Overview

The Neutrik NCJ6FA-V is a combo XLR/1/4" jack socket designed for professional audio applications where panel space is at a premium and input flexibility is essential. By combining both connector types into a single standard XLR panel cutout, it allows equipment builders and installers to offer two connection options per channel without doubling the number of panel holes or increasing enclosure size. This makes it a popular choice for stage boxes, patch panels, rack-mount equipment, and custom audio installations where different musicians or engineers may arrive with different cable types.

Built to Neutrik's professional standards, the NCJ6FA-V features a vertical PCB-mount orientation and the robust metal construction the brand is known for in touring and installed sound environments. The XLR portion provides a latching connection for secure cable retention, while the 1/4" jack accepts both TRS (balanced) and TS (unbalanced) plugs. This 5-pack is suited for projects that require multiple sockets — whether building a new patch panel from scratch, upgrading an existing stage box, or keeping spares on hand for maintenance and repairs.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Dual-format design accepts both XLR and 1/4" connectors in a single panel position, saving space and reducing required cutouts
  • Neutrik's established reputation for durable, reliable connectors in professional audio environments
  • Standard XLR panel cutout dimensions make it a drop-in replacement for existing XLR-only sockets
  • Sold in a 5-pack, which is cost-effective for building or outfitting patch panels and equipment racks
  • Vertical PCB mount orientation suits a wide range of chassis and enclosure designs

👎 Cons

  • Only one connector type can be used at a time — the combo design does not allow simultaneous XLR and 1/4" connections
  • The vertical mount orientation may not suit all enclosure layouts; horizontal-mount alternatives exist in the NCJ series but are sold separately
  • No locking mechanism for the 1/4" jack side, so those connections can be pulled out more easily than the latching XLR side
  • Basic straight socket with no switching or signal routing features
