Speakon Bridge Question

[LazyZombie]

My Carvin Dcm1000 has a Bridge Speakon out and I read that I need to get a 4 pole Connection? I'm obviously clueless on the matter, the ones they selling on Musiciansfriend don't say what kind they are (Or are using a language i don't recognize.) so I'm wondering where i need to get these things.



I'd seriously be helpless if it wasn't for you guys heh.

Use a standard speakcon cable to the centre socket that's marked "Bridge" and you are good to go. You will have to depress the bridge button with a pen as it's mounted below the chassis line. DO NOT use a peakcon to phone plug cable! Speakeon on each end only. In bridge with a phone plug the shell becomes hot to channel two. If you accidentally short the shell to any other grounded metal object you could damage your amp.

So I was just over thinking it then... K, thanks.

Usually to bridge you have to re-config the AMP side of the cable from +1, -1 to +1, +2, but keep the SPEAKER end of the cable at +1, -1.

Be sure to check your manual for your specific model amp - don't make assumptions. If you can't find your manual Carvin has them on their website.
