Product Description

The NEUTRIK AMERICAS NC3MD-LX-BAG is a 3-pin male XLR connector finished in black and silver. It serves as a cable-end connector for balanced audio signal wiring in professional audio, broadcast, lighting control, and AV integration applications. The connector accepts a standard male XLR pinout and is designed for field termination onto microphone cables, snake cables, and other balanced-line wiring. Installation is performed by audio technicians, AV integrators, and electricians working on low-voltage signal systems. The black shell with silver contacts gives a clean, professional appearance while maintaining standard XLR mechanical compatibility.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial audio installations, touring and live sound setups, studio wiring, and fixed-installation AV systems. It is commonly terminated onto microphone cables, DMX lighting control lines, and balanced analog audio runs.
