CR120H & PPC412 HP8 Stereo cab

Post by DigiCol » Mon Jan 09, 2017 2:26 pm

Hi All

Can I connect both 16 Ohm speaker outputs on the CR120H into both inputs on the PPC412 HP8 400w Stereo cab? It runs at 200w per side at 16 Ohms when connected in Stereo and at 400w/8 Ohms when connected in mono. Any info appreciated :D

Yes you can though there's no point what so ever. Two Cables instead of one.

You can use the amp with

– One 16 ohm cab connected to the one of the speaker outputs.

– Two 16 ohm cabs connected to both speaker outputs, or daisy-chained together to one of the speaker outputs.

– One 8 ohm cab connected to one of the speaker outputs.

Great thanks for the info. Impedance ratings were always my downfall. Could never get my head around them. My confusion lay in the fact the the cabs mono input was 8 ohms so wasn't sure if the 16 ohm output on the CR120 would be suitable but as it states 8 ohm minimum mono setup will be fine as you mentioned. Thanks for your help :)
