You will need a pair of Neutrik speakon NL4FC connectors. You will also need high-
quality two or four conductor speakon cable, a pair of needle-nosed pliers and a 1.5-mm
Allen key to assemble the speakon connectors to your speaker 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 12).
2. Slide the wire tensioner (D) and the Speakon coupler (E) through the cable end. See
Figure 13.
3. Insert each wire with the brass fittings into the top of appropriate slot of the connector
insert (B) as shown in Figure 14. Use a 1.5-mm Allen key to tighten the connection
(Figure 15).
4. Be sure to properly match the positive (+) and negative (-) leads of each wire (Figure
16).
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 tensioner (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 tensioner (D) should slide easily into the housing until only 3/8-
inch of the tensioner (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.
