Know before you buy
NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) is a specialized crystalline material that generates negative ions to eliminate static and converts thermal energy into far-infrared. In this connector, it helps reduce electrical noise and resonance, resulting in a cleaner, more transparent signal path.
Yes, this is a solder-type connector. You will need to solder your cable conductors to the pins, and the housing is secured using the provided screws.
Yes, precision is important for optimal performance. The conductor wire set screws should be tightened to 25 cN·m, while the housing fixing screws require 30 cN·m of torque.
To prevent damage to the internal components, do not exceed a soldering temperature of 425°C, and limit the application time to a maximum of 15 seconds per connection.
This is a professional-grade male XLR plug designed for standard audio applications. Please ensure your cable diameter is compatible with the connector's internal dimensions before beginning your installation.
The product comes with specialized installation tools tailored to the connector's unique screw sizes, ensuring you can assemble the plug without damaging the housing or hardware.
