InsideYour Head: CABINET HOOK-UPS

CABINET HOOK-UPS

In addition to all of the cool stuff like TubeTone modeling, awesome Direct Outs, and great effects, the Flextone HD offers unmatched versatility and flexibility for powering almost any type of speaker cabinet(s). The type and number of speaker cabs you choose is up to you. Most likely, the cabinets you choose will depend on the situations you play in – some gigs require more of the closed back grind and thump, while other gigs will work better with the classic sound of open back speaker cabinets. Either way, the Flextone HD has got you covered.

First, some speaker cabinet basics:

•Be sure to turn the amplifier off when connecting or disconnecting speaker cables and cabinets. (This protects both the amplifier and the speakers.)

•Only use heavy gauge, unshielded cables for hooking up speaker cabinets. (Do not use standard guitar cables to connect your speaker cabinets, as they will degrade your sound. )

VOLUME LEVELS

 

When using your Flextone guitar amplification system, be sure to exercise some common sense about volume levels.The Flextone HD is a high-powered head designed to drive up to four 4x12" cabinets per side. So obviously it’s got enough juice to spare that you could fry the speakers of most setups if you really tried.

WARNING SIGNS

If you see the speakers practically jump out through the speaker grille, and they’re making rude noises, back off on the Flextone HD’s Master Volume a wee bit to get things back into the realm of reasonable operational levels (note that, for Line 6 speaker cabinets, we’ve included some recommended maximum volume settings with the hook-up diagrams that follow in this manual). Also understand that Line 6 can not be liable for replacement of speakers damaged by abuse. So, feel free to crank it up, but do it with a bit of sense.
