On the "New Behringer Amps" thread there was some discussion about using the proper cables when using an amp in bridged mode. I was wondering if someone could explain this stuff in more detail and try to do it in a simple and less technical way. I have several amps and on one it looks like using just the red binding posts is the bridged mode hookup, OR, a single speakon output jack is used in bridged mode.
Specifically, what I'm looking for is what speakon cable you would use and an actual link to one either at NLFXPRO.com or another audio supplier. No way I'm rewiring a cable or making my own. If I need one, I'll gladly buy a professionally made cable and not worry about frying an amp.
One question: I assume that once you go out from the amp to an 8ohm speaker with the 4 conductor wire, you can then go out to another 8ohm cabinet with a regular speaker cable? My understanding is that most amps don't do bridged mode below 4ohms.
I have a Yamaha EMX512 powered mixer that has a bridged mono mode that's activated by a switch on the front panel, but it doesn't seem that this amp requires a 4 conductor cable. It looks like you just need to plug into the correct jacks. Maybe it's just mono mode and not bridged? I know the amp does 4ohms without breaking a sweat.
