Frequently Asked Questions
Why is nickel-plated die-cast aluminum superior to plastic connectors?
Die-cast aluminum is physically much stronger, protecting the internal pin terminations from being crushed or bent. In addition, the all-metal shell acts as a shield against external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI), providing a cleaner, lower-noise audio signal compared to plastic connectors.
How does the nylon clamping and PVC terminal spring system work?
When you screw the back boot of the connector on, the inner nylon clamp compresses directly around the outer cable jacket, taking the tension off of the solder joints. The PVC terminal spring extends outward from the boot to prevent the cable from bending at sharp angles, greatly extending cable life under heavy stage-use.
Are these connectors compatible with standard balanced microphone cables?
Yes, they are compatible with standard professional balanced microphone cables, line-level interconnects, multi-pair stage snakes, and active stage monitors. The internal solder cups are perfectly sized to receive standard professional wire gauges.
How many connectors come in a standard package?
The XLR3MVPRO is sold in a convenient, cost-effective 4-piece master pack, which is perfect for building stereo pairs, patch cords, or having essential spares in your field kit.
