Kovie Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 HI all, I'm trying to determine the right amount of gain reduction if I split an amp's signal and send that signal to 2 different cabs (in parallel), and then rejoin that signal. Is there a mathematically correct amount of db reduction to reduce both cabs so the resulting signal when combined again would be the same as if I was just using one cab? It seems like the gain reduction amount of each speaker in parallel vs. one speaker is maybe about -5.7dB on each cab's level vs similar output level as single speaker, but I'm thinking maybe there's a "right" amount based on math? Attached a picture of what I'm doing. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Oh - Maths and physics. You may want to read this about splitting/merging paths. Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
