I feel really stupid in asking this but i've got an NL2FC that looks like the attached pic.. and I do not know how to dis-assemble it.
It's a cable i've been asked to repair; i've never used this series of speakon - mine are all newer or older (and NL4 or NL8)
The trouble i'm having is getting the terminals exposed. I'm guessing that I need to do something with the grey sliding jacket but I could be wrong. I know you slide and pull when you unmate from a socket but do you still slide to get at the internals ?
These appear to be like the female jack line connectors - those are a bit counter-intuitive but once you know what you're doing you're fine.
help !

Not terribly clear, but it's a start.
Have fun, good luck.

Do you try and push that down, then get the grey thing to slide over.. while the screwdriver is still in the hole and then remove screwdriver ?
I've been trying that maneouvre for a while and figured I was going about it wrong.
Do I persist ?

PS: Next time you're in Perth Australia look me up. If I was more switched on about ATL being part of soundwave I would have made contact with you before.

I'm glad it's not just me that's having trouble.
The assembly instructions are quite clear and easy to follow - but I guess they designed this plug ONLY to be assembled and never dis-assembled !
Thanks guys,
andrew

Cut them off and run them over with anything very heavy!

In a pinch I had to re-use these ends (on location at a wedding, speaker needed to be moved further away. I had to make a longer cable without any new parts.) I remember poking at it with a mini screwdriver and eventually getting it a apart. But, for the price... you might as well do what everyone else recommends.

I don't have too much trouble with them. Once you've taken a few apart you know that you have to have the right tools before you start. What I do like is that they indicate pretty clearly that it's a cable that only has 2 wires in it. When you see that gray ring you know that you have to keep looking for another cable

Try the easy way! Step 1: Cut off NL2 Step 2: Install NL4 Problem solved. $4 will eliminate a big headache. |
+ infinity!
The NL2 stands in stark contrast to many of Neutrik's amazing product offerings. You'd think it was a knock-off!
