INPUTS - 

The V PLUS Series allows you to use XLR 3-pin input 

connector per channel, a XLR female jack for balanced 

connections to connect the output signal from a mixer, cross-over 

or EQ to your V PLUS Series power amplifiers. A balanced 

connection is recommended for cable runs longer than 20ft. When 

constructing your own XLR cables follow the pin configuration 

described below for proper connections. You may use the two XLR 

“Input Thru” jacks to jump a parallel connection to another amplifier 

or other device. For example: Connect a XLR cable to the input of 

channel one. You may now connect a XLR cable from the channel 

one “Input Thru” jack to the input jack of another amplifier's 

channel one input. This will reduce the use of “Y” cables.

STEREO CONNECTIONS USING 
THE NEUTRIK SPEAKON OUTPUT CONNECTORS:

Recent regulatory requirements in Europe have outlawed the use of the 

dual banana plug and force amplifier users to terminate their speaker 

cables with spade lugs or bare wire ends. This is not advantageous to 

most users that want to reconfigure their systems or quickly change out 

an amplifier. The Neutrik Speakon connector provides the most 

convenient solution to this problem, eliminating the need for spade lugs 

or bare wire end cables. Major speaker manufacturers have been using 

Speakon connectors on their products for years, so chances you are 

ready to use the Speakon connection. With Speakon connectors, you 

can connect straight from the amplifier to the speaker. The Speakon 

connector used on this amplifier meets all known safety regulations. 

Once wired correctly, the connector cannot be plugged in backwards, 

causing the type of inverted polarity situations that have become 

common with banana hookups. This connection will provide a safe, 

secure and reliable method of connecting your speakers to your new 

amplifier. You can purchase the Speakon NL4FC connectors from your 

local audio dealer.
