How to Solder : Speaker Cable Connectors & Soldering

[bareknuckles2u]

too long to get to the soldering...fuck!

[quickshotproductions]

...Wheres the 1/4 inch that you spoke about? Thats the only one I'm interested in.

[MucusFelidae]

Hmmm...You guy have no clue.

DO NO TIN WIRE ENDS.

DO NO TIN WIRE ENDS.

DO NO TIN WIRE ENDS.

DO NO TIN WIRE ENDS.

DO NO TIN WIRE ENDS.

The tin will flow under pressure and your connection will get bad

and even defect with time.

click the red thing at the bottom of the video that says CC

it will turn off captions

[LoomyX]

What sort of imbesile makes this shit? This is actually 2 minutes of NOTHING.

[AhKillYu]

FUCKU EXPERT VILLAGE WHY DO YOU HAVE SOMANY VIDEOS WITH SUCH LITTLE INFORMATION. I DONT WANNA SEE SOME GUY INTRODUCE HIMSELF 10 TIMES JUST TO FIND THE BIT OF INFORMATION IM AFTER!

[SatanNazi]

of course, expert village fucks it up again

[Flashtoorev]

"Approaching from the side..."

"We simply slide them in..."

"We simply screw 'em in tight..."

[AceFire117]

Fuck these (subtitles ?) it's not subtitles if you can't see the actual vid DAMN IT !

[CallMeCrunchy]

@AceFire117 turn them off then dumbfuck

[AceFire117]

@CallMeCrunchy the subtitles used to cover the all screen and with no way of getting them off..

[falcon747474]

Dude.....lose the captions....they're annoying and you can't see anything.

[progressivechurch]

Dude you skipped 1/4" ????

[30301500]

their from arizona I wouldn't expect them to do anything anyway.

[mascadjon]

How do you disassemble a 2 post Neutrik connector?

[JRoscoe007]

is this for real, Did I miss the soldering section? That banna cable looks difficult..You should zoom in Im lost.

[Gwaak001]

at the end it says were going to discussing insead of were going to be discussing.  :0

[titanwar990]

Wow. Expert village fails again.

I challenge them to make a video that actually promises whats stated in the title.

[zedrein18]

None of these good as monster...I know I know, monster is notoriously overpriced, but face is there product is much better in terms of sound quality.

[dionysuspsi]

Indeed quarter-to-quarters are still used, and used much more often than banana jacks in the industry. and NEUTRIK is actually the name of a company that makes Speakon, ethercon, XLR, plug, etc connectors, essentially every audio connector under the sun they make. I've never heard anyone call them a "neutrik connector". Most commonly by the name "NL4", the most common version on the speakon. Most large companies don't use the NL2, because they use the NL4 ...

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

Where was the soldering in this vid, lol.

[callawaynike]

Speakon made by Neutrik

[chazum0]

noytrick? i thought it was speakohm.

[djbisho]

It might be concidered old school but i'd like to see the cannon/xlr plugs done aswell. I bought 2 mic leads but they dont work as speaker leads.

[Animatronica]

No duh.

Mic leads should NEVER be used as speaker leads.

What the heck were you thinking? You could damage your amplifier.

[djscrizzle]

Tinned wires, can actually vibrate out of a screwed joint. the screws are designed to apply pressure, clamping the wire in place. A soldered joint, will deform to an extent, and under pressure, the solder is plastic. This allows the tinned wire to fall out. I have had this happen a few times myself. now, I just carefully prep the cable and screw down the connections.

On the Neutriks and the banana plugs, you are able to solder (carefully) the connections, and not have any problems whatsoever.

[grimslater]

Ha, I wonder if he tinned all his mains power plug cables too 'so they don't short out'.

If anyone is confused it is not 'the most important thing' it is most definitely the most important thing not to do. Solder is not designed for high power applications, hence speaker cable connectors have screws to attach the cable.

[southerner66]

I agree. With crimped or screw connections, you want clean metal-to-metal contact. You tin wires if you're going to solder them to something. Current thinking among audiophiles is that a strong crimp connection is one of the best because it forms a "cold weld." People used to crimp and then kind of run solder into the joint, but this can actually degrade the joint.

[iamkellen]

where's the 1/4"?!?!?!? damn!

[turnernova]

what about 1/4"?

[chucksheen]

Tinned?

[tobykuhnert1]

youhave to tin the wire before you apply it to the plug so that it doesn't part while you are soldering it.

all you do it saturate the wire with solder.

hope this helps:D

[hCJBsy2kf]

the store. radio shack is a common place.

[scorbass]

where do you get the cable and connecters?
