clash33 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have looked at the Manual but it does not specify the speaker connections. Can someone tell me if it will take 1/4 jack plugs and speakons? Can you get a cable that is Speakon one end and jack the other? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You have to have one 1/4 jack and one speakon, but yes you can get a cable that's 1/4 one end and speakon the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they are jacks. All the previous MAG range had them. You can get adaptors or leads with either on each end so its not a big problem.

dave_bass5 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Yeah, very surprised there is no picture of the back. Just had a look at the review on Harmony Central and its pointed out that the MAG is jack only. Edited August 28, 2008 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WithoutRisk_BassPlayer Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) the Mag 600 has two 1/4" jack connections, I have the same head and the same problem when I was looking at getting one.

Protium Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I would go with the assumption it'll be the same as the other EVO II spec amps with 1 speakon and 1 jack out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don't forget the EVOII range now includes MAG, EB and older ABM's Edited August 29, 2008 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah thinking about it they probably are 2 x jack. My EB180 was like so and the only differences between that and the MAG are the power stage and colour of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will[/quote] Is your 600 the Evo II with compressor? I cannot find many reviews on this head, as you have one could you give me your pros and cons, would be good to get some feedback from a user of a 600 as most people appear to go with the MAG 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
