Possibly the worst thing about those domestic DINs was the plastic melting at such a low temperature. Hardly ideal for a solder connector. The ones made by Hirschman don't show any tendency to melt, they use a compound a bit like Bakelite but less brittle - in fact it can prove quite difficult to melt-out and remove unwanted pins to make 'specials'. And I dunno what the pins were plated with, but it sure corroded easily even indoors. I've never had much of a problem with the pins, but I wouldn't want to rely on the shells for any sort of long-term contact, even though they are fitted with earthing spring leafs. But 'Touchel' which shared the same basic pin spacing etc is a decent enough connector. For some things. There is very little that is as robust as an XLR; but if you need to keep the size and price down, my experience suggests that well-made DIN connectors are the next best thing. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |

Somebody mentioned that XLRs are festival-proof. They're also pretty much drunk-proof, an issue in the real world.
