Ampeg SVT12HE 1×12 Bass Cabinet
Please read this user’s guide prior to using your new enclosure.
IMPORTNT INSTRUCTIONS
Your Ampeg SVT12HE 1×12” Bass Cabinet is a high quality two-way speaker
enclosure suitable for all venue sizes.
The cabinet features heavy duty recessed handles, crossover with horn level
control, and a 1” diaphragm high frequency horn.
The Speakon® and 1/4” jacks are wired in parallel, allowing easy daisy
chaining from one speaker to another. Each of the jacks may be used as an
input or a through connection.
Speakon® connectors are recognized as the standard for professional
installations, assuring a secure, permanent connection that won’t corrode,
vibrate loose or be easily tampered with. The 1/4” jacks are convenient.
However, the Speakon® jacks are recommended when using power amplifiers over
150 watts, for permanent installations, or for the first enclosure among a
number of daisy chained enclosures.
