NON-Neutrik Speakon Cable. Performance?

[agedhorse]

You can get the local at Guitar Center, or any decent music shop.

You should be able to buy 14/4 so, soow, or sjoow cord by the foot at any big box retailer like Home Depot.

The OP's application does not require 4 conductors, wiring 4 conductors is more difficult because at one end the conductors cross over to the appropriate terminals because of the lay of the wire.

14/4 SO is a very tight fit on the FC's even with the largest chuck, and 12/4 SO will not fit. The connector is really spec'd for SJ class cable.

Plugs & jacks are the first thing to go these days on new gear because so many manufacturers are using these knockoffs. Neutrik all the way.

You are correct, and you'll go crazy and get bloody fingers trying to make it work. Not that I know from experience or anything.

SO cord is rated for 600V----the extra thick jacket is not needed for a speaker cord
SJO---- the J is for "junior"---- rated for 300V--- still over kill for a speaker, but a good choice, and easier to work with

Yes, but as my wife knows, I'll try anything once.

She doesn't like that motto. And I hate sleeping in the guest room.

When I was in contracting, I used Neutrik exclusively for Speakon style connectors and experienced no quality or warranty issues.

Based on my positive experiences with Amphenol RF connectors, I decided to try the Speakon style Amphenol cable ends on some of my own equipment. So far, so good, but the first ones have only been in service for about a year. I like using the Ampenol connectors for cables with a relatively small outside diameter, and I like using the Neutrik connectors for cables with larger outside diameters.
