  • Silver-Plated Brass Contacts Maintain Low Contact Resistance Across Thousands Of Mating Cycles

The Neutrik NL8FC is an 8-pole female cable-end speakON connector designed for audio engineers, systems integrators, and touring production crews who demand a termination solution that holds up under repeated use and demanding environments. Its Quick Lock latch mechanism ensures a positive, audible connection that won't release under vibration or cable stress — a critical requirement in live sound and fixed installation scenarios where loose speaker connections are unacceptable.

With screw-type terminals that accommodate up to 4 mm² wire and a chuck-type strain relief system supporting cables from 8 to 20 mm in diameter, the NL8FC accommodates a wide range of speaker cable gauges without adapters or workarounds. Contacts are rated at 30A rms continuous and are touch-proof, meeting IEC, UL, and CSA safety standards — making them suitable for permanent installed sound as well as high-power touring applications. The high-impact polyamide shell and zinc diecast locking element are built to survive over 5,000 mating cycles.

As the industry-standard format for professional loudspeaker connections, speakON connectors are specified on virtually every professional amplifier and speaker enclosure, and the NL8FC slots into that ecosystem with the build quality and engineering consistency that Neutrik is known for across professional audio infrastructure worldwide.
