Introduction

Neutrik XLR connectors are the most well known series of products manufactured by Neutrik, and have provided the professional audio industry a simple, yet striking, concept in connector features. We introduced our first XLR product 40 years ago. Today it is the accepted standard worldwide.

XLR connectors are part of almost every aspect of professional audio; as a microphone connector, in lighting systems, and found in almost any piece of sound equipment in the entertainment industry. The outstanding success of our XLR products is Neutrik's blend of innovation with the highest quality performance.

XLR Connectors

A glance into the future: maxCON® – the new XLR standard

Neutrik's success story began with the construction of the first prototype of a new XLR female cable connector.

The first NC3FC products were delivered in October 1975. During the years 1976, 1977 and 1978 this product range was continuously reworked and improved. In 1983 a new concept was introduced with the X series that has become a world standard.

The further development of the X series leading to the XX series with the unique protection against copying, the hologram, is based on this hundred million times sold X series.
