Smart solution for running multiple speakers
I have a Two Rock Classic reverb 1x12 combo and sometimes a want to use a external cab to get some more stage volume. I want to use both the internal speaker (8 ohm) in the combo and the external cab (8 ohm). The problem is that the amp has (like many other amps) a set of speaker outs - a 4 ohm, a 8 ohm and a 16 ohm jack. If I use the internal speaker the 8 ohm jack is used. If I was to insert the external cab (8 ohm) into one of the other jack there would be a miss match. This is where the cab merger comes in. It lets you insert both the internal speaker and the external cab into the cab merger and then you run a speaker cable from the cab merger into the amp giving in my case either 4 ohms in paralell or 16 ohms in series. Great little devise!

The magic tool everyone should have....
...if you're that kind of guy full of different guitar cabs and amps in your house ;) Not having the right impedence in your cabs and/or amps is not a problem anymore

Good problem solver
I use this for connecting various cabs to various tube amp heads. The Palmer device allows me to use combinations of two cabs without impedance mismatch issues, eg two 8 ohm cabs into a 16 ohm output.
I agree with another reviewer on two points:
1. The text rubs off quite easily. I've sprayed some clear acrylic on it to help reduce this.
2. Can be a squeeze if you use super chunky speaker cables.
However, overall. excellent little problem solver and good value for money.

it does better than advertised
I bought this because I read some reviews stating that this is a problem-solver in the case of cabs with different impedance. Then I read the instructions, and it clearly says that it should NOT be used with cabs of different impedances.
Long story short: I use it with 1 x 4 Ohm and 1 x 8 Ohm cabs, and neither the cabs not the amp (which has a maximum load of 4 Ohm) had any problems. Maybe, if I push the master at peak, the amp may warm up too much, but at 3/4 the air that comes out is still cool.

Very useful device
I bought it to connect my two cabs (Laboga 212 V30 and Marshall 1936 Lead) and it works great!
Very useful information printed on device how to connect cabs (serial or pararell) to get desired OHM value. You won't be alble to make any mistake. I strongly reccomend it if you want to connect two cabs together.

small and compact.
Great little device, I don't hear any degradation in the quality.Its so small it fits in my pocket. Nothing bad to say!

Palmer CAB M Merger
A great helper for connecting multiple guitar cabinets when your amplifier does not have the output option required by Ohm

Fantastic gadget
Brilliant piece of kit from those clever people at Palmer. I don't know why nobody came up with this sooner, Fantastic solution for mis matched loads and amplifier heads. Two 8 Ohm cabs with a 16 Ohm head? No problem, this will route the cabs in series to produce 16 Ohms, or parallel for 4 Ohms when required. Basically gives you options for parallel or series loads and could potentially save you a lot of cash....Nicely made and simple to use

Perfect tool for hooking up extra cabinets.
This little box is great for hooking op multiple speaker cabinets to your amp, it even has all the ohms calculations laid out on it so you don’t damage your tube amp. I have already and will continue to recommend this product to anyone who might need one.
