To assemble the Neutrik Speakon NL4FC connector, complete the following steps: 1. Strip back 3/4-inch of the cable casing. Strip off 1/4-inch from the end of each of the conductors down to bare wire, and insert the brass fittings. Slide the cable tension clip (D) and the speakon coupler (E) through the cable end. Insert each wire with the brass fittings into the top of appropriate slot of the connector insert (B) as shown in diagrams 10 and 11. Use a 1. 5-mm Allen key to tighten the connection. Be sure to properly match the positive (+) and negative (­) leads of each wire. Slide the connector insert (B) into the connector housing (A), making sure that the large notch on the outer edge of the insert lines up with the large groove on the inside of the connector housing. The insert should slide easily through the housing and out the other side until it extends approximately 3 /4-inch from the end of the housing. Slide the cable tension clip (D) along the cable and insert into the housing (A), making sure that the large notch lines up with the large groove on the inside of the connector housing (A). The cable tension clip (D) should slide easily into the housing until only 3 /8-inch of the cable tension clip (D) extends from the back end of the connector. Slide the coupler (E) along the cable and screw it onto the end of the housing (A). Before tightening, you may want to test the connector to make sure it has been assembled properly.
