The connector accepts standard 3-pin XLR male plugs and provides balanced audio connection for microphones, line-level signals and other professional audio equipment. The D-series housing uses Neutrik's latch-lock mechanism to secure the mating plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for permanent installation in mixer panels, patch bays, stage boxes, equipment racks and amplifier rear panels, the NC3FD-LX mounts through a standard D-series chassis cutout and fixes with two M3 screws. The solder terminals accept cable conductors up to 2.5mm² and provide separate connection points for pins 1, 2 and 3 plus an earth contact linked to the metal shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc die-cast body and nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion in touring and installed audio environments. The 2-screw fixing distributes mechanical stress across the panel, reducing the risk of connector loosening under repeated plug insertion and removal. The connector meets IEC 61076-2-103 specifications for XLR connectors and carries Neutrik's standard durability rating for professional audio applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable gauge does it accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solder terminals accommodate cable conductors up to 2.5mm² cross-section. Most professional microphone and line-level cables fall within this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat panel cutout size is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NC3FD-LX uses a standard Neutrik D-series chassis hole, which is 24mm diameter.

The NC3FD-LX accepts all standard 3-pin XLR male plugs including Neutrik NC3MXX, Amphenol, Switchcraft and other manufacturers following IEC 61076-2-103 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the NC3FD-LX and NC3FDL-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NC3FD-LX uses a 2-screw panel mount, while the NC3FDL-1 uses a single central screw fixing. The LX version distributes mounting stress more evenly, making it preferable for heavier-duty or high-vibration installations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313478033675,"sku":"761.660UK","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/761660UK_LD1_9277be3a-bbb8-40ee-9d06-86e79b7a7bb1.jpg?v=1715193876","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/neutrik-nc3fd-lx-3-pin-xlr-chassis-female-socket","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
