paddy109 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I have a couple of Nuetrik speakon connectors and want to make my own cable to use from Ashdown ABM 500 to Barefaced 210. What cable do I use and where can I buy 1m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Any old flexible 2-core cable will do. 6A or 13A 2-core mains flex for instance. But if you want to go posh try belden5000 10gauge which is about £15 for 2m. http://www.bluejeanscable.co.uk/store/speaker/index.htm Or ...buy a 20m speakon to speakon cable for under £20: https://www.simplysoundandlighting.co.uk/products/roar-speaker-speakon-to-speakon-cable-20m and use your connectors to make it into two shorter ones.

PaulWarning Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I used some old lawn mower extension cable when I was making up up a long lead for our PA, no problems at all, and it's yellow, so easy to see 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 It's a good idea to use cable that is fat enough for the cable grip in the Speakon connector to hold it securely. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
