The connector accepts cables up to 8mm in diameter and uses solder contacts for termination, with silver-plated brass pins for low-resistance connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for professional audio applications where a male XLR connector is needed on a microphone cable, mixer output, or equipment lead, the NC3MXX is the standard Neutrik male plug found in touring, studio, installation and broadcast audio work. The chuck-type strain relief grips the cable jacket without requiring a separate clamp, and the rubber boot flexes to protect the cable exit point from repeated bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal shell is nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under handling and thermal cycling. The connector meets IEC 61076-2-103 and is compatible with any standard 3-pole XLR female socket including Neutrik's own NC3FXX and chassis-mount equivalents. The solder contacts accept wire gauges from 0.14mm² to 1.5mm², covering the majority of microphone and line-level cable constructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable diameter does it accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chuck-type strain relief and rubber boot accommodate cables from approximately 3.5mm to 8mm outer diameter. Most standard microphone cables (2-core screened, 6-7mm diameter) fit comfortably within this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the contacts solder or crimp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NC3MXX uses solder contacts. The pins are silver-plated brass and accept wire from 0.14mm² to 1.5mm² cross-section.
