EUROPOWER PMP1000/PMP3000/PMP5000

4.3 Loudspeaker connections

Your power mixer is equipped with high-quality loudspeaker connectors (compatible to Neutrik® Speakon®), which ensure safe and trouble-free operation. The Speakon® connector was especially developed for high-power loudspeakers. Once it is plugged in, it safely locks into position and cannot be accidentally disengaged. It prevents the occurrence of electrical shock and ensures the correct polarity. Each of the loudspeaker jacks carries only the assigned single signal (see the information given on the rear panel of the power mixer).

Please be sure to only use commercial Speakon® cables (type NL4FC) for connecting your loudspeakers to the power mixer. Please check the pin assignment of your loudspeakers and cables dependent on the PMP speaker output you choose.
