A Word About Speakon Connectors
Speakon connectors offer a superior method of connecting your amp head to your speaker enclosure and have
several advantages over traditional 1/4” connectors. Speakons offer better conductivity and signal flow, are much better
at handling high power, and have a locking mechanism that won’t allow the speaker cable to be pulled out. There are
(4) wiring posts inside a Speakon. The (2) speaker wires in the cable can be hooked up to different posts for different
applications. For the B2RE Speakon jack, pin 1+ is positive (+), pin 1– is negative (–).
Troubleshooting
In the unlikely event that your B2RE should malfunction, take a few minutes to troubleshoot it before you call for service.
You can save yourself a lot of time and sometimes money by doing it yourself, and often the cure for the problem is some-
thing quite simple.
If the problem isn’t covered above, or if the steps lead you here, then contact your Ampeg dealer for service infor-
mation. Also, you should refer your amp to an authorized service center for servicing if it gets dropped, has liquid spilled
into it, or sustains damage to its power cord.
