Quick connect binding posts?

CarlyBoy · 27th December 2007, 12:15 PM

Perhaps I'm not searching with the correct keywords... I'm looking for quick connect/disconnect binding posts - ones that don't require reefing down on a nut to secure a good connection. I've seen these in the past in a publication somewhere and don't even know if they are still available. They had a special terminator for the speaker cable that mated with a special post. No, not banana plugs. Had some sort of lock pin which ensured they didn't pop out. Thanks for any help.

I've never seen anything similar to what you describe, but why not just go for Speakons?

That's it! Maybe a dumb question: what's the difference between 2-pole and 4-pole?

Erm, you can connect two individual wires with two pole, and four with four pole?

2 poles, 2 connections MONO
4 poles, 4 connections STEREO or you can bridge them for mono.

Were you looking for pin banana plugs?

I think you might be thinking of Speakon connectors
