  • What brand of banana plugs are you using?

  • @Kobei Sorry, I really don't know. I bought these from an eBay store a few years ago.

  • Thank you so much! - I was about to throw my newly purchased banana plugs in the bin because they wouldn't fit. They don't say anything in the manual about taking the lugs out.

  • @vladigor03 Glad to help. The lugs are there for something to do with safety and avoiding electric shocks (presumably not really a problem on relatively low power AV amps). I don't think the lugs are compulsory in all countries - but I'm guessing the manufacturers are covering their backs by keeping quiet about the ease of removal.

  • Thnx very much! I was wondering why those plugs wouldn't fit.

    So stupid that Yamaha doesn't mention that in the manual.

  • Nice one ,thanks mate

  • Thanks so much, appreciate u sharing ur knowledge!!

  • Hey man, are the banana plugs the same size as 6.35mm jacks ? I couldn't tell.

    Brilliant vid!

  • Perfect....Thanks

    

  • that was so useful thank you so much.

  • @musicaljones11 Quick FYI, just in case...if you ARE using your amp/speaker setup for musical instrumentation, do be sure and patch your instr. (guitar, keyboard, elec. violin, etc.LOL), to a MIXER, FIRST. :) BTW, I love elec. violins.

  • @musicaljones11 ((CONT.))>>> from below: This will be if you are using a wrap-around option on the poles, and you can go get your 1/4 inch plug "connectors" separately from Radio Shack, then attach to the wires, yourself. If you need any other help, feel free to message me back. :) HAPPY NEW YEAR, MY FRIEND!!
