Default What Does "XLR" Mean? -- Official Answer

e(X)aggerated (L)ong-term (R)eliability

I have a pair of AKG C460s with unreliable XLR connections, leading to phantom
power-introduced noise if the cables are moved. They're about 10 years old and
got a lot of use, but it seems the male XLR pins on the mics are worn enough to
compromise the contact quality. New female XLRs on the cables still don't make
solid connection.
