[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 146755, member: 172"] Re: Strain relief nl2/ nl4 The musicians are pushing things over your cables and causing damage (presumably by catching on the cable and pulling)? Sounds like you need better cable protection, or some musicians need to be billed for cable repair. I'd be wary of improving the strain relief of the connectors - if you have the appropriate amount of outer jacket in the strain relief (you *did* follow the installation instructions including the amount of outer jacket to strip back, right? And you have the appropriate reduction bushing from Neutrik if your cables are less than 8m in diameter, right?), the strain relief works pretty well. Increasing the holding force of the strain relief simply transfers any force from the cable to other places in the system. This could be your amp rack, or could be your speakers. Improving the strain relief on an easily repaired cable could simply move the damage to a less easily repaired speaker input (e.g. broken connector or input plate) or amplifier rack. [/QUOTE]
