Rear Panel Connector Plate
-
1/4″ TS Full Range Input / Output Jacks: The jack plate features two 1/4″ jacks wired in parallel, allowing an easy daisy chain from one cabinet to another. Each of the jacks may be used either as an input or a through connection.
Connect the Speaker Output of your amplifier to the cabinet’s Input jack using a good quality (non-shielded) speaker cable. Never use (shielded) instrument cables to connect speakers to an amplifier.
You can optionally utilize the unused jack as an output/through jack to connect a second 8 Ω speaker cabinet in parallel. This will present a total load of 4 Ω to the amplifier. -
High-Frequency Horn Level Switch (PF-410HLF only) The 3-position HF Horn switch allows for:
-
Full high-frequency output (0 setting)
-
High frequencies reduced by 6 dB (–6 setting)
-
Horn shutoff (Offsetting)
