8 ohm attenuator-16 ohm cab


iowa

Recommended Posts

I have a VJ head (4,8 and 16 ohm jacks) and the matching 16 ohm cab. I can pick up an older Weber Micro Mass pretty inexpensively. Problem is, it is an 8 ohm attenuator.

 

Can I use it without damaging the amp or speaker? I thought I heard somewhere that amps can tolerate a 2:1 impedance mismatch.

webers site says the micro mass is ok for 4 8 and 16 OHM loads. I have a weber micro and the VJ ext cabinet. so far so good.
