New MonsterÆ Lockô Connectors For Hookups, Upgrades And Speaker Cable

Monster Cable Products, Inc., one of the leading manufacturers of high-end speaker, audio, video and computer cables; in-wall speakers and accessories is introducing the Monster Lockô modular speaker cable termination system. Monster Lock connectors allow a quick and easy exchange of terminations on speaker cable. A cone-shaped 24k gold contact Monster Lock Master Pinô (ML SGP) is the basic termination. ML SGP by itself can be connected to any speakerís spring-loaded connector or binding post. The Monster Lock system is versatile with eight additional threaded termination options that quickly and easily attach to the Master Pin to meet the requirements of any system. The user gains an instant choice between Gold Pin termination (The Master Pin), Straight or Angled Spades (medium, large and extra large), Monster TipsÆ (bananas) and Flex Pinsô. Just screw the desired connector onto the Master Pin. With Monster Locks and Monster says it will never be necessary to buy new cables when modifying a system. Monster says that each piece of the Monster Lock system is created on a Swiss Screw Machine to ensure precision crafting within .0005 inch. The conical portion of the Master Pin fits into a reverse cone of the attachment, both of which are fitted with threads that meet and grasp the two pieces so contact surface area is maximized. Because the contact area is as large as possible, resistance is minimized, resulting in greater clarity and optimum signal transfer. This revolutionary design won an Innovations Award at WCES 98 for cutting-edge technology. Monster Lock connectors are being introduced as a termination option on all Monster M SeriesÆ and Z Seriesô speaker cables. The Monster Lock Master Pin is also available as a crimp-on accessory to terminate or re-terminate any speaker cable. Two-pair packs of Master Pins or any of the other connectors retail for $12.50.
