An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
That's a real oddball, I've never seen anything like it in a three pin connector. Clearly intended to keep you from plugging it in with just any old cordset.. Seems like there might be more to it? I think you might need to go back to the original manufacturer on this one unless you know exactly what is on the other side of that connector and where it goes...
I agree that it looks more like a 3 pin power connector than a speaker connector. You need to leaf through the connector catalogs of the larger connector makers (Amphenol, etc.)
Otherwise ignore the connector and try and fashion some termination pins that fit into the central bits (would 4mm round fit?)
Why 3 connections?

Well, in the original post, it says "100-230V, 50-60Hz, 1kW MAX" now that I'm seeing the connector I'm going to say those 3 pins are hot, neutral and ground for a mains connector.
Notice it's keyed so that it's impossible to reverse the connector. I don't think they'd do that on a speaker.
Edit: Can you get a picture of the entire back panel?

I'm not familiar with the OP's connector, but in the "bad old days" it was common for many sound companies to use three twist lock pin connectors for bi-amped monitors, highs "+" on one pin, lows "+" on another, and both sharing the ground connection as "-", using an amp that has shared "-".
Yeah, when you look at the pic it looks like some kind of sheet metal contraption...I don't think we're even looking at a speaker, lol.
Hi,
my favorite supplier for electronic components has these connectors, they are called GST18: Installationssteckverbinder bei Reichelt Elektronik
They also supply the data sheets - in german. If you need any help in translation, just tell me. Orginal manufacturer is Wieland Electric - Steckverbindersystem gesis CON
