Asked by xavi Fernández Gaya - 08 Mar 2024 at 09:08 AM.....

1. Does this problem occur for all presets? Yes

2. "My potentiometers are almost at "10" - what ptentiometers do you mean? I mean the The volume control buttons for the master volume and volume

3. Do you use any of PRE FX effects like compressor or distortion? If so - what are volume settings of these effects?Yes, I do use pre-fx like compressor or distortions, but they come in programmed presets. How does the volume of these pre-fx settings influence it?

4. What happens when you connect you guitar with your cable to your bandmate's amp?It sounds much louder and more powerful than mine. Is the amplifier a Fender 40W tube amp

When you connect 16 ohms cabinet to 8 ohms 100W amplifier total power is reduced to 50W, but still it should be more than enough. I've got CODE 25 and it's loud as hell.

Is your Code 25 amplifier a combo or is it attached to a cabinet?"

The Celestions in my cabinet are the G12-412ACF 12". There are 4 of them. Do you know how many decibels and power each Celestion cone provides? Another question would be, could it be that the Code 100H amp needs a higher power cabinet (for example, 200w)? Do you know if the Code 100H series requires special cabinets to deliver all the power and force of its 100 watts?

I know these amplifiers are very powerful and good, and Marshall never disappoints me, but now I'm worried because I see that in my rehearsals I can hardly hear anything from my amplifier. I think there's something not right in this whole issue. I would like, since I trust you, some solution or something with preamp, pre-fx, or volumes that I'm not handling correctly in the presets

Where could I buy cabinet CODE412?... I need some information about it. Price, technical data,.... Maybe that's the problem because my amp sounds too lower with a classic cabinet as :

Cabinet Marshall Marshall MX412BR.

I have a technical query that I'm sure professionals like yourselves can help me with.

I bought a Marshall Code 100 H amplifier and a Marshall Cabinet model  Cabinet Marshall Marshall MX412BR from you.

 The first observation is that when we're rehearsing, with my 100W of power, I can hardly hear myself, and it seems like my amplifier can't provide more power. In contrast, my bandmate has a Fender Classic 40W, and it seems excessively louder compared to my 100W. My potentiometers are almost at "10," whereas my bandmate's are at "5."

 This is the first difference I can't understand. The next question relates to power and impedance. If my cabinet is 16 ohms and my amp head is 8 ohms, I see that it's half, is this normal, or should the amplifier also be 16 ohms, or should the cabinet be 8 ohms? In the specifications of my amplifier, it says: Output: Speaker output 8 ohms minimum impedance.

 I hope you can please help me solve this problem, as a Marshall 100W amplifier Code 100 H sounds very distant and as if it were only 30W of power.

 Thank you very much.

Context:

I have a Marshall DSL100 head and a MX212 cabinet. According to the Marshall website, the MX212 is an 8 Ohm cab and it has 2 Celestion Seventy 80 speakers (80W, 16 Ohm each).

Based on this, I supposed that the cabinet should be wired in parallel (16 Ohm / 2 speakers = 8 Ohm cab), like in the following diagram:

Currently, I have the speaker cable plugged from the 1x8 Ohm output to the input of the cab. It works perfectly and I haven't had any problem after almost 2 years of use.

The issue started when I decided to check the inside of the cab. I noticed that the speakers are wired like this:

From what I understand, this may also be another type of parallel wiring (If that exists). I would like to know if this is normal or something is wrong.

Thanks.

Hello,

All my best wishes to the Marshall team for this new year 2024 !

It's a pleasure to contact you !

My English being very approximate to express my requests, I will continue in french, ..., sorry, ...

Je possède depuis longtemps (Années 90) un ampli de puissance Marshall 9200. C'est un matériel de très bonne facture et aux qualités sonores exceptionnelles. Il développe une très forte puissance en live !

En amont du 9200 j'ai un préamplificateur Marshall JMP1 (avec un processeurs d'effets dans la boucle send return du JMP1).

En sortie du 9200 j'ai 2 cabinets Marshall1912 de 8 ohms.

Cela fait un moment que je ne l'ai pas utilisé. Je souhaite re-mettre cette configuration en ordre de marche !  

J'ai cependant quelques questions que je ne me suis jamais posées auparavant sur son utilisation.

1ère question : Sur chaque canal (A et B) du 9200 il y a possibilité de brancher 2 cabinets avec le câble renforcé adéquat, soit 4 HP de 8 ohms sur les deux canaux. Est-ce que c'est bien ça ?

2ème question : Pour me permettre de répéter à la maison sans créer de nuisance à mes voisins, tout en profitant de la chaleur des lampes sollicitées à une bonne puissance, j'envisage d'intercaler un atténuateur de puissance entre une seule sortie du 9200 et un seul cabinet 1912. Est-ce que c'est possible sans endommager l'ampli sans 2ème cabinet 1912 ? 

Par avance merci  pour vos réponses,

FRED

 Hello:

We are new to amp and cabs and need some help with some test results we're getting from our AVT150HX amp connected to our 1960A cabinet.

We included images from the back of the AVT150HX amp and the page in the manual of the 1960A cabinet that outlines the use of the connections panel on the back of the cab.

Here is a summary of what is happening.

1. When we run a speaker cable from either of the two output jacks from the amp to the #3 connector on the back of the cab, we get no sound. This happens whether the cab is in mono or stereo.

2. When we run a speaker cable from either of the two output jacks from the amp to the #2 connector on the back of the cab in stereo mode, we hear the right-side speakers clearly. We also think we somewhat hear the left-side speakers, but that may be bleed we're hearing from the right-side speakers. Not sure. It's a bit hard to tell because the sound is very muffled and not as loud, but it does seem like some sound is coming from the speakers.

3. When we run two speaker cables from both of the output jacks from the amp to connectors #2 and #3 on the back of the cab in stereo mode, we get the same results as #2 above.

Does this mean that the left-side speakers are disconnected or damaged somehow? Or are we making a mistake in the way we are making the connections?

Thanks in advance for the help.

hello,

i own 2 DSL 40 amps, 16 ohms each, but one has three loudspeaker options: (8 ohm) - (8 ohm) - (16 ohm)

the other one has more options, (16 ohm) - (1 x 8 ohm) or (2 x 16 ohm) - (1 x 4 ohm) or (2 x 8 ohm)

I want to use one amp as an extension cabinet for the other one, and also as a spare amp,

how do i proceed with the connections ? the spare amp needs to be turned on ? will it work as an extension cabinet if not turned on ?

thank you

Good afternoon.

I have just acquired a vintage Marshall Speaker Cabinet, serial no 06615. I am trying to identify the cabinet / model type / year of manufacture & speakers. I have learned I will need to access the speakers themselves, but access to this seems to be only from the front. Do I need to remove the screws from the front to access, and does the white beading around the edge of the grill need removing, or will it come off when I remove the grill? Don't want to cause any damage, hence asking for any help!! Also, the colour (same all over) - is that a standard colour? And finally - am I likely to find 2 or 4 speakers in the cabinet!? Many thanks.Rob

Hi there,

Since mid '90 I play a JTM30 1x12 + matching C312 1x12 cabinet. How does that compare to the new ST20H Studio + ST212 Studio? Does anybody have an objective opinion for my question? I read, hear and see a lot of good comments on the new ST20 Studio series and am wondering if it would be worth selling my stuff and buy the new amp and cab.

Kind regards,

I've just bought a Marshall CODE 50 and after playing a bit with it and experimenting around with the settings, I came to a conclusion that the cabinet models sound better recorded with the direct input than through the amp speaker when playing.

Just wondering if anyone thinks the same. Sorry if I couldn't make it more clear, English isn't my native language and I don't know how to fully express myself.

Hi there

I'm planning to add an extension cabinet, most likely the JVMC212 2x12 to my JVM210C combo.

Currently the speakers of the combo are plugged in the 1x16 Ohm jack and the ipedance of the JVMC212 2x12 cabinet is 16 Ohm. How should I connect the cabinet to the combo? I can see a 2x16 ohm jack, should I use this one for the combo speakers along with the 1x8 Ohm for the extension cabinet?

Please advise

Thanks

Regards

David

I've got a beautiful JMP 2203 top from 1979, and I'm now waiting for my brand new 1960AHW cabinet to arrive. The problem is that the cab is 16 ohms, and it's only possible to select 4 or 8 ohms output on the switch on the back of my amp. The switch actually have 5 possible positions, but only 4 and 8 ohms are printed on the switch. It also has got a seperate label on the back that specifies 4 or 8 ohms.

I read somewhere that the Canadian amps didn't have 16 ohm output because of some Canadian rules, but my amp is originally sold in Scandinavia (Sweden), as one can see on the label on the back of the amp. Is there a "hidden" 16 ohm posibillity when I set the switch to the position after 8 ohm? Will I have to rewire my new cab to 4 ohms before I can use it? Any help will be much apreciated...

Hi Marshall, 

I just purchased the DSL20HR and 1912 lead cabinet, which is great. However, there are late nights that I want to play through my headphones.

I read the manual and I read the previous questions on here about headphone use. There's conflicting instructions and support advice between the manual and what I have read here. 

Can you please clarify step by step how to safely plug a set of headphones into the emulated output jack of the DSL20HR? The manual says to "NEVER use the DSL20HR...without a speaker load", however,  advice here from the Marshall team had stated to unplug the cabinet from the amp, plug in the headphones, and then not to forget to plug the speaker back in when done using the headphones.  This is conflicting and I am afraid to try either. 

Please help. Thanks

Hello,

I am wanting to run the 1960AX cabinet with my 2555X Silver Jubilee, since the power handling capability is listed as 100w for the cabinet, would the head be too much for it in 100w mode? What if I ran it as a full stack with a 2551BV in 100w mode? I just want to make sure that I don't blow any speakers or my amp. What is the best way to run this cabinet with the full size silver jubilee?

Thanks!

Hi There,

I have a 210 H head with a 1936 lead cab . 

Please confirm how it should be connected using 1 cab. 

Also I am thinking on  buying a second 1936 cabinet. Please let me know how I connect 2 of them to my 210H head.

Thanks

Best Regards

Hi there ,
I recently bought a DSL1CR and see that the one speaker output states 1x16 ohms. 
I am aware it can be run without a speaker for silent listening through the emulated output. 
Can I connect my 8 ohm 1923 external 2 -12 cabinet to the DSL1's 16 ohm speaker output and run it safely? 
Thanks,
Russ

can i hook these up together without any issue or problems? if not, what would be the possible result, in doing so?

When I use my CODE100H with a cab, do I need to turn the cabinet settings off? I've seen several "how to" videos (including ones that have a Marshall tech in them) saying as I'm connected to a cab I don't need the cabinet setting. I've got the CODE4X12 cabinet.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone! I have a Marshall 100 HDFX head with a 4x12 cabinet and when I rehearse with my band I have the typical problem of every guitarist, I can't hear my guitar! xD The typical solution is to turn up the volume, but playing in a group if we all apply that practice will end up exploding the place. I try to use my headphones at the same time my head is outputting sound through the 4x12 but I hardly hear anything. lack of power in the headphone output? or does it not work directly?

I would like to know if anyone has tried this before and opinions on it please.

Thanks in advance :)

I bought this cabinet about 20 years ago. I think it's a Model 2196 from around 1976. Inside the cabinet it looks like Jim Marshall's signature in pencil and another signature from somebody who's intials look like JC. Would the presence of the signature increase the value of the cabinet? It's pretty beat up and did not come with the original speakers. The Vintage 30s in the photos are mine. Can anyone offer a ballpark figure of its value or suggest a resource where I might get help determining what to ask for it? Thanks.
