Randall RT 2/50 into a single cab

[griffiti]

The switching mode of the Randall would allow me to pair a heavy EG5 setting with 6L6s. With the press of a preset (MIDI) button, switch to an SL2x with EL34s. Looking at the back of the Randall, each channel can go out MONO at various ohms.

I have a 212 Genz Benz. Actually, I have two. It can take 4 ohm mono, or 8 ohm stereo. Theoretically, I could run Randall channel 1 to left cab input, and Randall channel 2 to right cab input. In switching mode, only 1 12" cone would be pushing air at a time. If I run the Randall in stereo mode, than both speakers are pushing air (6L6 / EL34).

I'm not even sure if what I just said is correct / possible? LOL

Ok ... here's my question. Is it possible to feed the main and extension outputs of Randall channel 1 to a cab, but also channel 2 at the same time? Is there like a device that provides speaker load for the power amp, but is switchable?

I know I could run the Randall to 2 separate cabs, but when switching Randall channels, depending on how far apart the cabs are, your sound will jump around the room. It would be nice to feed a single cab. Is this possible? How?

The RT2/50 is capable of running several different ways. If you're looking to use the channel switching feature of the RT2/50 into a single cab, it's no problem. All you need to do is connect the speaker output of CH1 (top) into the Mono input on your cab. The power amp will route the output of both channels through that speaker output allowing you to switch the 2 channels of the RT into a single cab. Don't need a load on the other channel. If no connector is inserted into channel 2 speaker out, everything is routed to the CH 1 speaker out.
If you have 2 cabs, you can run Ch 1 out to mono speaker cab in on one cabinet and run ch2 speaker out to mono speaker cab in on the 2nd cab allowing the use of different power tubes to each cabinet. This is cool if you want different output tubes, speakers and cabs for different modules. Run your mono preamp feed into the input on CH1 of the power amp.

Make sense?

That's awesome and just the answer I was looking for! Thanks for taking the time to explain that.

No problem!
