Neutrik Speakon Parts Discontinued..

Toolfan66

Looks like the parts many of us used are now discontinued and replaced with new part numbers,
They look a little different for part number NL4MP-UC
Does anyone know if the old part numbers are interchangeable with the new? I would assume so.
NLT4FX-BAG is now NLT4FXX-BAG
NL4MP-UC is now NLFMPXX-UC
Hopefully this isn't a case like BH5 where new stock is inferior to old stock..
I am in need of one old stock part number NL4MP-UC

The new acronym for NLA is SOL.

I understand Neutrik had to change them to better locking versions to meet European safety regulations but they are at least as good as the old versions. Maybe ask PartsExpress about compatibility since they are a vendor.

Looks like PartsExpress is selling the old stock on eBay, I ordered 4 of them, if they are in fact the old stock I will be set.. and have a couple extra in case something stupid happens.

Well if anyone is interested in knowing, I ordered what I was thinking would be old stock of NL4MP-UC on Parts Express’s eBay store as that was how it was listed.
They sent the new style NLFMPXX-UC, so I was able to see if the old style and new style were interchangeable, and I can tell you that they are.
I can also tell you that I like the tighter locking feel they have to them better than the old style.
So if anyone cares the new style will work with the old, and you will like the way they lock down better..

Peace!!
