 Topic: Admark AD442 Speakon PinsPosted: 08 January 2026 at 3:45pm |

Hi all,
Anyone that has HANDS ON experience with these amps that can tell me how the speakons are wired. Is channel B on pins 2 on the first speakon? or are pins 2 not used, or are they wired but only used for bridge? I spoke to one person that has these amps and he says channel B is on pins 2, however the sales rep from Admark says only pins 1 are live on each speakon. The "manual" is ambiguous. Anyone know the actual facts? |

Remove the lid, and have a look yourself?

I really wanted the answer BEFORE buying one.. If I had one in hand, it would be pretty easy to work out. My bass cabs are wired with one driver on pins 1 and one driver on pins 2 (WS218X)... If the Admark speakons aren't wired like this it means making up a patch panel for the back of the rack... which I can of course do, but would rather not.

Both Admark and CVR amplifiers are wired so you can get both channels out of one speakon. I think it is channel A and C atleast on the four channels versions as we have had both. Jamie

So... I now have the amps in my hands...
Using a multi-meter in continuity mode I probed the speakons... pins2 on the 1st speakon has continuity with pins 1 on the 2nd speakon Have only run a pair of bass bins on it so far... but sounds like its working as expected. I spoke to the sales guy Daniel about what I have found and he still states "No sir". However, I do want to try different cabs / signal source on Ch A/B to confirm its defo not just putting out Ch A on pins 1 and 2.
