It is an NL4-compatible four-pole speaker twist lock connector designed to mate with standard NL4 chassis connectors. speakON\u00ae is a registered trademark of Neutrik AG; this is a compatible equivalent product, not a Neutrik product.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this a 2-pole or 4-pole connector?<\/h3>\n<p>Four-pole, allowing one cable to carry two speaker circuits \u2014 useful for bi-amp wiring or for running two loudspeakers on one cable.<\/p>\n<h3>What cable size does it accept?<\/h3>\n<p>The chuck-type cable retention clamps the cable jacket without tools. Contact LBS with your cable O.D. and conductor size for confirmation.<\/p>\n<h3>How are the four poles marked?<\/h3>\n<p>1+, 1&minus;, 2+ and 2&minus;. The pair 1+\/1&minus; is the first speaker circuit and 2+\/2&minus; the second, which is what makes this connector usable for bi-amp wiring or for two loudspeakers on one four-conductor cable.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Products<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/fr\/product-category\/connector\/\">Connector range<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/fr\/products\/lbsrca-connector\/\">LBSRCA Professional RCA Phono Connector<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/fr\/products\/lbsxlr-connector\/\">LBSXLR 3-Pin to 7-Pin Professional XLR Connector<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"lbs-btn\" href=\"\/fr\/contact\/#inquiry-form\">Request a Cable Specification<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional four-pole speaker connector with compact housing and chuck-type cable retention.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":351,"template":"","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_lbs_model":"LBSSPK","_lbs_base_model":"LBSSPK","_lbs_variant_label":"LBSSPK","_lbs_title_zh":"Speakon\u8fde\u63a5\u5668","_lbs_summary_en":"Professional four-pole speaker twist lock connector (NL4 compatible) with compact housing and chuck-type cable retention.
