Loudspeaker connection

4.3

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.
