The loudspeaker connection panel is supplied with two 1/4"

phone jacks and two Neutrik

Speakon

NL4MPR

connectors. Neutrik Speakon NL4FC (the mating connector

for the Speakon NL4MPR), phone plugs, cable and/or pre-

assembled speaker cables are readily available at most

Community dealers. Keep in mind that the contact surface of

the tip of a phone plug is very small and if the jack or plug

gets dirty or the plug is accidentally kicked or hit, the

connection may become intermittent.

Speakon connectors were designed specifically for high-power

speaker application and therefore have a large contact surface

area which is self-cleaning every time they are plugged or

unplugged. Speakon connectors also lock together making it

virtually impossible for them to accidentally come loose. For

added protection, properly-assembled Speakon connectors have

a built-in strain relief for the cable. You won't need a soldering

iron to connect the cable to the connector - just strip the cable and

twist the strands together, then insert into the copper sleeve.

Insert the copper sleeve/wire combination into the hole and

tighten the screw which clamps down on the copper sleeve. For

an even better electrical connection you may choose to solder

each connection, but be careful as it is easy to melt the plastic

connector.

It's very important to wire your Speakon or phone jack connectors

exactly the same at each end of the cable. This is necessary to

maintain proper polarity. All quality cables have either color-

coded insulation or a very clear way of marking the wires which

make up the cable. If the insulation is not color-coded, there may

be a rib molded into the side of the jacket material. In the pro

sound industry, the black or darker colored insulation material

is typically used as the "low" side, which connects to the side of

the Speakon connector with the lug marked "1-". For a phone

jack, this conductor connects to the "sleeve" or body of the jack.

If the cables are wired incorrectly, there will be significantly less

low-frequency output from your system.
