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
more than 30 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.
