A Speakon cable is designed to carry high-power audio signals from an amplifier to a loudspeaker. Unlike jack or XLR cables, Speakon connectors are made for secure, high-current connections and feature a twist-lock mechanism that prevents accidental unplugging – perfect for live setups, PA systems, and touring gear.

Speakon is a patented connector type developed by Neutrik, and has become the industry standard for speaker connections in professional audio.
