Product Information
Full details
The Neutrik NP2RX is designed for professional audio engineers, musicians, and technicians who require a durable, space-saving connection for instrument and line-level cables. Its primary benefit is the combination of a low-profile 90-degree design and a virtually indestructible chuck-type strain relief system, which prevents cable failure during intense use. One caveat is that this plug is a mono (2-pole) connector, meaning it is specifically engineered for unbalanced signals like electric guitars or mono synthesizers and is not suitable for stereo applications.

FAQs
Can I use this for a stereo headphone cable?
No. The NP2RX is a 2-pole (mono) connector and will not carry stereo signals.
What is the maximum cable diameter this plug can accept?
It is designed to accommodate cables with an outer diameter between 4mm and 7mm.
Is this plug shielded?
Yes, the zinc die-cast metal shell provides effective EMI shielding for your audio signal.
Does this require special tools to assemble?
You need a standard soldering iron and basic wiring tools; no proprietary Neutrik tools are required for assembly.
Why is it better than a cheaper plastic plug?
The NP2RX uses metal parts that won't crack under pressure, and the chuck-style strain relief is far more effective at preventing cable pull-out than simple friction-fit shells.
Troubleshooting
Intermittent audio signal
Check the solder joints for cold joints or breakage. Ensure the cable is properly clamped by the internal chuck system.
Connector feels loose in the jack
Verify that your female socket is compliant with the standard EIA RS 453. Ensure the cable's outer diameter is within the range accepted by the Neutrik chuck (4-7mm).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable zinc die-cast construction
- Compact right-angle design for high-density pedalboards
- Superior cable strain relief compared to standard crimp-style plugs
- One-piece tip eliminates common failure points like loose rivets
Cons
- Not compatible with stereo (TRS) signals
- Requires manual soldering skills for assembly
- Larger footprint than some lightweight plastic alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the NP2RX, you will need a soldering iron, high-quality solder, and wire strippers.
- Slide the shell and the rubber bushing onto your cable before soldering.
- Strip the cable and tin the wires.
- Solder the hot signal lead to the tip contact and the ground shield to the sleeve terminal.
- Ensure the chuck is tightened securely over the cable jacket before sliding the shell into place.
This plug is fully compatible with any standard 6.35mm (1/4-inch) mono female jack. To maintain the longevity of the connector, periodically inspect the chuck-type strain relief to ensure it has not loosened after years of use. If the contacts appear dull, a quick wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth or a dedicated contact cleaner will maintain signal integrity.
