Hicon HI-X3DM-M

Decent enough value XLR socket. While soldering it, the plastic parts seemed to melt a bit. Doesn't seem to have affected its performance, so I am not too worried about this but the other XLRs I was soldering at the same time did not show any signs of melting. Other than that, not much to say, it's a D size XLR socket, locks nicely with a couple of different XLR plugs and looks decent enough

Used for IEM outputs on a rack, and also a pedal.

Feels solid, like it will last a long time. Mates well with Neutrik plugs. Easy to solder onto.

Ne ho comprati 16 per il mio rack. Tutti si montano perfettamente, nessun problema di saldature. Viti e dadi non sono inclusi ma si trovano tranquillamente dal ferramenta, sono di misura M3 a testa svasata.

One of the things that stand out for me with this socket is the matte black finish. It looks professional with the makers name on it and the finish seems to be very resilient. The pins are not gold plated but they seem to make a good reliable connection. The socket is quite tight but I haven't had any problems with xlrs jamming. I've been using two of these on the outside of my pedalboard for about a year and they are standing up very well.

I used 16 of those for a panel, they do look good, but I had a couple of pins moving due to overheating of the soldering iron. Nothing that can't be fixed, but be careful when soldering. Maybe get and extra pair, still worth for the price difference.

I've used it on my DMX cable reel where i've mounted it to the reel. Soldering didnt cause any problem and it feels good to me. I think it will hold a while. I use alot of hicon connectors and they dont let me down.

Recommend it!

great quality - studio or stage!
