SPEAKON ASSEMBLY: You will need a pair of Neutrik Speakon
®
NL4FC connectors. You will also
need high-quality two or four conductor subwoofer cable, a pair of needle-nosed pliers and a 1.5-
mm Allen key to assemble the Speakon connectors to your subwoofer wire. To assemble the Neutrik
Speakon NL4FC connector, complete the following steps:
1. Strip back 3 /4-inch of the cable casing. Strip off 1
/4-inch from the end of each of the conductors down
to bare wire, and insert the brass fittings ( Figure 10).
2. Slide the cable tension clip (D) and the speakon
coupler (E) through the cable end. See figure 11.
3. Insert each wire with the brass fittings into the top of
appropriate slot of the connector insert (B) as shown
in figures 11 and 12. Use a 1.5-mm Allen key to tighten
the connection (Figure 12).
4. Be sure to properly match the positive (+) and
negative (–) leads of each wire (Figure 13).
5. Slide the connector insert (B) into the connector
housing (A), making sure that the large notch on the
outer edge of the insert lines up with the large groove
on the inside of the connector housing. The insert
should slide easily through the housing and out the
other side until it extends approximately 3 /4-inch
from the end of the housing.
6. Slide the cable tension clip (D) along the cable and
insert into the housing (A), making sure that the large
notch lines up with the large groove on the inside of
the connector housing (A). The cable tension clip (D)
should slide easily into the housing until only 3 /8-inch
of the cable tension clip (D) extends from the back end
of the connector.
7. Slide the coupler (E) along the cable and screw it
onto the end of the housing (A). Before tightening, you
may want to test the connector to make sure it has
been assembled properly.
