Neutrik ® XLR connector 3 pin BALANCED -NC3MXX (Male) + NC3FXX (Female) – PAIR

Neutrik ® XLR connector 3 pin BALANCED -NC3MXX (Male) + NC3FXX (Female) – PAIR (High Performance)

The NC3MXX and NC3FXX are the premium high performance studio standard 3 pole male and female XLR connectors with Nickel housing and gold contacts. They form next generation of the worldwide accepted standard of XLR cable connectors. The successor of the X series, they offer several new features which make them more reliable, easier to assemble and improves contact integrity as well cable strain relief.

Compact design with sturdy diecast shell, fiberglass reinforced hard plastic insert and chuck type strain relief for secure clamping of all cables.

Features & Benefits
