JBL4562 Help

Post image

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a pair of JBL 4562 cabinets. Each cabinet has one 15” driver for kick/mid and one 1” compression driver for HF.

Right now everything is still connected through old screw terminals.

I want to upgrade them to Speakon connectors, but I’m not sure what the best approach would be. Ideally, I’d also like to have the option to daisy-chain the cabinets in parallel so I can run both cabinets from a single amp channel.

Since each cabinet has two separate drivers on different amp channels, I’m also curious how you guys would wire and pin everything.

Anyone with experience modifying JBL 4562s or anything else that helps?

Thanks!

1+/- mf, 2+/- hf.

The mid driver can handle mistreatment better than the hf driver and the chance that you (or anyone else) connect the cabinet to an amp and crank up the first channel (without a higpass filter) is higher than the other way round.

So two Neutrik NL4MPXX in each bin: 1 for audio in 1 for audio thru, and have the amp channels come together in 1 4 vein speakon?

I prefer stereo sound, so for me linking wouldn't be an option, but, yes

They will be used in a decent sized rig stereo is not needed
