😳umm what? You “enjoyed his visual demonstration?” 👀😳

@@kennisrussell :D

Vinni Lopes lmao, it’s always so funny to watch the “cable Guys” squirm as they explain male and female connecters . 😂

corrda1993 no this means you can run a biamp speaker, if you use nl4 spliter’s you can do that but it’s u comon. Most people only use 2 of the 4 legs in the speakon, infact when you buy it sometimes it’s only 2 wires not 4 you would need 4 wires two run a speaker in bi-amp larger scale pro audio systems use a speakon nl8 cable with 8 wires/conductors in it. Depending how the rig is wired and the amps are wired this sometimes caries both signals. Most of these sized systems become 4-5 way systems so sub, low, mid, hi. Sometimes a mid high. The same cable may be used but each one will be running a different signal

Hi. Do you think that speakon splitters work to connect to passive speakers to an active one?

it depends on whether it is NL2, NL4 or NL8. NL2 has two contacts so you can only use a cable with to conductors which transmit one speaker signal. If you have an NL4 plug that is also hooked up to a 4-conductor cable, you can transport 2 speaker signals and NL8, which is physically much bigger can transport 4 speaker signals. So when you have two speakers that should receive a different signal, you take an NL4 cable to the first one and then you need to use a crossover cable (or splitter) for the other speaker. The reason being is that Speaker 1 is only going to use the signal on pins 1+ and 1-, and speaker 2 is also going to only use the signal from those pins, but because the signal for speaker 2 has so far been transported on pins 2+ and 2-, you need a cable that takes what is on pins 2+ and 2- and puts it onto pins 1+ and 1-, which is a crossover cable. I don't think these are commercially available, and another option is to hook up a splitter to the free speakon jack on speaker 1 and connect your normal speakon cable to that. @techtutorialsbyhenry : nope, this will not work. Speakon cables are only designed for transporting a speaker level signal between an amp and a passive speaker. An active speaker wants a line level signal to amplify in its integrated amp and has an XLR input for this purpose. Converting speakon to XLR and putting a speaker-level signal into the electronics would likely fry the active speaker's amp. The only case where you can hook a passive speaker up to an active one is if the active speaker's integrated amp is designed to drive another speaker, in which case the active speaker would already have a speakon out and no splitter would be needed. However, I am aware of no such speaker because it would not make sense to build it.

I bought a krk rokit 7 g4 pair. U know what cables I need?

@@kennisrussell Thanks, Kennis! You're amazing for replying on Christmas Eve. Have a great one!

Incidentally, I've recently used such a cable to hook up a Philips 541 MFB vintage speaker. Sounds fine.
