Neutrik - NC3MRX - Right Angle Male 3 Pin XLR connector (chrome body & silver contacts)

Neutrik NC3MRX Right Angle Male 3-Pin XLR Connector – Silver Body, Silver Contacts

The Neutrik NC3MRX is a professional right-angle 3-pin male XLR cable connector featuring a nickel-plated metal housing and silver-plated contacts. Part of Neutrik's industry-leading RX Series, this connector is specifically designed for applications where space is limited or cable routing needs to be carefully managed. Its ultra-slim right-angle design makes it ideal for microphones, stage boxes, audio racks, pedalboards, broadcast equipment, and installations where conventional straight connectors are impractical.

Built on the proven XX Series platform, the RX Series combines Neutrik's renowned reliability with enhanced flexibility. The NC3MRX features seven selectable cable outlet positions, allowing technicians to orient the cable to suit virtually any installation. This helps reduce cable stress, improve cable management, and minimise the connector's profile behind equipment.

The connector incorporates Neutrik's redesigned windowless locking recess, providing a stronger housing with improved durability compared to previous designs. An enhanced chuck-type strain relief securely grips cable diameters from 3.5mm to 8.0mm, while the polyurethane gland protects against cable bending stresses commonly encountered in touring and production environments.

Manufactured from rugged nickel-plated zinc die-cast components with silver-plated contacts, the NC3MRX delivers outstanding conductivity, long service life, and reliable performance. With a rated lifetime exceeding 1,000 mating cycles, it is built to meet the demands of professional audio, broadcast, and entertainment applications.
