Details
The Neutrik range of Speakons is the accepted industry standard, offering exceptional quality and durability. They are specifically designed to carry high currents with the hard plastic shell acting as a shield for the user. These connectors are used in conjunction with speaker cable, not audio cable.
Attention - Speakon is NOT to be used as an AC mains connector
The Silver Contacts are made from bronze and plated with silver. The conductivity is superior to gold
