Post by: howierd on June 06, 2005, 05:00:47 PM

Hey guys, Does anyone know where I can order The male and female Din plugs.  I have a roll of cable so I can make my own cable lengths.  Howierd

Howard, you can try Parts Express. I have used them for several different types of connectors and plugs and they are always very helpful. They ship the same day you order, and their prices are great.

They're XLR's not DIN's. Neutriks are the best IME.

All these years i've been calling them din connecters. Thats probably why I can't find any. The original plugs are Switchcraft, so I'll check their web site.

I seem to remember that a lot of MIDI cables have DIN plugs, usually molded to the cable.

They are definately called 5 pin XLR connectors.  I like www.markertek.com (http://www.markertek.com).

Sorry for making a point ;) but there are DIN connectors, and there are XLR connectors. If you need a DIN, you can't use an XLR, and vice versa.
