Neutrik NC3MXX 3 Pole Male Cable Connector w/ Nickel Housing & Silver

The Neutrik NC3MXX 3 Pole Male Cable Connector with Nickel Housing and Silver Contacts is next generation of the worldwide accepted standard of XLR cable connectors. The successor of the X series offers several new features which make it more reliable, easier to assemble and improves contact integrity as well cable strain relief.

The XLR male connector features an improved locking recess without a “window,” with a more robust housing that enhances durability. An upgraded chuck-type strain relief provides higher pull-out force and makes assembly faster and easier. The connector includes a boot with a polyurethane gland to protect against cable bending stresses, and colored rings and boots are available for coding or identification. Its sleek, ergonomic design makes it practical and user-friendly, while the rugged zinc die-cast shell ensures long-lasting reliability. Additionally, the internal thread on the shell is well protected against damage.
