I would like to use the Neutrik Speakon connectors on my Bag End speakers. How should the cables be wired?
The Neutrik Speakon NL4MP connector is a keyed, high current, four conductor device which allows both the high and low frequency signals for a bi-amped loudspeaker system to run through the same 4-conductor cable. Bag End uses pin 1+ and pin 1- for connection to subwoofers. Pin 2+ and pin 2- are used for mid/high loudspeakers. All four conductors on both Speakon connectors are wired in parallel, but only two conductors are connected to the driver(s) in the enclosure. This permits an easy parallel connection to other similar loudspeakers (if your amplifier can handle the lower impedance load) and allows the use of a short jumper between the subwoofers and the mid/high speakers in a bi-amped system. Banana and 1/4″ phone jacks are also provided on mid/high loudspeakers. Subwoofers include banana jacks on each circuit (“Low” and “High”).
