4.3 Loudspeaker connections
Your power mixer is equipped with high-quality loudspeaker
connectors (compatible to Neutrik® Speakon®), which ensure
safe and trouble-free operation. The Speakon® connector was
especially developed for high-power loudspeakers. Once it is
plugged in, it safely locks into position and cannot be accidentally
disengaged. It prevents the occurrence of electrical shock and
ensures the correct polarity. Each of the loudspeaker jacks
carries only the assigned single signal (see the information given
on the rear panel of the power mixer).
