Neutrik NC3MPP 3-Pin Male XLR Connector - Black Plastic

The Neutrik NC3MPP is a male 3-pin XLR cable connector built for professional audio signal connections. As part of Neutrik's plastic-body lineup, it offers the same precise pin alignment and positive-locking mechanism the brand is known for, while keeping weight and cost down compared to the company's nickel or black-chrome metal housings. The standard 3-pin configuration makes it suitable for microphone cables, analog line-level connections, and AES/EBU digital audio runs where a reliable, repeatable connection is essential.

Assembly is straightforward — the housing separates cleanly for soldering, and the pin layout follows the universal XLR standard. The locking latch engages firmly with female receptacles to prevent accidental pull-outs during a session or performance. While the plastic construction is not as impact-resistant as Neutrik's metal alternatives, it is more than adequate for studio installs, fixed AV systems, and cable builds that do not face the rigors of nightly touring. For audio professionals building or maintaining cable inventory on a budget, the NC3MPP strikes an effective balance between Neutrik-grade reliability and economy.
