Male 4-pin panel-mount XLR connector, nickel silver - Neutrik NEU-NC4MD-LX

The Neutrik NC4MD-LX is a 4-pole male panel-mount XLR connector with solder cups. It belongs to the DLX series: a compact all-metal nickel housing, silver-plated contacts, and a duplex ground contact that maintains integrity between the chassis and the cable connector while delivering strong electromagnetic shielding and RF protection.

The metal shell provides best overall RF protection; the male retention bar is all-metal instead of plastic for higher pull-out force. Larger solder contacts ease termination, and an optional link allows pin 1 to be joined to chassis ground easily. The D-style housing matches industry-standard D mounting dimensions.
