Quick VH4S output question.

[PhilipJ]

So, I'm trying to hook up my VH4S to a Framus stereo cab. On the back of the Framus, each stereo input says, "16Ohm". So on my VH4S on A and B, do I go out on the 1x16ohm outs, or just the plain 16ohm out? What's the difference?

Since you have two output transformers, yes, use the two 16 Ohm Taps for a proper match.

Ok, so is that the 1x16 out or the out that is just labeled 16? There are two 16ohm outs per side. One is labeled "1x16ohm" and the other is just labeled "16ohm."

On the back of the VH4S, there are 2 halves of the power output leads section. Plug one into the 16ohm from the head to the input of the cab, do the same for the other side. The VH4S has to have 2 leads coming from its head to a cab or two cabs.

Nice work on getting a sweetass amp. This is my fave power amp of all time - it slays

V.

What's the difference between the 2x16ohm outs on each side, and the plain 16ohm outs on each side? I'm not sure what the difference is. I just want to hook up one stereo cab to the VH4S, and I wasn't sure which out on the back of the amp to come out of, as there are two types of "16ohm" outs on each side.

For the use of two 16 Ohm cabinets you would cut the impedance in half, hence the 2X16 taps.
Two 8 Ohm cabs would go into the two 2X8 taps.

Thanks, and I just want to revisit this for a second. I know have a stereo Mesa 4x12 straight cab. I want to plug the VH4S into it. On the back of the Mesa cab, it has 2 "4 ohm" inputs that are labeled for stereo amps. So, would I go out of the "1x4ohm" outputs of the Diezel on each side, into the "4 ohm" inputs on the cab?

 

[MARK2C]

Since it is a Stereo output you can use one 4 Ohm amp output from each OT into each of the two 4 Ohm speaker cab inputs.

On a mono power section you should not use two 4 Ohm taps into two 4 Ohm Speakers. It would equal 2 Ohms
and may damage the OT.
