Trying to understand amplifiers for PA use. I have a power amp with 2 channels. Each output channel has a positive and negative. I have ben using a cable someone gave me many years ago that has a banana plug on one end and a quarter-inch plug on the other. I plug the banana plug into pos and neg output jacks for channel 1 on the amp, and then run the other end of that cable into a PA speaker cabinet. Ditto for the other channel.
I always thought this was the most standard way to hook up speakers to the amp. and it may be. but I just wanted to check if I was messing anything up by using a banana plug like this to combine the pos and neg into a single plug.
Also, would this method be referred to as "stereo?" I've been looking at lots of stuff about parallel or series. But this doesn't seem to be either one of those.
Thanks!
