Hmmmm. Anybody else ever had a Neutrik XLR connector
break on them?
In my experience the plastic screw-on strain relief at
the rear of the connector cracks and breaks fairly
easily. I can't believe I'm the only person to have
seen this.

The Neutriks break off the strain relief. The
Switchcraft strain reliefs break off too. The Cannon
ones lose the little screws that hold the metal clip on
and then the strain relief breaks.

They all fail. Life's like that. Use whichever you
prefer. --scott

Well, if they all fail (and given enough abuse they will) then the
relevant question is which is cheaper and easier to buy and which is
easier to install. IME its Neutrik.


I agree. Neutrik XLR's are the quickest and easiest to wire up - lookalikes
may be cheaper but nearly always take longer.
And those Switchraft and Cannons with their screws that get lost and strain
relief that pops off take 2 or three times as long to wire up, total
nightmare IMHO.
I regularly undertake wiring jobs and will not use anything other than
Neutrik - the job is cheaper, easier and far more reliable than anything
else on the market and "nobody ever got fired for using Neutrik". Win win
win win win.
