I use those as a cheap alternative to Neutrik (mainly for things such as amp rack patch panels where they will be plugged in once and left like that). They're decent but they are by no means better than Neutrik or Amphenol. They're also not waterproof. Splash-proof maybe... That's not an amazing price for them either, that's pretty much Neutrik money if you're not buying your connectors from a ridiculous source EDIT: They're actually more expensive once you factor in postage...

Hey, I just discovered a chinese brand and they are doing a great work.. better than Neutrik in some points (waterproof, better finishing, doesnt smash the cable like Amphenol) for an affordable price. Its called SREXACT, follow the link if anyone want to try:

Even on a huge rig, going to clones saves you what, £100? That's not a lot of cash for peace of mind. If it's that tight use bloody banana plugs.

Well would you want your last 4 core to snap a plug 5 mins before you need it to save a few $? What would that be worth to you then?
Like I said, I've tried 4 alternatives, some from chain stores, some from ebay(although I haven't tried the amphenol-other amphenol products like XLRs I have used have been excellent) have ALL failed rather quickly. Nothing worse than having to sit with a screwdriver and swap a plug at the last minute. I know this because I have had to do it with a cheapy that snapped AND it was as the event organiser walked by with a disapproving look...

Exactly. And that's why they are not fakes. They are not passing themselves off as Neutriks. A fake is a forgery or a counterfeit. If they had the Neutrik brand name on them they would be fakes. Look, I'm not trying to sell these to anyone. I'm just reporting on my experience on some alternatives to the usual Speakons, which is what this thread is about. They look like a good deal for anyone looking to save a bit of money. |

They're fake because firstly they are 'Pratt' branded, not neutrik. The ad even says Speakon 'compatible'. Every single non genuine speakon STYLE connector I have tried has been rubbish. ALL of them have been binned and are all now genuine ONLY purchased from known genuine sources. Some of the copies are VERY close when you look at them but once the cheap plastic starts snapping and those cheap screws strip out etc, it's just money down the toilet. They(genuine) are not that expensive, just use the right ones. If you need colour coded speakons, order their coloured rings.
