What Neutrik Speakon Connectors do you use??

[But it Hertz]

I just received a load of these Neutrik NL4MP-ST Speakon Connectors but they leak so much air you can literally breath through them!!!

WTF are they thinking?

The design is such that you couldn't really seal them after wiring.... unless you went crazy... but then you couldn't easily change it out later.

There are holes *everywhere* Ridiculous!

Anyway, are there any air tight alternatives? What are people using out there? PE URL's appreciated please!

Cheers.

Neutrik NL4MP Speakon Connector 4 Pole Panel Mount
Solder or crimp connectors rather than screw connectors, but it's air tight.

Either that or build a small box around the connectors on the inside.

WTF were you thinking?

You bought the panel-mount style...which is supposed to be mounted in equipment racks & wall plates using knock outs where being air-tight isn't an issue.

+2 if you're using metal terminal cups.


Otherwise return 'em and get this style which is intended for mounting directly to a wooden cabinet:

Try silicone sealing tape. It's removable with some effort.
