Re: Speakon plugs - 2 or 4 pin?

143.236.34.52

Basically a four pin is setup so you can run a four lead speaker
cable to bi-amp and have one connection to the cabinet
Two pins plus and minus are for your horn/driver
Two pins plus and minus are for the woofer/mid driver

A two pin is for a two lead speaker cable for loudspeakers with
passive xovers internally

You can certainly use a four pin connector with a two pin
Just make sure you use whatever pins your cabinet is using
pin -1, pin +1 / or pin -2, pin +2
You can use a two pin connector on a four pin input as well
You have to know if your cabinet is using pin 1 plus and minus
or pin 2 plus and minus...

I hope this makes some sense to you
