Wiring a speakon for mono

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a speakon to speakon cable that i run from my power amp to my cab that is wired for mono. I am running a different cab now that requires me to use a speakon to quarter inch cable. While trying to wire the new cable for mono I noticed that there are only two wires in this cable instead of 4. I was told to run the black wire to 2+ to set it up for mono. anyway, the speakon to quarter in only has two wires and there isn't a 2+ on this cable. is there anyway to wire this cable for mono?! Its the NL2FC. Thanks

I figured it out. I have to replace the 2 pole head with a 4 pole head to wire it mono.

Cool that you figured out a solution; but mono? Naturally the 1/4" speaker cable has only two wires, that would be the case even if it had come with a 4-pole plug attached, and two wires pretty much = mono. Most Speakon cables I've seen are already set up for mono, and one with a two-pole plug is mono already for sure. The only problem is if the receiving jack on your amp requires a 4-pole plug due to the placement of the wires connecting it internally. That's the real issue, not whether the cable is mono. But you arrived at the solution anyway, so you're in good shape.
