2 heads, one cab

Re: 2 heads, one cab

You’d be trying to force speaker level back through the other amp’s output transformer. If you didn’t damage anything you’d at least have a really odd load on the active amp (which could then damage something)

As stated above, the second jack can be used either for a choice of nuitrik or standard jack or to add an additional cab in parallel if your amp has only one output. (If you’ve got one 4 ohm, one 8 ohm and one 16 ohm output, you can go from the 8 ohm output to the 16 ohm cab jack, from the second cab jack to the next 16 ohm cab)

By the way if I’m using multiple heads on one cab, I only run one IEC cable to that area. That way I have to swap both power and speaker cables when I switch heads. There’s no risk of powering up the disconnected head without a load.

Re: 2 heads, one cab

Just spend the 30 seconds it takes to unplug one head then plug the other one in.

prolly would/should just do this as the other posts are confusing me. First of all for clarification. Im Not playing thru both heads into same cab at same time.... I just have both heads plugged in (on head into each input) to same cab. cab is 16 ohm and I have both heads set on 16 ohm. I guess for safety sake, Ill either plug one or the other, or plug the PV into my Avatar 2x12. I surely dont want to fork something up. Just trying to figure why the cab has two inputs then....??

Yes, it can be rewired to stereo, allowing two heads to be used. As is it’s a parallel pass through for additional cabs.

Re: 2 heads, one cab

should be one jack in
the other jack is thru to the next cab

you can rewire

No, it’s not a stereo cab. Do not connect both heads. You will damage both heads.

Yeah, if it isn’t stereo the results won’t be pretty! I suppose you could wire the cabinet up as 2 separate 2x12 cabs in one box??? I have a buddy who does something similar with a 2x12. It is actually wired up as two separate 8 ohm 1x12’s so it can have two smaller recording heads running through the one mic’d cabinet in his isolation booth. I mean he seems to enjoy the results so I don’t see why this couldn’t be scaled up to a 4X12 situation?

Re: 2 heads, one cab

If it's a stereo 4x12 you can run it with 2 amps driving 2x12's each. Just make sure the selector switch is set correctly. A 16ohm cab would indicate that it's 4 16 ohm speakers wired series/parallel. So for stereo operation you'd want the amps set to 8 ohms. Yes you can run two amps at the same time...the stereo cab is effectively two 2x12's in one box. But NEVER and run two amps into the same set of speakers...that would be bad.

Question. IÂ’ve never done this before, so wanna make sure IÂ’m ok..
I brought my PV ultra plus Home. Normally I use my Carvin 4x12 for that head. No room for the cab so making due. Ok, my spawn 4x12 has 2 inputs ( I think all my cabs do) one of them on the splawn has the Neutric locking jack, the other does not. I left my spawn head plugged into that jack and plugged my PV head into the other jack. Is it ok to plug 2 heads into one cab? Assume so as they put two jacks on it. Next, the cab is rated 16 ohms.. set both heads at 16 ohms?? Lastly, can one actually PLAY both heads thru same amp at same time??
