OQAN QABL S-L10-S - Professional Speakon to Speakon Speaker Cable (10m)
The OQAN QABL S-L10-S is a robust and reliable connectivity solution, designed specifically for musicians, sound engineers, and rental companies seeking consistent performance in their audio setups. With a strategic length of 10 meters , this speaker cable offers the freedom needed to connect power amplifiers and heads to speaker cabinets or passive speakers in medium-sized venues, rehearsal rooms, or live events, without compromising signal integrity.
Manufactured to OQAN's high standards, this model stands out for its construction designed for everyday use. Unlike conventional instrument cables, the QABL S-L10-S is optimized to handle the high currents flowing between the amplifier and the speaker, ensuring efficient power transmission without audible losses. Its flexible yet durable outer jacket protects the internal conductors from being stepped on, twisted, and subjected to the wear and tear of setup and teardown during tours or mobile installations.
The Speakon- compatible connectors on both ends are the key strength of this cable. This system is the industry standard in professional audio thanks to its "Twist-Lock" safety locking mechanism. Once connected and twisted, the cable is mechanically locked to the equipment, completely eliminating the risk of accidental disconnections due to pulling or vibrations during a performance—something that standard charging jack connectors cannot guarantee with the same effectiveness.
Main features
-
Professional standard connectivity: Equipped with male Speakon connectors on both ends, compatible with the vast majority of power amplifiers, bass/guitar heads and passive speakers on the market.
-
Versatile 10-meter length: Offers excellent range for crossing the stage or connecting distant equipment without the need for splices that degrade the signal.
-
High-fidelity transmission: Designed with a conductor section suitable to minimize electrical resistance and ensure that all the amplifier's power reaches the speaker with clarity and definition.
-
Twist-Lock safety mechanism: The twist and lock system provides a secure physical fixation, preventing the "pop" of disconnection or sudden silence in the middle of an event.
-
Durable coating: The outer PVC cover protects the cable core from abrasion, moisture, and dust, while maintaining flexibility for easy winding after use.
Product benefits
Choosing the OQAN QABL S-L10-S cable provides immediate peace of mind. Its main benefit is operational reliability : you know the connection won't fail mechanically thanks to the Speakon connector. Furthermore, as a dedicated load cable, it protects your amplifier by providing the correct impedance and capacitance for power transmission, preventing overheating that could be caused by the improper use of instrument cables.
For the mobile user, the cable's flexibility facilitates quick and tidy setup, preventing annoying tangles. Its 10-meter length is a common "lifesaver," allowing speakers to be placed in the optimal acoustic position, even away from the power amplifier if necessary, without being limited by short 3- or 5-meter cables.
Use cases
-
Stages and Live Performances: Main connection between rack power amplifiers and passive PA speakers (Front of House or monitors).
-
Rehearsal Rooms: Link between guitar or bass amplifier heads and their respective screens (cabinets) located at a distance.
-
Mobile DJs and Events: Setting up portable sound systems where speed and safety of assembly are critical.
-
Fixed Installations: Wiring of sound systems in bars, auditoriums or churches where a durable and secure connection is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to connect my guitar to the amplifier?
No. This is a speaker cable designed to carry high power. While adapters might physically exist, speaker cables are not shielded against radio frequency interference like instrument cables, so they would produce a lot of noise. Use it only between an amplifier and a speaker.
Are the connectors compatible with the Neutrik brand?
Yes, the OQAN QABL S-L10-S Speakon-type connectors are fully compatible with industry-standard Speakon chassis ports, including those manufactured by Neutrik (NL2, NL4 in standard configuration).
Is it suitable for active (self-powered) speakers?
Generally not. Active speakers typically require signal cables (XLR or balanced jack) and a separate power cable. This cable carries the amplified signal from an external amplifier to a passive speaker.
