FAQs

What is the purpose of the locking mechanism on the Speakon connectors?

The locking mechanism ensures a secure and reliable connection, preventing accidental disconnection during use, which is crucial for live performances and professional audio setups.

Can I use this cable with a 4-pole Speakon connector?

No, this cable features 2-pole Speakon connectors and is not compatible with 4-pole Speakon connectors or keyed 2-pole connectors. It is designed specifically for standard 2-pole connections.

Is this cable suitable for connecting a microphone to an amplifier?

No, this is a loudspeaker cable designed for high-power speaker-level signals. It is not suitable for low-level microphone signals, which typically require XLR or instrument cables.

What does 'RoHS Compliant' mean?

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means that the cable is manufactured using materials that restrict the use of certain hazardous substances, aligning with environmental and health standards.

How should I store this cable to prolong its life?

Loosely coil the cable after use, avoiding sharp bends or kinks. Store it in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the conductors and the outer jacket.

What is the gauge of the copper cable conductors?

The cable features dual 1.5mm² copper conductors, which are suitable for a range of audio power applications.

Troubleshooting

No sound from the speaker.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely locked into the amplifier and speaker. Verify that the amplifier/mixer is powered on and producing an audio signal. Check that the correct input on the speaker is being used and that the amplifier output is functioning.

Intermittent sound or crackling.

Disconnect and re-connect the Speakon connectors, ensuring they are fully locked. Inspect the cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or fraying. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from debris.

Cable feels stiff or difficult to bend.

While designed for durability, extreme cold can make the cable stiffer. Allow it to warm up to room temperature. Ensure the cable is not being forced into tight bends which can damage internal conductors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for demanding stage use.
  • Secure locking Speakon connectors prevent accidental disconnection.
  • Dual 1.5mm copper conductors ensure good signal integrity.
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor professional audio applications.
  • RoHS compliant for environmental consideration.

Cons

  • 2-pole locking connectors are not universally compatible with all speaker systems.
  • Limited to 3 meters in length, which may be insufficient for very large venues.
  • Only one cable is included per pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the 'Output' or 'Speaker Out' on your amplifier or powered mixer.
  2. Identify the 'Input' on your speaker cabinet.
  3. Align the notches on the male Speakon connector of the cable with the corresponding slot on the female Speakon socket of the speaker or amplifier.
  4. Insert the connector fully and twist clockwise until it locks into place. A distinct 'click' indicates a secure connection.
  5. Repeat for the other end of the cable.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for use with amplifiers and powered mixers that have 2-pole Speakon outputs.
  • It connects to speaker cabinets that have 2-pole Speakon inputs.
  • Important Note: This cable is *not* compatible with keyed 2-pole or 4-pole Speakon connectors. Always ensure your equipment uses standard 2-pole connectors.

Care:

  • After use, disconnect by pressing the release tab on the connector and twisting counter-clockwise.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled to avoid kinks or damage to the internal conductors.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. A dry cloth is usually sufficient; avoid solvents.
  • Inspect the cable periodically for any signs of wear or damage to the outer jacket or connectors.
