Professional steel jack plates designed for PA speaker cabinet builders, repair techs, and venues upgrading existing sound systems. These recessed plates accept dual Speakon or dual XLR connectors with standard Series D mounting patterns.

Each plate provides a clean, professional connection point for speaker cabinets while protecting connectors from damage during transport and setup. The recessed design keeps connectors flush with the cabinet surface, reducing snag points and cable stress.

Built from durable steel construction with a black finish, these plates measure 6¾" x 5½" overall and require a 5¼" x 3⅞" cabinet cutout. The serviceable design allows connector replacement without removing the entire plate from the cabinet. Mounting holes follow industry-standard Series D spacing, ensuring compatibility with most professional Speakon and XLR connectors.

Sound engineers building custom PA systems, cabinet repair shops, and venues retrofitting older speakers will find these plates essential for professional installations. They're equally valuable for mobile DJs upgrading road cases or churches improving their sound system reliability.

Installation requires basic woodworking tools and compatible connectors (sold separately). Each plate includes mounting hardware and fits standard cabinet construction methods. The two-pack format covers a complete stereo pair or provides a backup for future repairs.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping to keep your sound system projects moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What connectors work with these jack plates?

These plates accept any dual Speakon or dual XLR connectors that use the standard Series D mounting pattern. The mounting holes are specifically sized for professional-grade connectors, making them compatible with most major brands. Connectors are sold separately, allowing you to choose the exact type needed for your application.

What cabinet cutout size do I need for installation?

You'll need to cut a rectangular opening measuring 5¼" x 3⅞" in your speaker cabinet. The plates measure 6¾" x 5½" overall, providing adequate overlap for secure mounting. Standard woodworking tools like a router or jigsaw work well for creating the cutout in plywood or MDF cabinets.

Can I replace individual connectors without removing the entire plate?

Yes, these plates feature a serviceable design that allows connector replacement from the front of the cabinet. This means you can swap out damaged Speakon or XLR connectors without accessing the back of the cabinet or removing the entire plate assembly, saving time during repairs.

Are these suitable for high-power PA applications?

The steel construction and recessed design make these plates suitable for professional PA systems. However, the power handling depends entirely on the Speakon or XLR connectors you install and the gauge of wire used. The plates themselves are built to withstand the physical demands of touring and permanent installations.

Do mounting screws come included with the plates?

Yes, each plate includes the necessary mounting hardware for cabinet installation. You'll need to separately purchase the Speakon or XLR connectors and appropriate speaker wire for your specific application. The two-pack format provides everything needed to outfit a stereo pair of cabinets.
