SAPT7 (4 Pack) - Speakon Connector 8 Pole
Professional Speakon connectors for sound engineers, live sound techs, and anyone building custom speaker cables for PA systems. These 8-pole connectors handle the demanding connection requirements of professional audio installations and mobile rigs.
Each connector features robust metal latch locks that ensure secure connections during transport and performance. The 8-pole configuration supports bi-amped speaker systems, allowing separate high and low frequency signals through a single cable connection.
Built to handle 30 amp continuous current, these connectors work with speaker cable diameters from 8-16mm, covering most professional speaker cable gauges. The precision-machined contacts maintain reliable signal transfer under the high current demands of powered speakers and amplifier outputs. Quality construction means these connectors will handle repeated connections and disconnections without degrading performance.
Use these for building custom speaker cables, repairing damaged connectors on existing cables, or expanding your cable inventory for larger installations. Essential for venues running bi-amped systems, line arrays, or any setup where you need to separate high and low frequency signals. Mobile DJs and bands benefit from having spare connectors for emergency cable repairs during gigs.
This 4-pack provides enough connectors for two complete speaker cables (male and female ends). Compatible with all Speakon-equipped speakers and amplifiers. Comes with Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships ready for immediate installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 4-pole and 8-pole Speakon connectors?
8-pole connectors provide four additional contact points compared to standard 4-pole connectors, allowing you to run separate high and low frequency signals through a single cable. This makes them essential for bi-amped speaker systems where the crossover occurs in the amplifier or DSP rather than inside the speaker cabinet. Standard full-range speakers typically use 4-pole connectors.
Can I use these connectors with any speaker cable gauge?
These connectors accommodate speaker cable diameters from 8-16mm, which covers most professional speaker cable gauges from 12 AWG to larger multiconductor cables. The adjustable cable clamp ensures a secure fit regardless of cable thickness. Always match your cable gauge to your power requirements and run length.
Do these work for repairing existing Speakon cables?
Yes, these connectors are perfect for repairing damaged Speakon cables or building custom lengths. You'll need to cut away the damaged connector, strip the wire ends, and solder or screw-clamp the conductors to the appropriate terminals inside the connector. Basic soldering skills and wire strippers are required for installation.
How many speaker cables can I make with this 4-pack?
This 4-pack provides enough connectors to complete two speaker cables, since each cable requires both male and female ends. For a typical stereo PA setup, you'd use all four connectors to create left and right speaker cables from your amplifier or mixer to your speakers.
Are these compatible with all Speakon-equipped speakers?
These 8-pole connectors are physically compatible with all Speakon speaker inputs, including 4-pole inputs. However, the additional four poles will only function when connected to equipment specifically designed for 8-pole operation, such as bi-amped speakers or amplifiers with separate high/low outputs. They work perfectly fine with standard 4-pole speakers using just the primary contacts.
