How to Replace Speaker Cables With a Speakon

Do your speaker cables frequently fall out of place due to worn out 1/4-inch jacks? Alternative speakON ports create more secure connections. Most amplifiers and speaker cabinets feature support speakON connections. Simply connecting these devices with a standard speakON cable will allow you to leave your speaker cable in the dust. However, not all devices offer these superior ports. SpeakON to 1/4-inch cable adapters allow users to connect speakON-ready devices to devices that feature only 1/4-inch jacks.
