Klotz AIS has announced ‘probably’ the highest-quality and ruggedest 24-way loudspeaker multicore it has so far produced in the new LSC2440YS.

Designed for resilience in the world of live performance, the multicore has 24 stranded bare copper wires (Class 6, VDE 0295), colour-coded and numbered, and 4mm² conductor cross-section, all enclosed in a durable PVC jacket offering extreme cold resistance. With an additional braided textile layer for stability, the PVC jacket retains its stability and tensile strength under the most extreme conditions of up to -40°C.

This 24-way speaker multicore can replace up to three 8-way speaker cables for PA systems such as those supplied by d&b audiotechnik and L-Acoustics. Its use reckons to significantly cut set-up and breakdown times, and enables large-scale line array systems to be hooked up clearly and cleanly without confusion.

With precisely these applications in mind, Klotz designed three different models of its LP244XY Series eXtreme multicores with PA-COM 25p connectors. The LP244XY Series is available in a heavy-duty version with Remke solid metal strain relief and silver-plated or gold-plated contacts. Klotz also supplies a budget version with ZEP plastic strain relief and silver-plated contacts. The speaker multicores have PA-COM female connectors without ring on one end and PA-COM male connectors with ring on the other for quick, simple length extension.

Models in the lineup include LP244XY3C with Remke heavy-duty metal strain relief and gold-plated contacts; LP244XY3S with Remke heavy-duty metal strain relief and silver-plated contacts; and LP244XY1S with ZEP plastic strain relief and silver-plated contacts.
