Neutrik Product Line ................................................... 19

The Neutrik speakON® Series, known in the professional
audio industry as "The loudspeaker connector" has become
the state of the art in speaker and amplifier connectivity.
Introduced in 1987 speakON was invented by Neutrik as aresult of customer demand for a reliable speaker connection.
The pro audio market quickly realized the advantages of thiscompletely new connection system.

The design is optimized for loudspeaker applications withan outstanding cost-performance ratio. As market leader for
speaker connections we are proud to offer an all-encompassing product line for the specific needs of today‘s market.
Recent designs such as the STXX series and the speakON
Combo offer solutions for nearly every speaker application.

Integrated Design

One of Neutrik's goals is to create products that areeasily distinguished from other manufacturers. We havesuccessfully achieved this in our engineering efforts as wellas the patent and trademark protection granted for our
unique products. To further establish a clear difference
between Neutrik and our competitor’s products we giveour customer the means to easily identify original Neutrik
products. Therefore all of our new products such as the SPX
and the STX series are designed according to the protected
integrated design. (EU-Pat.: DM/057 379, US-Pat. Pending,

Features & Benefits

Today's speakON series is a result of a continuous productimprovement process. The principal idea has been kept andoptimized with material and design modifications over theyears.
A traditional speakON stands for:• Reliable and robust, easy and fast to assemble• 2, 4 and 8 pole cable and chassis connectors in various
versions• Optimal "Quick Lock" system for speaker applications• Neutrik proven and unique chuck type cable strain relief• Outstanding cost-performance ratio• De facto standard• Meets all worldwide safety requirements (IEC, UL, ...)
Beyond that, the latest designs as the SPXX and STXX series
offer:• Up to 50 A current rating• Only 3 parts with 1 piece strain relief design for even		 easier assembly• Convertable right-angle version• Weatherproof and extremely robust
