What kind of cable connects the left and right speakers?

Postby bingefeller » Tue Jul 10, 2018 3:53 pm

The cable that comes with the iLoud is a little too long and I would like a shorter one. I'm having some problems identifying it and would like to know what kind it is - is it some kind of a 4 pin DIN cable?

Many thanks!

The cable is a proprietary cable, so to shorten you may want to put a "loop" in the cable (make sure it isn't kinking anywhere though, a smooth circular loop) and tie it. This sort of method can usually be tucked away somewhere fairly easily.

Hello
I have the same kind of problem but for a special installation I need a longer cable. Before buying the speakers I wasn't aware that the cables were so special... Is there any possibility to get those cables in 4 meter length or more? I guess that cutting the cable and making it longer will end with a bad sound.

For the rest the speakers are just perfect for my use.
Also what kind of bolt do I need to fix the speakers from below?

Thanks

It's a ⅜" hole....a mic stand adapter is needed, depending on your installation, you can go to a hardware store, buy two bolts, and drill holes in your desk and mount your monitors.
