Setup and Connection

The Monster Prolink Studio Pro 2000 Speaker Cable utilizes Speakon connectors, which are designed for secure and reliable connections to compatible audio equipment such as power amplifiers and speaker cabinets.

1. Identify Connectors: Ensure both your amplifier and speaker cabinet have Speakon input/output jacks. The cable features identical Speakon connectors on both ends.
2. Insert and Twist: Align the Speakon connector with the corresponding jack on your amplifier. Insert the connector fully and twist it clockwise until it locks securely into place. You should feel a distinct click.
3. Connect to Speaker: Repeat the process for the speaker cabinet, inserting the other end of the cable into the speaker's Speakon input and twisting to lock.
4. Verify Connection: Gently tug on both ends of the cable to ensure they are firmly seated and locked. A secure connection prevents signal loss and potential damage.

Operating Instructions

Once the Monster Prolink Studio Pro 2000 Speaker Cable is securely connected between your amplifier and speaker, it is ready for operation. No specific operational steps are required for the cable itself, as it functions as a passive signal conductor.

• Power On Equipment: Ensure all connected audio equipment (amplifier, mixer, speakers) is powered on according to their respective user manuals.
• Audio Signal Flow: The cable will transmit the audio signal from your amplifier to your speakers. Adjust volume and other audio settings on your amplifier or mixer.
• Disconnection: To disconnect the cable, press the release tab on the Speakon connector and twist counter-clockwise before pulling it out. Do not pull directly on the cable without releasing the lock.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Monster Prolink Studio Pro 2000 Speaker Cable.

• Storage: When not in use, coil the cable neatly to prevent kinks and tangles. Avoid sharp bends or extreme angles that can stress the internal conductors.
• Cleaning: Wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Environmental Conditions: Store the cable in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.
• Avoid Stress: Do not pull, stretch, or place heavy objects on the cable. Ensure cables are not tripped over during use.
