Neutrik Connectors

A Neutrik Speakon connector is a twist-lock plug designed for loudspeaker lines, carrying amplifier power to speakers more safely than a jack plug. It latches firmly and keeps its live contacts shielded inside the housing. Two-pole and four-pole versions exist, and a two-pole cable plug can mate with a four-pole chassis socket. The range here includes Speakon cable connectors for loudspeaker leads.

A Neutrik Powercon connector is a locking AC mains connector used on stage lighting, amplifiers and other touring equipment in place of a standard appliance coupler. It twists to lock, so a lead cannot be pulled out by accident. Blue power-in and grey power-out versions are keyed differently to prevent mix-ups. The range here includes Powercon cable connectors for two cable diameter ranges.

Wire a Neutrik Speakon connector by fitting the cable cores into the insert's screw terminals and then assembling the housing around them. Slide the bushing, chuck and housing onto the cable first, strip the cores, and connect positive to a plus terminal and negative to its matching minus terminal. Push the insert home and tighten the bushing to grip the cable. Check the maker's instructions.

A Neutrik connector is a professional cable connector made by Neutrik, the Liechtenstein maker that developed Speakon and Powercon and also makes XLR connectors. They are fitted to cable ends to make up microphone, loudspeaker and mains leads for live sound, installations and broadcast work. Pick a type for the job, such as XLR for line signals or Speakon for speakers.
