This is not advantageous to most users that want to reconfigure their systems or quickly change out an amp. The neutrik Speakon® connector provides the most convenient solution to this problem, eliminating the need for spade plugs or bare wire end cables. major speaker manufacturers have been using Speakon connectors on their products for years, so chances are you are ready to use the Speakon connection. With Speakon connectors, you can connect straight from the amplifier to the speaker. The Speakon connector used on this amplifier meets all known safety regulations. Once wired correctly, the connector cannot be plugged in backwards, causing the type of inverted polarity situations that have become common with banana hookups. This connection will provide a safe, secure and reliable method of connecting your speakers to your new amplifier.
