First you are mixing balance and unbalanced connections with those XLRs and RCAs. Second, I would not use the Speakons. There are screws that hold the wires in on the NL4s. So, good luck getting those little 22awg wires to stay in there. Third, why not use a multipin connector designed for the job. Rapco, ProCo, Whirlwind, etc all have multipin connectors that may be cable and surface mounted. You can order a custom cable already soldered and terminated, so that all you would have to do (providing you supply the proper measurements, is plug the components in. Then, all you would have to do is connect your one connector for audio, one connector for power, and you are done.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the NL4's (the speakon connectors) do not provide a balanced signal??
Also - as far as the screwing in is concerned on the nl4 - i was planning on soldering the wire anyways -- the screws are too unreliable.
That being said, maybe my original post was a bit misleading. I already have the 2 xlr jacks hooked up on my mixer -- they run from my mixer to my amp.
What I want to do is neaten the way that serato is hooked up - not have to dig through my coffin for every gig.
Can you provide a link to this multipin connector that you speak of? Remember, with serato I have to run RCA's to this unit...
Thanks in advance..

I thought that I read that you were using your coffin's surface mount XLRs to connect to RCA inputs on your mixer. I reread and see that the XLR's were for the mics. Fine.Again, what you ae doing is not common. You could knock out your connections with one connector and a loom. That is the right way to do it.

Ok.
I agree it is not common, that is why I am posting - I am sure there is a better way :)
Can you go a bit deeper into "...with one connector and a loom.."
I am sort of new to this stuff - what does this mean?
Thanks.
