musht Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just got some economically priced short DMX, XLR 3, leads in, reasonable shielded cable , connectors aren`t the horrible metal shelled XLR s with the 2 grub screws on the strain relief, they are plastic shells with cable strain chuck similar to Neutrik and thumb indent moulded opposite the latch. Intially thought plastc, oh no , drastic , in reality they are pretty tough, its a slightly flexible thick moulding , not brittle, seems to mate well with other well known brands. Mebbe was just being traditionalist about metal shells :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 That sounds like a pretty good idea - trivially avoids the possibility the accidental earth loops caused by connecting the shield to the shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I used to use plastic XLRs on my adaptors and "specials" to denote a ground lifted cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunray Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I used to use plastic XLRs on my adaptors and "specials" to denote a ground lifted cable. Such an obvious thing to do... once someone else comes up with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
