3.3.1 Cable and panel connector part numbers
Please note the following part numbers when ordering loudspeaker connectors to
make up cables and patch panels
Neutrik NL connectors
NL8FC 8 pole cable (female)
NL8MPR 8 pole panel (male)
NL8MM 8 pole inline coupler (male-male)
Connectors should be kept in good, clean, uncorroded condition to ensure full,
undistorted loudspeaker performance. Corroded or damaged pins and sockets can
cause severe distortion or loss of signal.
3.3.2 Recommended loudspeaker cable
Although only 4-core cable is required for W8CS’, many users will find it convenient
to standardise on 8-core NL8 cables to avoid confusion when using other
loudspeakers in the Wavefront range.
