I have no idea what the heck binding posts are.??

I am thinking of getting a QSC RMX 1450 power amp to hook up to a Yamaha S12ME speaker. Eventually I will get a 2nd speaker.

 

The power amp's specs are:

8 ohms EIA 1 kHz 0.1% THD @ 2x 280W

4 ohms EIA 1 kHz 0.1% THD @ 2x 450W

2 ohms EIA 1 kHz 1% THD @ 2x 700W

Bridge Mono Mode

8 ohms EIA 1 kHz 0.1% THD @ 900W

4 ohms EIA 1 kHz 1% THD @ 1400W

Output: "Touch-proof" binding posts and Neutrik Speakon

 

The speaker's specs are:

Power Rating (program/peak): 250/500 Watts

Impedance: 8 ohms

 

1st... what are binding posts??

2nd... should I use speakon or binding post??

the 1450 has speakons, and those are the ones you want to use. Binding posts are metal posts that you basically screw bare wire into (or you put "bananna" style plugs on the wire then plug the bananas into the posts). Speakons are safer, easier, and all-around better connectors.

 

I have a 1450. Great amp.
