Sound Grab Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Does anyone know the size of the screws used in the old 'flat' right angle Neutrik female XLR connectors? I'm trying to get my hands on replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myke2241 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I would look at eBay. it mite be cheaper just to replace the connector. But i also dont know the story so i assume you need to keep running those for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound Grab Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can't be the only one clinging to the life of these connectors. I have two reasons. 1. They provide somewhat of a 'locking' feature to the 411a when you're DC powering with a right angle connector. The new ones don't allow that due to size. 2. I like the flat side of the right angle XLR for when I'm resting my boom pole. Perhaps not a big deal keeping those around.... but I like them!

I've had to do some amateur machining on the new rounded ones to get to an angle that worked for me. The old flatter ones take up less space in a rig, and I also agree about the boom pole plug. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I will chime in here (although I do not know the official size of the screws, sorry) and say that I prefer the old style right angle connectors also. I like the flat surface and I like the fact that I can set the angle where I want to. I seem to remember that even with this old style I had to do a little bit of modification to actually make the connecter angle position be exactly the angle I wanted.

Michael Miramontes Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Try an R/C hobby shop for the screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
