XLR ConnectorsXLR Connectors
Introduction
Neutrik XLR connectors are the most well known series of
products manufactured by Neutrik, and have provided the
professional audio industry a simple, yet striking, concept
in connector features. We introduced our first XLR product
40 years ago. Today it is the accepted standard worldwide.
XLR connectors are part of almost every aspect of profes-
sional audio; as a microphone connector, in lighting sys-
tems, and found in almost any piece of sound equipment
in the entertainment industry. The outstanding success of
our XLR products is Neutrik’s blend of innovation with the
highest quality performance.

A glance into the future:
maxCON® – the new XLR standard
Neutrik’s success story began with the
construction of the first prototype of a
new XLR female cable connector.
The first NC3FC products were
delivered in October 1975. During the
years 1976, 1977 and 1978 this product
range was continuously reworked and
improved. In 1983 a new concept was
introduced with the X series that has
become a world standard.
The further development of the X
series leading to the XX series with the
unique protection against copying, the
hologram, is based on this hundred
million times sold X series.
The next generation of audio
connectors – maxCON® – will offer
unique features and benefits based on
the small and innovative design.

XLR Cable Connectors XLR Cable Connectors
• The next generation of the worldwide accepted standard
• Unique cage type female contact – increases conductivity
• Female contact with “solder stop” for ease of soldering
• Male connector without locking “window” – more robust
housing, increases durability
• Improved chuck type strain relief - increases retention force
and makes assembly easier and faster
• New ground contact – excellent contact integrity between
chassis and cable connector
• Customized branding using translucent ring
• Sleek and ergonomic design – valuable and handy
• Unique hologram – guarantees genuineness and protects
against counterfeits
• Internal thread on shell is well protected against any
damage
• 3 pole male / female XLR cable connector with integrated
capacitive shield to shell connection to avoid RF-interference
and LF-noise
• 360° shield contact on female connector ensures best
possible shielding and chassis contact
• Avoid ground loops as there is no LF-shield connection to
ground
• Patented
Ergonomic latch
design
Design guarantees a continuous RF-shield connection but avoids
ground loops (no LF-shield connection)
Circular capacitor enables low-inductive shield connection to
connector housing
Cable shield - PIN 1 connection includes EMI suppression bead
(blocks high frequencies)
