richard Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi All I'm after some kind of panel mount socket to use for 12v power, to fit in a cut out meant for an XLR (in one of the tech pro style boxes from canford) - any ideas as to what is best? Thanks! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryNattrass Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Use a 4 pin XLR as that is widely used in film and TV for 12V PSU and battery feeds. My Panasonic P2 camera has a 4 pin XLR external PSU input. Pin 1 groundPin 4 12V DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I have kit that uses 2 & 3 as power and some that use 3 & 4 then there seems to be an AV convention of 1 & 4 ! So it seems there isn't much of a standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryNattrass Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I agree with the above and Canford have this on their site but for all my TV and Film kit it seems to be pin 1 and 4. https://www.canford.co.uk/Technical/Article/XLR4PinWiringConvention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
