Do i need a XLR splitter for a dual 15 inch speaker?

Hi guys, I'm new here.

I struggling to find an answer for a basic question online.

I'm currently running two AVE bassboy 18inch powered subwoofers and two powered psx112 wharfedale 12inch speakers via xlr cables.

I've just had a a friend offer his two powered wharfedale ax215 dual 15inch speakers to me.

I've noticed that at the back of each ax215 speaker , they have two separate xlr inputs labeled A & B.

Can I just buy a couple of Xlr splitters and connect the ax215's to my AVE subwoofers? Or is it more complicated?

Any help is greatly appreciated
 
Hi Zero, welcome.

No, you don't need an XLR splitter to use the AX215's.
The reason they have the 2 inputs is so that on smaller jobs where you might only have say, a mic and some background music to play, you can plug everything straight in to the speakers without bothering to go through a mixer 1st.

So, assuming you're thinking of them to replace your 12's, you'd wire them exactly the same - mixer into subs, sub's high pass out to mains, all using regular XLR cables.

HTH,
David.
