VAN DAMME VDM PA-CONS - MULTI-PIN SPEAKER CONNECTORS

The 8- and 19-pin Van Damme connectors from the PA-Con series were originally introduced to support connections between amplifiers and speaker arrays in the brand's line array systems L-Acoustics. They are fully compatible with the connectors originally required CA-Com, while also offering improved design solutions. These include, among other things, a locking ring coated with special low-temperature-resistant rubber (arctic rubber) and a reliable compression gland that provides cable strain relief. The 8-pin version of the connector is also widely used in sound systems by the brand d&b audiotechnik.
