GK RBH Series Tweeter

Harbeezy · #1 11-06-2011, 03:43 PM

Hey guys, I own a 410RBH and 115 RBH and I power them bi amped with the 1001rb. I noticed a few days ago that when I turned the woofers and boost all the way down and turned the tweeter all the way up that i got no sound from either of my tweeters. Is this because ive blown them? I believe im using all the right cables and i remember being able to play through just the tweeters at one point.

You don't have the "Hi-cut" switch pushed do you?

With no sound do you mean nothing? The tweeters are crossed over at 5k so you should not be able to hear much. I only get some fret clank and noise through mine.

I tried with the hi cut on and off, still no sound, nothing.

Time to check your speakons, both ends, for loose connections (the 2+ and 2- go to the horns). Switch on both cabs set to bi-amp. Battery test the horns.

Play some recorded music through the cab. That'll tell you for certain.

So what should the knob on my cab be turned to, it on normal now.

NL2FC - Neutrik that is the speakon cable I'm using.

I could never really hear if mine does anything either, but it really doesn't matter to me.

You need 4-wire speakon cable to use the biamp feature. Use either the cables that came with the cabs or get some ready made ones (or make your own). They're wired 1+ and 1- for woofer and 2+ and 2- for tweeter amp (so any standard 4-wire cable will do the trick).

Anyway you could link me to those, I don't even know what to search for that haha, thanks for all your help.

That is a 2 pole! You need 4 poles and wire as in above post! Your horns are not connected, run in full range till you get the right cables.

Search google or your favourite webstore for '4-conductor speakon cable'.
