Bryson Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Does anyone recall what these slightly-larger-than-regular-XLR connectors are called? Generally found on older passive Meyer speakers (before they were all powered.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Amphenol AP or EP?http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/68483.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Meyer used to use Amphenol EPs (along with D&B and others). I prefer them to speakon (metal body, can daisy chain without annoying couplers), but they seem to have gone out of fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McCulloch Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Meyer used to use Amphenol EPs (along with D&B and others). I prefer them to speakon (metal body, can daisy chain without annoying couplers), but they seem to have gone out of fashion.Not sure about price in the UK, but in the USA the EP series sold for about 3x the price of SpeakOn.After the era of using AC mains "twist lock" connectors faded, the EP series became the de facto choice; when Neutrik introduced the SpeakOn the popularity of the EP series faded except with the high priced speaker systems and Clair/ShowCo/DB Sound proprietary systems. A USA-centric view from this side of the Big Pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Part 2: Can anyone name this multipin snake connector? Interesting sidetone to the original question: I noted yesterday that the train I catch uses Amphenol EP-6 connectors to control something to do with the doors.

ninjadingle Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I always thought they were VEAM connectors - but I believe that's a trade name from ITT Cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappie Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Can anyone name this multipin snake connector?It looks like a reverse-gender 150-pin MIL-C-5015 connector (Tourline/ VDM/ LK compatible etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
