4.3 Loudspeaker connection

Your EUROPOWER is equipped with high-quality Neutrik Speakon-compatible loudspeaker connectors, 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 connectors carries only the assigned single signal (see tab. 4.1/fig. 4.5 and the information 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 mixer. Please check the pin connections of your loudspeakers and cables depending on the EUROPOWER speaker output you choose.
