Stereo Connections Using the Neutrik Speakon output connectors:

Recent regulatory requirements in Europe have outlawed the use of the dual banana plug and force amp users to terminate their speaker

cables with spade lugs or bare wire ends. This is not advantageous to most users that want to reconﬁgure their systems or quickly

change out an amp. The Neutrik Speakon® connector provides the most convenient solution to this problem, eliminating the need for

spade plugs or bare wire end cables. Major speaker manufacturers have been using Speakon connectors on their products for years,

so chances are you are ready to use the Speakon connection. With Speakon connectors, you can connect straight from the ampliﬁer

to the speaker. The Speakon connector used on this ampliﬁer meets all known safety regulations. Once wired correctly, the connector

cannot be plugged in backwards, causing the type of inverted polarity situations that have become common with banana hookups. This

connection will provide a safe, secure and reliable method of connecting your speakers to your new ampliﬁer. You can purchase the

Speakon® NL4FC connectors from your local audio dealer.

When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using bare wire; Unscrew the red and

black caps on the binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red

and black caps. Strip back the wire insulation 1/2” (13mm). Insert the bare wire into the

hole that was reveled by unscrewing the binding post cap. After inserting the wire into

the binding post hole, screw the binding post cap down on the wire. To reduce the risk of

shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post

does not come in contact with that of another. Typical speaker output using bare wire. Insert

bare wire into the binding post and tighten.
