sure to only use commercial Speakon® cables (type
NL4FC) for connecting your loudspeakers
A NL4FC is strictly a 4-pole connector.If you need to run bridge you need to use a 4 pole.

There is another way if you have 2-2pole connectors.

You simply put +1 of the B channel input to +1 of the Speakon connector and put +1 of the "A" channel connector to the +1 of the A channel speakon.

1 cable with 1 wire each going to a separate speakon connector if you only have NL2's!

99% of the time running bridged is a bad idea. Don't do it unless you're absolutely sure you need to.
