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 9).

2. Slide the wire tensioner (D) and the Speakon coupler (E) through the cable end. See 

Figure 10.

3. Insert each wire with the brass fittings into the top of appropriate slot of the connector 

insert (B) as shown in Figure 11. 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 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.
