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.
The next generation of audio 
connectors – maxCON
®
 – will offer 
unique features and benefits based on 
the small and innovative design.
