What is the difference between the NL4 and Terminal connections?
The NL4 connectors are designed to handle the higher currents produced by amplifiers and have a
locking feature to prevent accidental disconnections. The NL4 connectors are more convenient to use if
you will be regularly moving the speakers do different locations. The Terminal connections are designed
more for a permanent installation. The Terminal connection uses a bare wire connection for both the
positive and negative wire connections. Using the terminal connection also offers more flexibility when
choosing bulk speaker wire.
