View Full Version : Marshal DSL impedance matching question

On my soon to be new Marshall Dual Super Lead 100 can I connect it to my 16 ohm Epiphone So. Cal. Cabinet with impedance matching or will it only accept two 16 ohm cabinets?

The handbook from Marshall I printed out was not clear on the 16 ohm connection but did state that it has a dedicated 16 ohm jack and a switchable 8 or 4 own jack.

Anybody know about the dual super lead impedance matching?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to this great amp. It will be my first Marshall tube amp.

Duff,

There is as dedicated 16 ohm speaker output. It stays 16 ohms regardless of where the impedance selector is set. Use only a 16 ohm speaker with this output. Your 16 ohm Epi cab plugs in there and will work just fine. (Page 4, #6 on the diagram)

Use the parallel speaker outs for any other speaker not 16 ohms. The impedance selector is used to configure the two parallel speaker outputs:

Single 4 ohm speaker - select 4 ohms

Single 8 ohm speaker - select 8 ohms

Two 8 ohm speakers - select 4 ohms

Two 16 ohm speakers - select 8 ohms

If you're going to run just one speaker into the parallel outs, it doesn't matter which jack you plug it into.

This help?
