Connecting the 2200
About Impedance
Before you hook up your speaker cabinet, be sure that you understand a little about impedance. Impedance is the electronic load that the speaker puts on the power amplifier and is measured in Ohms.
Here is the tricky, yet simple rule of impedance: When two speakers are wired in "Parallel" the total impedance is cut in half and when two speakers are wire in "Series" the total impedance is the sum of the speakers individual impedance.
The 2200 impedance (many audio guys used the made up word “ohmage”, however the correct term is impedance) is 4 Ohms. So, when two 2200’s are connected together in parallel, the total impedance is 2 Ohms. The impedance of your speaker also has an effect on your amplifier. In general, the lower the impedance, the more power your amplifier will put out.
IMPORTANT: There is a minimum safe impedance so be sure to check the manufacturer's recommended impedance for your amplifier to avoid any damage to your amplifier or voiding your warranty.
Connecting the 2200 to Your Amplifier
The 2200 connections are made via 1/4" phone jacks located on the rear panel jack-plate. Be sure to make your connection with un-shielded speaker cable. Connect the Amplifier Output to the speaker Input on the 2200's rear jackplate.
Using the HIGH FREQUENCY switch
You can tailor the high frequency response of your 4200 by using the High Frequency control switch. This three-position switch allows you to set the output level of the high frequency compression driver to ON, OFF and PAD. In the ON position, the high frequency
compression driver is active and producing brightness to help you cut through the backline, or enhance snapping and harmonics during solo passages. If your ideal sound is less bright, you can set the HIGH FREQUENCY to the PAD position, which will reduce the compression driver output by 3dB. If you are looking for a deeper tone, set the HIGH FREQUENCY control switch in the middle position and the compression driver will be completely off.
Using the EXTENSION Output
The 2200 provides both 1/4-inch and Speakon connections. You can use either connector to connect to your amplifier head. Since both the 1/4-inch phone and Speakon connectors are wired in parallel, you can connect additional speaker cabinets using either connector as an extension output. Be sure to read the section above on impedance to insure a proper hook-up with your amplifier.
