Applications EXAMPLE OF SPEAKON CONNECTOR SYSTEM APPLICATIONS There are two groups on the speakon connectors: Group 1 (+1, –1) and Group 2 (+2, –2) as indicated in the diagram. In order to use it, your speaker must have multi-functions (i.e. enable two sources of signal for input). If your speaker does not have multi-functions, it would not work with the Group 2 for connection. Please refer to the following diagram for connection.
