Default Best XLRs ?

Were they cheap clones of the old Canon two-screw design?

Short of dumping my clumsy client-base, any suggestions of the best (and
hopefully affordable) brand/model XLRs that can survive stage-use ?


Switchcraft or Neutrik. The Amphenol ones are okay too, but more money.
For monitors, you MIGHT consider investing in the Switchcraft right angle
connectors. They are far more expensive than the regular ones and not
a lot of places stock them, but they can eliminate a lot of problems when
cables need to come out parallel to the panel.
