Artisan 30H Ohm Setting
Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 5:35 pm
Hi Guys
Hopefully someone can help me with this question. I have an Artisan 30H that I usually run into it's own 4x12 but I am after getting a 2x12 Cab (not an Artisan Cab) for our smaller gigs. The thing is I am not sure what the Ohm setting on the head should be to match up with this cab. I really don't want to blow the amp or cab. I know the Artisan gives me the choice of 4, 8 or 16 Ohm settings and all I can find on the cab is the following:
2x 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, 120watts/8ohm, 2x 60watts/16ohm, mono/stereo (switchable)
So they have the same Vintage speakers as the Artisan cab, but what should I set the Ohms to on my head so that I don't damage either? Something is telling me that the Ohms on the Artisan head should be set to 8, to get the full whack out of the cab but again I am only guessing so I really need some help with this.
Thanks guys for any help you can give.
